(Translated by Google) I came to Hokkaido because I wanted to come here this time. Expectations that will not betray First of all, let's move forward without losing the overwhelming feeling of ruins! Follow the guidance to the parking lot. I'm worried about where the parking lot is, but I'm going! 😊 Everyone working in the hall is very kind. If you read the exhibition inside slowly, it will be a great time. The elevator mechanism is amazing ~ It's like an attraction. This alone is recommended! I enjoyed listening to the story in the demonstration corner. In a sense, the exhibition in the middle is proper, so the gap with the outside is also good (´∀ `) I definitely want to visit again. I'm expecting the tunnel to resume. (Original) 今回ここに来たくて北海道に来ました。 裏切らない期待感 まず圧倒的な廃墟感に負けずドンドン進もう!という案内にしたがって駐車場まで進みます。いったいどこが駐車場なんだと不安になる感じですがとにかく進む! 😊館内で働いてる方たちは皆さんとても親切です。中の展示もゆっくり読んでまわったらすごい時間がたちます。 エレベーターの仕掛けはすごいですね〜 アトラクションなみです。これだけでもオススメ! 実演コーナーはお話も聞けて楽しかった。 ある意味中の展示はちゃんとしてるので外とのギャップも逆にいいです(´∀`) また是非訪れたいです。 坑道も再開期待してます。

Educational and well set up. Just needs English explanations (an English pamphlet or audio guide will be a good start). Small souvenir shop at the main entrance.

(Translated by Google) Finally my first visit. It was quiet and a little thrilling until I arrived at the building (laughs), but the contents of the exhibition were substantial and it was really worth seeing, and it was a learning experience. The demonstration of the drum cutter in the underground exhibition and the story of the former miner staff were particularly interesting and interesting. By the way, I received a coal iron port card. The ones I received at the time of the underground exhibition are the front and back of the local aerial photographs of 1960 and 2020. The prosperity of those days is known, and I am deeply moved. It is a facility that we would like many people to visit. (Original) ようやく初訪問。 建物に着くまでは閑散としてて少しドキドキしましたが(笑)展示内容が充実していて本当に見応えがあり、勉強になりました。 地下展示のドラムカッターの実演と元坑夫のスタッフさんのお話が特に興味深くて、面白かったです。 ちなみに炭鉄港カードというものを頂きました。地下展示の際に頂いたものは1960年と2020年の現地航空写真が表裏になっているもの。当時の繁栄ぶりが窺い知れて、感慨深いものがあります。 沢山の方に訪れて頂きたい施設です。

(Translated by Google) I felt that there was something amazing about the living environment of a coal miner. I was very impressed with the director's speech. You will be overwhelmed when you see the exhibition. Prosperity in the coal mines around Yubari city, and conversion to tourism. I think it will be a great learning experience to catch a glimpse of the declining population of the towns we see everywhere. thank you very much. (Original) 炭坑夫の生活環境には、凄いものがあるんだなあと感じました。 館長のおはなしが、とても感銘受けました。 展示を観ると圧倒されます。 夕張市周辺の炭鉱での繁栄、そして観光への転換。どこにでもある過疎化の街の行末を垣間見るためにも、勉強になると思います。 ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) The Yubari City Coal Museum is a valuable facility for learning about the history and culture of Yubari City. You can learn about the history of the coal industry and the Yubari coal mine, which plays an essential role in the development of the region. There is a wide range of exhibits, including models, photographs, and actual objects, allowing you to get a real feel for the lives of coal miners and the working landscape of coal mines. The museum also has facility guides and explanatory panels that provide easy-to-understand information. The staff are also kind and will answer your questions thoroughly. However, it may be difficult to take a good look at the exhibits during busy times, so we recommend visiting on weekdays or at different times. Admission fees are reasonable, and those interested in local history and culture will have a meaningful time here. Overall, the Yubari City Coal Museum is loved by locals and tourists as a valuable asset to the region. (Original) 夕張市石炭博物館は、夕張市の歴史や文化を知る上で貴重な施設です。石炭産業の歴史や夕張炭鉱の様子を学ぶことができ、地域の発展に欠かせない役割を果たしています。展示物は充実しており、模型や写真、実物などを通じて炭鉱労働者の生活や炭鉱の作業風景をリアルに感じることができます。また、博物館内には施設案内や解説パネルがあり、わかりやすく情報を提供してくれます。スタッフの方々も親切で、質問に丁寧に答えてくれます。ただし、混雑時は展示物をじっくり見ることが難しいこともありますので、平日や時間帯を選んで訪れることをおすすめします。入館料も手頃で、地域の歴史や文化に興味がある方にとって、有意義な時間を過ごすことができるでしょう。総じて、夕張市石炭博物館は、地域の貴重な資産として地元の方々や観光客に愛されています。

