Goryokaku Fort and Park

Goryokaku is a star fort in the city of Hakodate in southern Hokkaido built in 1857. It was the main fortress of the short-lived Republic of Ezo. Shaped like a five-pointed star, it allowed for greater numbers of gun emplacements on its walls than a traditional Japanese fortress, and reduced the number of "blind spots" where a cannon could not fire. In designing Goryokaku, it was adopted elements of the designs of the French architect Vauban, who developed fortresses responding to the spread of the use of cannon in warfare. Goryokaku is famous as the site of the last battle of the Boshin War. In 1869, Goryokaku fell to the new army of Japan, and much of it was reduced to ruin. Today, Goryokaku is a park. It has been declared a Special Historical Site and is home to the Hakodate city museum. The grounds are a favorite spot for hanami.
