Goryojinja Shrine

Goryojinja Shrine

Yuigahama / Hase / Gokurakuji Area

The torii gate of Goryojinja Shrine stands right next to the Enoden Line’s railroad crossing. This shrine was originally dedicated to the ancestors of the Kanto Taira clan, but later the spirit of Kamakura Kagemasa, a Heian Period samurai known for his prowess, was enshrined here. Kagemasa was the leader of the Kamakura samurai and developed the Shonan region (south of Kamakura). At the annual festival held in September, the Menkake parade, people wear ancient masks, and Kamakura Kagura (sacred music and dance) is performed.
