金比羅神社 / Konpira Shrine

金比羅神社（位於初山別村）對北海道民眾來說也是很少人知道非常獨特的神社。神社的鳥居直立於海中，此神社是祭祀保佑海上交通安全之神的金比羅神。在以前，有金比羅神的護身符隨著海流流到這個海岬，當地漁夫便拿來供奉著。據說之後便流傳著附近海域的海難事故就減少了。這裡也是欣賞夕陽的著名景點。

Konpira Shrine (Shosanbetsu Village) is a unique shrine despite not being known by most people in Hokkaido. The gate of this shrine is called "torii" in Japanese. This shrine is unique, as the main torii is standing in the sea. This shrine worships the protective deity of sea transportation that is called Konpira Sama. Many years ago, a lucky amulet drifted ashore and fishermen enshrined it there. After that, they say the number of marine accidents have decreased. Now, this place is also popular for watching the magical sunset. Looking through the torii at the setting sun is truly a special feeling.