(Translated by Google) The Coal Museum provides easy-to-understand explanations of the history of Yubari and the coal mines. There are explanatory texts for each period, from the start of coal mining to the prosperous period and then to the closure of the mine. The machines that were actually used were preserved in the basement. Not only is it stored, but it also powers the machine. With explanation. It was not possible to enter the simulated tunnel due to a fire. (Original) 石炭博物館は夕張や炭坑の歴史を、分かりやすく解説されています。 採炭を開始してから繁栄期、そして閉山と、その時期に応じて解説文がありました。 地下には、実際に使われていた機械が保存されていました。 保存されているだけでなく、機械を動かしてくれるんですよ。 説明付きで。 模擬坑道は火災があった影響で入坑できませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Yubari Coal Museum. Unfortunately, coal, which is still used for power generation, iron production, and can be used for firing cement and distilling whisky, is imported from overseas. There is still a lot of coal in Hokkaido that can be extracted as much as you like if you dig it. Was it troublesome to think of a way to utilize it somehow? (Original) 夕張石炭博物館です。 現在も発電、製鉄に使用され、セメントの焼成にもウィスキーの蒸留にも利用できる石炭は、しかし、残念ながら海外から輸入されています。 掘ればいくらでも採れる石炭が、まだ北海道にはたくさんあります。 どうにかして活用する方法を考えるのが面倒だったのでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) Admission fee: 750 yen (credit card is only accepted if you hold it up to read it) It's a long drive from the previous entrance, and it feels so abandoned that I wonder if it's actually open... The parking lot toilet is quite old, so I recommend using it inside the museum (it's very clean) The reception staff were very kind. The tour route is one-way and leads to the parking lot, so you will need to purchase souvenirs in advance. The tall orange building seen from the outside is passed by when going down the elevator, and it is interesting that it is pitch dark while descending the elevator. The facility is good and I hope it continues to exist. It was a shame that the facility that used to have a lot of stuffed animals on display is no longer there (I wanted to see the giant polar bear again (T_T)) (Original) 入場料750円(クレジットカードはかざして読み込むやつのみ可) 以前の入口からだいぶ車で進みます、ホントに営業してるのか不安になるほどの廃墟感が… 駐車場トイレはかなり古いので博物館内の使用をオススメします(こちらは凄く綺麗) 受付スタッフさんはとても親切な対応でした 見学ルートは一方通行で駐車場に出てしまうためお土産は先に購入する必要あり 外から見えた高いオレンジの建物はエレベーターで下る際に通過、このエレベーター降下中が真っ暗で面白いです 施設は良いものなので存続してほしいです 昔剥製がいっぱい展示してあった施設ははもうなくなっていたのが残念でした(巨大な白熊をもう一度みたかった(T_T))

(Translated by Google) Although there is a fair distance between the cities (Yubari, Mikasa, Furano), there are parking lots here and there so you can take frequent breaks.

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful. I was able to take a long-desired walk. Boots are more suitable for walking here. There was something similar to a bear in the footprints, so it might be better to take measures against bears. There was also a lost item. Was it that day or the day before? Some foxes are familiar to you, so don't touch them. (Original) とっても綺麗でした。 念願の散策もできました。ここは、長靴の方が散策に向いてます。 足跡に熊に似てるのがあったので、熊対策は、した方がいいかも。落とし物もありました。その日か、前日にしたのかな? 人馴れしたキツネもいますので、触らないように。

