Karafuto Shrine
Russia
Karafuto Shrine (, Karafuto jinja) was a Shinto shrine in Toyohara, Karafuto Prefecture in what is now Sakhalin Oblast, Russia. The shrine was established in 1911, and its main annual festival was held on August 23. Kami enshrined here included Okunitama no kami , Ōkuninushi (as ) and Sukunabikona . It was formerly a national shrine of the first rank (, kokuhei taisha) in the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines. Following the Soviet occupation of southern Sakhalin, the shrine would continue to operate until repatriation was completed in 1949. It would later be demolished alongside other Japanese institutions and monuments. There are currently plaques marking the former location of the Karafuto Shrine, and two of the shrine's Komainu are now placed at the entrance of the Sakhalin Regional Museum.
