[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Jozankei Shrine (Updated Jul)

We visited Jozankei Shrine first thing in the morning, and it felt like stepping into a quiet, sacred world. The snow-covered torii gate and shrine buildings gave the entire place a mysterious, almost magical aura. It was completely still—no other visitors around—just us, the fresh snow, and the silence of the forest. The path leading up to the shrine was peaceful and undisturbed, and we took our time soaking in the atmosphere. The contrast of white snow against the dark wood and red accents of the shrine made for such a beautiful and calming scene. It felt like we were witnessing a side of Hokkaido that few get to see. Though simple in design, the shrine held a certain quiet power. Standing there in the crisp morning air, it was easy to feel a deep connection with nature and the history of the place. This wasn’t just another stop—it was a genuinely serene moment that stayed with us. #summervacay #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #japan #japantrip #JozankeiShrine #HiddenGemHokkaido #WinterInJapan #SnowyShrine #PeacefulMornings #MysticalJapan

Walking into Jozankei is like stepping into a healing embrace of nature. In the morning, we first came to the quiet Jozankei Shrine. Surrounded by the quaint torii and greenery, we prayed softly, and our hearts became peaceful. Then we strolled to Futami Park and walked slowly along the trail. The breeze caressed our faces and the stream gurgled, making us feel relaxed and happy. Walked on the suspension bridge, overlooking the clear stream and the lush mountains on both sides, and felt the grandeur and softness of nature. Walking into the Shiraito Falls, the delicate water flow slid lightly from the rock wall, making a crisp sound, as if playing a gentle movement for the journey. In the afternoon, soak in the warm hot spring pool, let the heat surround your body and mind, and dispel all fatigue. A day in Jozankei makes people feel the beautiful interweaving of nature and tranquility, and the soul is quietly healed. Recommended route: Buy a one-day ticket (bus + hot spring), book a Kappa liner, and take it to Jozankei Shrine - Jozankei Spring Park - Futami Park - Futami Footbath - lunch - Furukawa Hot Spring - Shiraito Falls. #5月好去处2025
