⛩ A trip to Kamakura where you can experience the history of the Genji clan and the beauty of the four seasons at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, a symbol of Kamakura, is known as a shrine associated with Minamoto no Yoritomo and is a historic place that flourished as the center of samurai culture. The author visited in spring and felt a sense of spiritual cleansing as he walked along the cherry blossom-lined path leading to the vermilion-painted main hall. There are many sights to see in the precincts, such as the Genpei Pond and the Dance Hall, and the seasonal flowers are beautiful and photogenic. It is perfect for solo travelers who want to spend some quiet time, as well as couples who want to feel the romance of history. Enjoy a memorable trip along with the cityscape of Kamakura.
