A host of shrines are scattered throughout Sapporo's city and suburbs. Straw ropes called shimenawa hang on trees and doorways to mark the boundaries of the sacred spaces. And, of course, iconic torii gates of stone or wood mark the entrances. Anyone can visit the resident gods, called kami. Pause in front of the main hall to enjoy a moment of calm during your journey to Japan.
