A star-shaped Western-style fortress built in the final years of the Edo period. Goryokaku was the site of the last stand of the Tokugawa forces and serves as a climactic location in Hakuoki.
📺 Scene from the Anime
The final arc of Hakuoki depicts the Battle of Hakodate at Goryokaku, where Hijikata Toshizo makes his last stand. The star-shaped walls and surrounding moat appear in both battle and quieter character moments.
