Must see · Historic Site · Religious Site
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine remains one of Japan's most popular religious sites. The complex contains both a Hachiman shrine (blending elements of Shinto and Buddhism) and a Tendai Buddhist temple, with examples of traditional Japanese architecture. The complex once boasted a 1000-year-old ginkgo tree, destroyed in the 2010 typhoon. An old stone stairway still stands as one of the site's major features.

    Great place, but visiting on roasting hot mid-august is not a great idea
  • By Sho Numata
    A place you should visit at least once when you come to Kamakura. The view overlooked from the temple grounds is worth a visit. The lotus flowers are beautiful in July ✨
