Kōryū-ji, Buddhist temple in Funami-cho, Hakodate, Japan
Located at the foot of Mount Hakodate near the fishing port, Koryu-ji Temple features a main gate adorned with carved lions and dragons.
Founded in 1633 by Banshitsu-Horyu, the fourth chief priest of Hogen-ji in Matsumae, the temple moved to its current location in 1879.
The temple houses the Kaizan-do hall where 500 Rakan statues and successive chief priests are honored, along with the Konpira-do dedicated to fishing deities.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a tram to Hakodate Dock-mae station and walking for 10 minutes, with opening hours from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The Shorou bell of Koryu-ji rings twice daily, marking the morning and evening hours across the port area of Hakodate city.
