The guardian shrine of Sapporo Susukino's prosperous business

Susukino is a well-known red-light district in Sapporo. In the bustling neighborhood, there is a "Toyokawa Inari Sapporo Betsuin" with a history of more than a hundred years. It is known as the "Guardian of Susukino" and enshrines Inari, the god who blesses commercial prosperity, Daikokuten, Ebisu, the Seven Lucky Gods and other gods. What is more special is that the temple set up the "Susukino Prostitute and Mizuko Mourning Monument" in 1976 to commemorate the deceased prostitutes and infant spirits. The shrine sacrifices in Japan are in response to the characteristics of the local environment, which also shows the close connection between shrines and people's livelihood. #Valentine's Day Destinations #JapanTravel #Hokkaido #Sapporo #Shrine
