Stop At: Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, 2-1-31 Yukinoshita, Kamakura 248-0005 Kanagawa Prefecture

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is arguably Kamakura's most important shrine. If you’re planning on really getting in touch with the city’s rich spiritual history you can’t miss the opportunity to explore this incredibly lively but still peaceful pocket of Kamakura. The site was originally founded in 1063 by Minamoto Yoriyoshi, who was a head of Japan's Minamoto clan and is most famous for leading the Imperial forces against rebellious forces in the north, alongside his son Minamoto no Yoshiie during the 1050s. Later in 1180 the shrine was enlarged and moved to its current location by the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura government, Minamoto Yoritomo.
