More than 800 years, together with Kamakura
The Kamakura period marked the birth of samurai society.
Kamakura was once the center of the country.
At that time, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu was the spiritual center of the people as the home of Hachiman kami, guardian deity of Kamakura and the guardian deity of the samurai.
This was the starting point for the rich history and culture of Kamakura, much of which remains today, and the samurai capital flourished.
After more than 800 years as the cultural center of Kamakura, we will continue to move forward together.
