Shiryōkaku (四稜郭) (literally, "four-point fort") is a fort in the city of Hakodate in southern Hokkaidō, Japan. It was constructed in April 1869, during the Battle of Hakodate, three kilometres to the northeast of Goryōkaku by 200 soldiers of the former Tokugawa shogunate and 100 local villagers, likely under the direction of Ōtori Keisuke.
