It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Otaru Station to Sumiyoshi Shrine, which is about 2 km away. You can enjoy the snowy street scene along the way. From the torii to the main hall, the entire Sumiyoshi Shrine is covered with thick white snow. The red torii is surrounded by a blockade because of the snow. Climb up the snow-covered stairs to the main hall. Looking back, you can still see the sea. The road extends all the way to the seaside. The scenery is very beautiful. There are not many tourists here, the whole shrine is very quiet, you can slowly appreciate the beauty of the shrine #MarchGoodPlaces2025

The history of this shrine began when it was established in 1864 as the general guardian of both districts of "Otarnai" and "Takashima", and boasts a history of more than 160 years.

At Sumiyoshi Shrine, various prayers are held, such as Shichigosan pilgrimage, healing of illness, and exorcism for the year of bad luck.
