After leaving Kushiro, next stop was Sapporo. My stroll in Maruyama Park led me to Hokkaido Jingu (Shrine.) Shrine Gate had impressive Shimenawa (The Sacred Rope) with beautiful details and the Shrine Chamber sits behind this gate.
This Shrine is also a great place for birdwatching.

札幌、丸山公園に隣接する北海道神宮の神門に掛けられた大きなしめ縄
神門の隙間から奥に見えたのが本殿でした
神社の境内で、こんなにいろんな野鳥が見られるなんて、ステキ