(Translated by Google) I went to an event to walk around the Kashima district of Yubari City, which is sunken to the bottom of the Yubari Shuparo Dam. I arrived near the site in the afternoon, but traffic was already congested all the way to the national highway, so it took more than an hour to get through the reception desk. A lot of people came to see it. This is a period of drought, and many things that would have sunk if the water had filled up create a unique, otherworldly landscape. Listening to the stories of the staff, looking at the information boards pasted with old photos, and looking at the maps that were distributed, it becomes clear that a lot has been lost. We would like to thank all the staff who planned and managed events like this despite the hot weather and the coronavirus pandemic. (Original) 夕張シューパロダムの湖底に沈んだ夕張市鹿島地区を散策するイベントに行ってきました。お昼過ぎに現地の近くに着きましたが、既に国道まで渋滞しており、そこから受付を済ませるまでに1時間以上かかりました。大変多くの人が見学にきていました。渇水の時期であり、水か満たされていたならば沈んでいたであろうさまざま物が、異界のような独特な風景を作っています。スタッフの話を聴いたり、昔の写真を張り付けた案内板を見たり、配布されていた地図を見たりすると、ずいぶんと多くのものが喪われてしまったことがわかります。暑い中、コロナ禍にも関わらず、このようなイベントを企画・運営していただいたスタッフの皆様に感謝いたします。

(Translated by Google) I went on July 15, 2021! As you drive on the national highway from Ashibetsu to Yubari, you can see Lake Shuparo on your left, and the road runs parallel to the national highway for quite a long distance. There are also a few parking spaces available. We recommend turning left and taking the bridge towards Mt. Yubari! From here, you can see the old road sinking into the lake! (Original) 2021.7/15に行きました! 芦別から夕張に向かう国道を運転していると左側にシューパロ湖が見えて、結構長い距離を国道と並走します。駐車スペースもチラホラあります。オススメは左折して夕張岳に向かう橋です!ここから湖に沈んで行く旧道が見えました!

(Translated by Google) It's a quiet, calm and beautiful dam lake located a little deep in the mountains from Yubari city, and if you're lucky, you might be able to see some of the structures that existed before it became a dam lake. I think the photos were taken in 2018 and 2017? There are a lot of trees sticking out from the surface of the lake, so it looks like Hokkaido? I feel it😌 Yesterday and the day before yesterday (1/25 and 1/26), I went again. As expected from Hokkaido, the entire lake was completely frozen and the scenery was very beautiful. (Original) 夕張市街からちょっと山奥に行った静かで落ち着いた綺麗なダム湖で、ラッキーだったらダム湖になる以前の頃の構造物が顔を出してる姿が見れるかもしれないです。写真は2018年と2017年だったかな? 湖面にたくさん木が顔を出してて何か北海道っぽい?感じがします😌 昨日と一昨日(1/25と1/26)、改めて行ってみました。さすがは北海道だけあって、湖全体完全に凍結していて、非常にキレイな風景でした。

(Translated by Google) Up to the trailhead is a forest road that looks like it's going to collapse. There are usually brown bears near the top of the mountain. Although it is a mountain with a high degree of difficulty or danger, it was a good mountain where you can feel the great nature first-hand⛰ Since I had some energy left, I climbed Mt. Furano Nishidake after descending the mountain. (Original) 登山口までは崩壊しそうな林道を、 山頂付近には普通にヒグマが、 難易度というか危険度の高い山ですが大自然を肌で感じられるいいお山でした⛰ 体力が余っていたので下山後に富良野西岳も登りました。

This year, we made our way to the top relying on cowbells and whistles and the fear of brown bears, which are often seen there. Not only the Tokachidake mountain range, but also Mt. Eniwa, Mt. Tarumae, and the mountains of Hidaka could be seen in the distance. The season was already autumn and the gentians were a beautiful purple color.

