Ryūtōzan Shrine
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikitia's general notability guideline. |
Ryūtōzan Shrine was a Shinto shrine made outside of Japan by the Empire of Japan. It is no longer active. It was linked to imperialism and State Shinto rather than local support for Shintoism,[citation needed]
It is a Kotohira shrine dedicated to Ōmononushi and the protection of sailors[1].
The earliest Shinto shrine in Korea is believed to be Kotohira shrine, later simple, built in 1678, built by workers of the local Japan House trade office.[1] Such shinto may have served a purpose of expressing and maintaining a Japanese identity outside of Japan, while the Japanese and Korean people lived relatively close during this period.[2]
It was destroyed after the war and its site is now Yongdusan Park
