Takashima Inari Shrine stands on a hill in the Takashima district between Shukutsu and Temiya. It is said to have been founded in 1690 (Genroku 3), making it one of the oldest shrines in Hokkaido. The oldest shrine in Sapporo was also founded in 1855, meaning that Takashima Inari Shrine was founded over 160 years earlier than the oldest shrine in Sapporo.

This is a historic shrine dating back to the days of Takashima, a place that prospered from herring fishing. The view of the sea around Otaru from the vermilion torii gates on the high ground of Takashima looks like something out of Hokkaido, almost like the Seto Inland Sea.