(Translated by Google) 100 Famous Flower Mountains with amazing flowers, scenery, and varied routes. As a day-climb, you have to walk quite a distance, but after the middle of the mountain the wetland area is gentle and full of flowers, making it fun, so I was able to reach the summit without any difficulty. The only drawback is that the approach to the trailhead is difficult. Last year and the year before last, I was unable to climb the mountain due to forest road closures and heavy rain, so I achieved my long-cherished wish for three years. (Original) 花、景色、変化に富んだルートが素晴らしい文句無しの花の100名山。 日帰り登山としてはそこそこの距離を歩かないといけないが、中盤以降の湿原地帯が緩やかな上に百花繚乱していて楽しいので、苦しさ皆無で登頂できました。登山口迄のアプローチに難があるのが玉に瑕かも。 去年、一昨年は林道の閉鎖と長雨で登れず三年越しの悲願達成。

(Translated by Google) You can reach the trailhead by off-road or by regular car. The mountain trail is about 13km round trip. It's almost flat land with a wooden path in the middle and flowers blooming, so it's soothing for both mind and body. It must have been difficult for the people who built this wooden path to transport and build it. It was an easy mountain to climb with soothing views and flowers. (Original) 登山口迄はオフロード、普通の車でも行けます。 登山道は往復13km位です。中間に木道があり花が咲くほぼ平地なので、心身ともに癒される。 この木道を作った方々運んだり作るのは大変だったでしょう。 景色、花に癒される登りやすい山でした。

(Translated by Google) A historical building in Yubari. This building is worth seeing. Although it is a registered tangible cultural property of the country, you can stay there as a lodging facility. General tours are also available for a fee. It is said that it was built in 1913 as a guest house for Hokutan, so it is a valuable wooden structure that has survived for over 100 years even in the wind and snow of Hokkaido. There are many interesting exhibits inside, and you can also see the room where His Majesty the Emperor stayed, so if you like retro and Showa era scents, this is a place you should definitely visit. (Original) 夕張の歴史的建造物。この建物には一見の価値があります。国の登録有形文化財ですが宿泊施設として泊まることができます。また、一般の見学も有料ですが可能です。1913年に北炭の迎賓館として建築されたそうですから、北海道の風雪のなかでも、木造建築で100年以上現存している貴重な建物です。中の展示物についても色々と面白いものが揃っていますし、天皇陛下が泊まられた部屋も見学できますので、レトロや昭和の香りが好きな方にはぜひ訪れて頂きたい場所です。

