Hokkaido Jingu, Sapporo Overview
Hokkaido's principal shrine, set in the woods of Maruyama Park, and the pairing is the city's main cherry blossom spot. The timing is the useful part for anyone planning a trip around blossom: Hokkaido flowers in early May, several weeks after Tokyo and Kyoto, so this is where you go if you arrive too late for the rest of the country.
