Shomyoji Temple in Funami-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido is a temple of Jodoshinshu. The principal object of worship is Amida Nyorai. The temple originates in the Amida hall, which housed the statue of Amida Nyorai, built in the nearby village of Kameda in 1644 by the priest Enryu.

At the end of the Edo period (1603-1868), when the port of Hakodate was open to international trade, the temple was used as the consulates of England and France. At the time of Hakodate War, the Shinsengumi used it as their military station. The stone monument erected in memory of Hijikata Toshizo (the deputy leader) and other Shinsengumi warriors stands at the side of a huge ginkgo tree past the Sanmon gate. In the precinct, there are also many other graves and memorial monuments of famous historic figures including a wealthy merchant Takadaya Kahei and Kono Masamichi, the founder of Hakodate. The temple is also known for the oldest epigraph stone monument “Joji-no-hi.”

As it houses precious treasures including the wooden statue carved by Enku, the present main hall is built of concrete for fire prevention.
