Funadama Shrine
Make a wish with a water-soluble tag! Pray at the shrine where the legend of Yoshitsune still remains
The oldest shrine in Hokkaido, Funatama Shrine is said to have been built by a high priest named Roshinobu Shonin, who built the Kannon Hall. According to the legend of Yoshitsune, Yoshitsune and his party crossed the Tsugaru Strait to flee to Ezo, but were caught in a storm, but they escaped thanks to the guidance of the Funatama Shrine. An interesting feature of the shrine is the “water-dissolvable prayer book. If you write your wish and float it in the water in the stone bowl, it will eventually dissolve and your wish will come true. A first fee of 100 yen is to be paid.
