What other travelers are saying about Tsurugaoka Hachimangu
This is a hugely popular shrine that were built by the one of the most powerful clans of the medieval period, the Minamoto. The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the patron god of the clan.
The grounds are beautiful, but there's not a lot to see. There's a very reasonably priced museum, but it's quite small and there's not much English there
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The entire walkway leading to the temple is very relaxing, and you can truly feel a sense of calm while strolling through. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed yet during my visit, but I can imagine how stunning the scenery would be when they are in full bloom.
Overall, it’s a great spot to experience the serene atmosphere and traditional beauty of Japan. Would love to come back during cherry blossom season!
One of the highlights of my Kamakura shrine was this place. The shrine area is really big as there are many smaller shrines inside the campus. There is beautiful pond inside the area surrounded by lush greenery. The main temple is very beautiful so make sure to spend a good couple of hours over here.
the temple is nice and quite spacious, on that day we happened to be able to see a traditional Japanese wedding procession and it was quite interesting, here we can also buy amulets that the Japanese believe are protective or can read fortunes. the surrounding area also has street food vendors, which I like the grilled tongue meat. delicious and I will go back there for that food again
Not only a stunning natural heaven around the beautiful architecture of the shrines, but also an actual park you can spend some relaxing times with your family or by yourself.
