All Reviews of Hokumon Shrine

When visiting one of Japan's northernmost shrines, of course you can't miss taking home a precious goshuin from Japan's northernmost shrine. There's also a unique little touch near the shrine entrance: the hand-washing station automatically dispenses water, which I found convenient and interesting. Besides enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this northern shrine, don't forget to get a goshuin as a special keepsake from your trip.

This shrine is at the northernmost tip of Japan, and coming here really gives you that “I made it to the very top” feeling. It feels super memorable and worth visiting.

Coming to pay my respects in this kind of weather, my mind just quiets down without me even realizing it. My feet were so cold they went numb, but somehow I actually felt pretty calm.
