Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
The Main Shrine, the Heart of Kamakura City
The Main Shrine, the Heart of Kamakura City Present day After the defeat of Taira no Tadatsune, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi built a branch shrine of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine (in Kyoto) near the Yuigahama seashore (where Motohachimangu Shrine is currently located). A hundred years later, when Minamoto no Yoritomo, five generations after Yoriyoshi, came to Kamakura, the shrine was moved to the current location. Yoritomo was devoted to the Hachiman deity, the tutelary god of warriors, and samurai warriors in other provinces followed his example. As a result, many Hachimangu shrines were built across Japan. After the death of Yoritomo, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine was supported by the Hojo clan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi (in the 16th-century) and the Tokugawa clan (from the 17th to 19th-centuries) were also patrons of the shrine. The ancient great gingko tree at the shrine fell in 2010, but shoots are now sprouting from its base
