When you compare them, they look just like the real thing! You can feel the high level of reproduction. When you visit the Hokkaido Shrine, please compare them with your own eyes.
Architectural works created with love
When we spoke with the contributor, Me-chan, she told us that this Hokkaido Jingu was created by members of her team who regularly enjoy architecture in Minecraft. He is very attached to Japanese architectural styles and buildings in Hokkaido, and has also built the Raccoon Shoji Shopping Street and Asari Station in Otaru using Minecraft.

The quality of these works is so high that they could easily be mistaken for photographs, and the love for each building is palpable. We look forward to seeing what he will create next in the future.
