[2025 Otaru Attraction] Travel Guide for Suitengu Shrine (Updated Jun)

Suitengu Shrine, situated on a hillside, is an ancient and solemn shrine. From the shrine's courtyard, you can overlook the entire harbor, with a gentle sea breeze bringing a hint of saltiness. The flower beds surrounding the shrine bloom with vibrant flowers throughout the seasons, creating a picturesque contrast with the distant sea view. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, and pink petals flutter in the wind, as if draping the shrine in a dreamy veil. In summer, hydrangeas bloom under the sunlight, with blue flowers extending like the ocean, bringing a touch of coolness. In autumn, the fiery red leaves set the hillside ablaze, creating a stark contrast with the shimmering harbor. In winter, the shrine's roof is covered with snow, but the plum blossoms in the flower beds stand proudly in the cold wind, exuding a faint fragrance. Suitengu Shrine is not only a place where local residents pray for blessings but also an excellent spot for tourists to appreciate natural beauty. Here, people can feel the magnificence of nature and the tranquility of the shrine, as if their souls are purified and elevated.