(Translated by Google) Built as the former Hokutan Shikanotani Club, it has been designated as a national tangible cultural property, modern industrial heritage, and Hokkaido heritage. The luxurious architectural design is a sight to behold, as it remembers the prosperity of the coal mines and the fact that Emperor Showa stayed here. I think this is a valuable tourist spot in Yubari, where there are not many sightseeing spots. If the museum is reserved for an event, you won't be able to tour it, but it's not advertised on the website, so I don't think it's a good idea to go there and then suddenly it's closed. We recommend calling to confirm whether a tour is possible. (Original) 旧北炭鹿ノ谷倶楽部として建てられ、国の有形文化財、近代化産業遺産、北海道遺産に指定されています。炭鉱の繁栄がしのばれ、昭和天皇がご宿泊されたのもうなづける豪華な建築意匠は、なかなかの見応えです。観光で見るところが乏しい夕張では貴重な観光スポットと思います。 イベントで貸し切りになっていると見学できませんが、ホームページで周知されていないので、行っていきなり閉館というのはどうかと思います。電話で見学可能か確認をお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) While driving, I saw an information board for ``Yubari Rokumeikan'' and timidly (?) stopped by, thinking, ``Rokumeikan in Yubari?'' It was August 2018. Originally it seemed like a facility where you could stay overnight, At this time, I was only able to view the exhibition (500 yen). (However, some parts are under renovation and cannot be viewed) As I walked around, I thought it was a facility where Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress also stayed. It was a facility that reminded us of the golden age of coal mining. When I finished watching and returned to the entrance, a Westerner (self-proclaimed Azerbaijani) in a black suit was standing there and said, ``This is the owner. How was it?'' He also said that he was currently visiting four locations, so now that I think about it, he is probably the former president of Oyubari Resort. I think so, but I don't know the details. (^_^;) There are also rectangular slippers placed at the entrance. “Please try them on!” I strongly recommended. ``I tried wearing them at first because they were unusual, but they felt hard to walk in, so I decided to wear regular ones,'' she said. He looked disappointed. I panicked and followed up by saying, ``Ah, but wouldn't it be good to have both?'' "That's right!" He seemed to have regained some energy. The slippers looked like small tatami mats, so I think they were a Western idea. I thought he might have been the one who came up with it, but I don't know the details. I was told that they were going to be renovating the building as I would soon be starting to stay in only 3 rooms, but since it was a valuable building, they said they would keep the exterior as it was as much as possible. (^o^) They said it would be a members-only accommodation facility, so I don't think it will be a facility where anyone can easily stay. It was raining lightly that day, but He showed up without an umbrella to see him off, He saw me off until the end as I struggled to use the car navigation system and was unable to start my car. (^_^) (Original) 車で移動中に「夕張鹿鳴館」の案内板を見掛け、「夕張に鹿鳴館?」と思いながら恐る恐る(?)立ち寄りました。 2018年8月のことです。 本来は宿泊も出来る施設のようでしたが、 この時は展示の観覧(500円)だけ出来ました。(ただし一部は改装中のため観覧不可) 天皇皇后両陛下も泊まられた施設なんだと思いながら周りました。 炭鉱黄金時代を偲べる施設でした。 見終わって玄関に戻った時、黒のスーツ姿の西洋人(自称アゼルバイジャン人)が立っており「オーナーです。如何でしたか?」と声を掛けて来ました。 「今、4ヶ所廻ってる途中」とも言ってたので、今にして思うと「元大夕張リゾート」の社長さん?とも思いますが、詳細は分かりません。(^_^;) 玄関には長方形のスリッパも置かれてあり 「どうぞ履いてみて下さい!」と強く薦めてきました。 「珍しいから最初履いてみたけど、歩きづらい感じがしたので普通のにした」と言うと、 がっかりした様子でした。 慌てて「あっ、でも両方置いてあって良いんじゃないですか?」とフォローすると、 「そうですよね!」と少し元気を取り戻した様子でした。 小さな畳とも言えるようなスリッパだったので、西洋人の発想とも思えます。 彼が発案者なのかもしれないとも思いましたが詳細は分かりません。 まもなく3部屋だけ宿泊も始めるので改装中とのことでしたが、貴重な建物なので外観は可能な限りそのままにすると言ってました。 (^o^) 会員制の宿泊施設にすると言ってたので、 誰でも気軽に泊まれる施設にはならないと思われます。 当日は小雨が降ってましたが、 見送りに傘も差さず表に出て、 カーナビの操作にもたついてなかなか発車しない私の車を最後まで見送ってくれました。 (^_^)

