Introduction

Koryuji is a Jodo-sect temple in Hakodate's Motomachi district, its gate and main hall a calm, solemn note among the old stone lanes. It has kept the devotional thread of a port city where Japanese, Chinese and Western faiths long mixed. The vermilion gate posts and stone steps make an easy pause on a neighbourhood walk.
