Hakodate Gokoku Shrine
〒040-0044 北海道函館市青柳町9−23
A former designated Gokoku Shrine (National Shrine) that originated as a site for summoning the souls of those who died in the Battle of Hakodate.
History
The shrine began in 1869 when a soul-summoning ceremony was held at Omori Beach following the end of the Battle of Hakodate, leading to the construction of a soul-summoning site at the foot of Mount Hakodate. In 1939, it was renamed Hakodate Gokoku Shrine and designated as a Gokoku Shrine. After the war, it was renamed Shiomizaka Shrine out of consideration for the GHQ (General Headquarters of the Allied Forces), but it reverted to its current name in 1955.
