上國寺 / Jokoku-ji Temple

上國寺（位於上之國町）是北海道最古老的寺院之一。根據這個寺院的紀錄，寺院的創立是在1560年左右，而本堂的天花板的木板上，則寫著是在1758年時修建完成。根據這些紀錄，本堂是現存寺院建築當中，為北海道最古老的建築。2008年和2009年時進行著修復工程，復甦了寺廟當初完工時的模樣。

Jokoku-ji Temple (Kaminokuni Town) is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Hokkaido. According to historic records kept in the temple, its foundation was around 1560. Also, a wooden board on the ceiling of the main building writes that a re-construction of the main building was done in 1758. Because of this, the main building is one of the oldest wooden constructions still preserved in the modern day in Hokkaido. Over 2008 and 2009, a new renovation was carried out, making it possible to see the original design of the wooden building.