(Translated by Google) Before the management changed, I visited in November 2015 for a meal and a tour, but I received terrible customer service and it turned out to be a disastrous trip that I will never remember. It seems that two young women were in charge that day, but when I asked one of them if I could tour the part of the building where the walkways didn't seem to connect even though it was on the floor plan, for some reason I got a look of displeasure on their faces. The only thing they said was, ``That's a building for lodging, so...'' What's more, when I went to the waiting room, the door was slammed shut, and I could even hear people complaining about an arrogant customer coming through the door, so I was completely treated as a complaint. Why did I have to be treated like this when I was just asking a question? I was surprised that even if I was rejected, there would be something else I could say. When I later looked it up online, I found someone who said, ``I asked for a tour of the accommodation building, but they let me see it.'' Whether or not I can take a tour probably depends on the timing, but I think it is extremely unreasonable that my question was taken as a complaint. This woman also walks on the floor of a wooden building in heels making a clanging sound, and talks to customers with fixed, glaring eyes. She may be trying to be polite, but her behavior is airy. I'm not saying that it's too funny, but the behavior was completely unbelievable for someone in the hospitality industry, and when the person in question came to serve me later at the dinner table, the food in my mouth suddenly tasted bad. I did. No matter how you look at it, he didn't have the ability or hospitality to be in charge of a meal that cost over 10,000 yen per person. The next day, when I went back to see the garden, I heard a voice from the waiting room again: ``Hmm, that guest came again!?'' I have visited all over Japan and even abroad, but this is the only place at Yubari Rokumeikan where the employees have treated me with hostility and attacked me for no reason. When I heard the news about the closure and the decision to reopen, all I could think was that if they continued to serve customers like that, they would definitely go under. My mother married from Shikanotani, and I myself spent a lot of time in Yubari. It's a shame that a facility that represents Yubari employs such a strange person. Now that the management has changed, I posted this while praying that the extremely unqualified employee will not be rehired by mistake. (Original) 経営者が変わる前、2015年11月に食事と見学で訪れましたが、酷い接客を受け、思い出すのも忌まわしい散々な旅となりました。 その日は若い女性二人が担当だったようですが、建物の見取り図にあるものの通路がつながっていないように見えた部分の見学はできるかをお一方に尋ねてみると、なぜかムッとした顔をされ「そちらは宿泊用の棟ですのでえ……」とのみ。更には控室に下がる際にドアを乱暴に閉められた上、ドア越しに図々しい客が来たと文句を言う声まで聞こえ、完全なクレーマー扱いでした。 ただ質問しただけなのに、なぜこんな扱いを受けなければいけなかったのでしょう。断られるにしても、他にもっと言いようがあるだろうと驚きました。 尚のちにネットで調べたところ、「宿泊棟もダメ元で頼んでみたら見学させてもらえた」という方がおられました。見学の可否はタイミングによるのでしょうが、私の質問がクレームとして受け取られたのはやはり理不尽の極みとしか思えません。 この女性は他にも木造の建物の床をガコンガコンと音を立てながらヒールで歩いたり、客に対して始終据わった、つまり睨むような目で話したり、本人は丁寧なつもりなのでしょうが仕草が気取りすぎて滑稽だったりと、こう言ってはなんですが接客業とはとても思えない言動ばかりで、後の夕食の席で当人が給仕に来た時は口に含んでいた料理が一気にまずくなりました。どう考えても、ひとり一万以上する食事の席を担当できる能力とホスピタリティーを備えた人ではありませんでした。 また翌日、庭を見たくて再度訪れたところ、再び控室から「えーっ、あの客また来たの!?」という声が。 今まで日本全国、時には外国も訪ねてきましたが、理由もなく従業員に敵視され突っかかってこられのはこの夕張鹿鳴館だけです。 休業と再開断念のニュースを耳にした時は、そりゃあんな接客してたら潰れるに決まってるだろうよ……としか思いませんでした。 鹿ノ谷から嫁いだ母を持ち、私自身夕張では長い時間を過ごしました。その夕張を代表する施設があんなおかしな人間を雇っていたことが残念でなりません。 今は経営者が代わった由、あの不適格を極めた従業員が間違っても再雇用されていないよう祈りつつ投稿しました。

(Translated by Google) This is the inn where Emperor Showa used to relax. You can experience the essence of Japanese culture, including Showa modernism and a blend of Japanese and Western styles. It has been in decline for a while, but now a Chinese person who understands Japan is working with Mayor Suzuki to revive it, which I am grateful for. (Original) 昭和天皇がおくつろぎになったお宿です。昭和モダン、和洋折衷、日本の文化の真髄が体験できます。しばらく荒れつつありましたが、現在は、日本に理解のある中国系の方が、鈴木市長と共に再興してくださり、有難いと思います。

(Translated by Google) I was a little disappointed that the stained glass lamps on display were all low-priced ones made in Southeast Asia. However, you can also feel the splendor of the time when coal mining was flourishing. (Original) 展示されているステンドグラスランプは、東南アジア製の廉価番ばかりだったのが、ちょっと残念でした。でも、炭鉱が栄えていた当時の華さも感じます。

Yubari Shrine

Shinto shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Yubari Shrine is a significant historical shrine that gives visitors a glimpse of the thriving coal mine era. Although an ordinary car can reach the top, it's recommended to climb up the stone steps for a more authentic experience. The shrine features a grand hall of worship and offers amulets, votive tablets, and red stamps at its neighboring office. Visitors can also consult with fortune tellers here.
(Translated by Google) As you climb the long stone steps, you will see a shrine that gives you a sense of history. There was a bookshelf for the goshuin, but the wife took care of it. There aren't that many parking spaces. (Original) 長い石段を登ると歴史を感じさせるお社が現れます。御朱印は書置がありましたが、奥様が対応してくださいました。駐車スペースはそれ程ありません。

