Ryutosan Shrine was Shinto Shrine in Gwangju during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

The enshrined deities were Amaterasu Omikami and Kunitama Omikami .


Japan's defeat in World War II led to the shrine's abolition on November 17, 1945.[1]

Chureito Pagoda stands where Gwangju Shrine used to be.
