A shrine where you can meet cute "rabbits"

#aprilblooms The shrine of Yukura Shrine has a myth related to "Usagi", so you can see many things with rabbit motifs in the precincts. On the money box, there is a wood-carved rabbit held by the enshrined deity, and next to the main hall, there is a "snode rabbit" that is said to fulfil a wish while stroking. In addition, white rabbits such as "Healing Hammer" and "Temari Usagi", which are said to make the wish of curing the disease come true, and the brightly coloured hand hammer signboard are also gaining popularity as photo spots. There are also many types of omikuji, such as "Usagi Gobu" and "Ika Suomikuji", which is related to Hakodate's specialty "Squid".