(Translated by Google) At the Coal Mining Museum, I learned that the plaque at Yubari Shrine was based on the calligraphy of the famous Marshal Togo Heihachiro, so I decided to pay a visit. It is said that the shrine was founded in 1988, but the current worship hall was rebuilt in 1923 and was renamed Yubari Shrine at that time. Coincidentally, the year 2023 will be exactly 100 years since then. I feel like this was a coincidence. Although it is a small shrine overall, it feels quite dignified, perhaps because it has withstood the harsh nature of Hokkaido. There are four deities enshrined. As is typical of Yubari, the mountain god Oyamatsumi-kami is also enshrined there, and by the way, the shrine is said to bring good fortune and financial fortune. (Original) 炭鉱博物館で夕張神社の扁額が、かの東郷平八郎元帥の書に依るものだと知ったので、お詣りに。 縁起は1988年とのことだが、現在の拝殿は1923年に再建され、その際に夕張神社と改称されたらしい。奇しくも訪れた2023年は、それから丁度100年め。中々の巡り合せを感じる。 全体にこぢんまりとした神社ではあるが、北海道の厳しい自然に耐えているせいか、結構な風格を感じる。 祭神は四柱。夕張らしく大山津見神という山の神も祭られていて、ちなみに御利益は金運招福らしい。

(Translated by Google) It was a cool shrine with a good atmosphere, and the lanterns were unnaturally broken, which was a little interesting. (Original) 雰囲気が良く割とかっこいい神社でしたし灯籠がベキっと不自然に壊れていて少し面白かった

(Translated by Google) Visited on 8/7/2023. There is a parking space for about 10 cars in front of the torii gate. The torii gate was under construction and completely covered by an enclosure, so the atmosphere was not good. Once you pass through the torii gate, you will go up some steep stairs to reach the main shrine. There was nothing worth seeing other than the main shrine, and on this day the shrine office was deserted and the entrance was locked. It may have been bad timing, but I think it would be a good idea to visit in conjunction with the Coal Museum across the street. (Original) 2023/8/7に参拝。 鳥居の手前に10台分くらいの駐車スペースがあります。鳥居は工事中で囲いにすっぽり被われており、雰囲気はイマイチでした。 鳥居を潜ると急な階段を上り、本殿に着きます。本殿以外に見るべきものは無く、この日は社務所も無人で入口にも鍵がかかっていました。 タイミングが悪かったのかもしれませんが、向かいにある石炭博物館と併せて訪問するのは良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) An ordinary car can go up to the top, but it's better to walk up the stone steps from the bottom. It's a shrine with a nice atmosphere Since the priest was absent, I received a written red stamp. (Original) 普通の車なら上まで上がれますが、下から石段で歩いて上がった方がいいでしょう 雰囲気があっていい神社です 神主さんが不在だったので書き置きの御朱印をいただいてまいりました

(Translated by Google) The shrine building has a historical feel reminiscent of the days when coal mining was flourishing. These days, I often write down my stamps, but I'm grateful that you wrote them down in your stamp book. I was very grateful to receive coffee while I was waiting. Palms together. (Original) 炭坑が盛んな頃を感じさせる歴史感じる社殿です。近頃は御朱印も書き置きが多いのですが、ここは御朱印帳に書いていただき感謝ですね。待っている間に珈琲も頂いて感激です。合掌。

(Translated by Google) When I asked for a goshuin, the chief priest talked to me about various things. I was touched by the very kind response. The website was launched in September last year (2022), so please search for it. (Original) 御朱印をお願いしたところ宮司さんが色々お話ししてくれました。とても親切な対応に心か洗われました。昨年(2022年)9月にホームページを開設したとのことなのでどうぞご検索ください。

(Translated by Google) As it is the representative shrine of Yubari City, it has a large worship hall. There is a fortune telling. At the shrine office next door, you can get amulets, votive tablets, and stamp books. (Original) 夕張市を代表する神社だけあって、大きな拝殿があります。おみくじあり。 隣の社務所では御守りや絵馬、御朱印帳が手に入ります。

(Translated by Google) The precincts had the impression that they were not kept well-cleaned. I was able to receive the goshuin stamp directly from a kind priest. (Original) 境内はやや清掃が行き届かない印象でした。御朱印は親切な神職から直書きで受領出来ました。
