Google Map of Goryokaku, Japan

Located in historic Hakodate,Fort Goryokaku was the first Western-style fortress built in Japan. This star-shaped fort, build originally to thwart foreign invaders, later served as the last holdout for rebel Shogunate forces against the Japanese Imperial Army. The last battle of the Japanese Civil War, the Boshin War,ended with the defeat of the Shogunate forces and and with it, the collapse of 700 prosperous years of Samurai culture. Goryokaku Fort also defended Hakodate as it was one of Japan's first international ports. Goryokaku Fort and Hakodate reserved special pages in the annals of Japanese history because they represent the transfer of power from the Samurai to the Imperial Court as well as the shift from the feudal past to its modern present
