Ryūtōsan Shrine was a Shinto shrine in Korea. It is the earliest shinto shrine in Korea[1]:139 built by workers of the local Japan House trade office in 1678.[2] 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.[3]
It is a Kotohira shrine dedicated to Ōmononushi and the protection of sailors[2]. In addition it, alongside all other nationally ranked shinto shrines in korea enshrined Amaterasu and Kunitama as a pair.[1]:139
It was originally called Kotohira shrine (金刀比羅神社), before being renamed Ryūtōzan shrine (龍頭山神社).[2]
It was destroyed after the war and its site is now Yongdusan Park
