Kamakura's Sacred Sites

Kamakura serves as the spiritual heart of Kanagawa Prefecture, housing some of Japan’s most significant Zen Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. This collection features Kenchō-ji and Engaku-ji, the top-ranked of the city's Five Great Zen Temples, alongside the historic Tsurugaoka Hachimangū. Visitors can explore unique sites like Zeniarai Benzaiten, where tradition involves washing money for good fortune, and the ancient Amanawa Shinmei Shrine, dating back to 710. From the hillside views at Hase-dera to the secluded red torii gates of Sasuke Inari, these sites represent centuries of Japanese religious architecture and history.
