Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the spiritual heart of Kamakura, is a symbol of the city’s rich samurai heritage. Founded in 1063 by Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, the shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the protector deity of the samurai. Revered by generations of warriors, including the powerful Minamoto and Hojo clans, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu became the centre of both spiritual and political life in medieval Japan. The impressive approach to the shrine is lined with towering torii gates, leading visitors through a serene, expansive grounds adorned with ponds, cherry blossoms, and ancient trees. The main hall, or honden, sits at the top of a grand staircase, offering not only a breathtaking view but also a sense of connection to the past. This sacred site, still an active place of worship today, embodies the enduring spirit of the samurai and remains a must-visit for those wishing to understand Kamakura’s historical significance.
