Kamakura Meguri

⚔️Let's embark on a journey
through Kamakura's history!🥷

This main spot is Sasuke Inari Shrine⛩️
It's also known as "Shrine of get promotion”as it's said that Japan's first shogun”Minamoto no Yoritomo”, came here from Izu and established the shogunate in Kamakura⚔️.
It's a hidden spot.
Climbing the vermilion torii gate stairs, you will come across rows of white fox figurines, creating a mystical atmosphere that will make you want to take lots of photos📸
So, first‼︎
Let’s get away from the bustling station area and visit the “Kamakura museum of History and Culture”.
This building designed by the firm of world-renowned architect Norman Foster, is a mysterious place, surrounded by mountains and greenery, yet incorporating the latest digital technology such as projection mapping and VR, including a tower.
After that we'll visit Sasuke Inari Shrine and the tranquil Jufuku-ji Temple, founded by Hojo Masako wife of Minamoto no Yoritomo. From there, we continue further in to the quiet Kaizoji Temple. Known as the Temple of Flowers and the Temple of Water, it is home to flowers such as flowering crab apple and bush clover and a pond with beautiful of clear water. We then walk along Kamegayatsu Kiridoshi, a slope artificially carved into the mountain, towards Kita-Kamakura. This slope is so long that it is said that a turtle fell over and was unable to get up🐢😵.
For lunch, we head to a soba/udon restaurant in Kita-Kamakura.
Finally, relax at Chojuji Temple, which has a beautiful Japanese garden, while gazing out at the garden😌

鎌倉の歴史を辿る旅に出かけよう‼️
第一弾は、佐助稲荷神社。日本で初めての将軍の源頼朝が、伊豆からここへ来てこの鎌倉の土地に幕府を開いたきっかけになったという別名「出世稲荷」。山に登るように奥深い場所を歩いて行きます。隠れた穴場です。朱色の鳥居の階段を登って行くと白狐の置物がずらりと並べられており、その神秘的な雰囲気は写真を何枚も撮りたくなる場所です。
そこで、先ずは、賑わう駅周辺から離れ「鎌倉歴史文化交流館」へ。この建物は、世界的に著名な建築家ノーマン・フォスター氏の設計事務所が手がけていてやぐらなど、周りは山と緑に囲まれているのに、中ではプロジェクションマッピングやVR等、最新デジタル技術を取り入れている不思議な場所です。その後に、「佐助稲荷神社」、静粛な場所の「寿福寺」。ここは、源頼朝の妻の北条政子によって創建されたお寺です。そこから奥へ進み静かな佇まいの「海蔵寺」。花の寺、水の寺と呼ばれていてカイドウ、萩など花々と井戸があり、池には綺麗な清水が湧いています。 そして、山を人工的に切り開いた坂の亀ヶ谷切通しを歩き北鎌倉方面へ向かいます。この坂の名前は、亀がひっくり返っても起きられなかったという伝説のように長い坂です。そして、ランチは、北鎌倉のそば、うどんのお店へ入ります。
最後は、日本庭園が素敵な長寿寺で庭を眺めながらまったりとしてください。
(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)📸I will take photos for you when you come alone, so I will show you good places that look good in photos.

⚔️🏯More than 800 years, together with Kamakura.
The Kamakura period marked the birth of samurai society.
Kamakura was once the center of the country.

The hidden hiking course of the Gionyama.
It's a short, 1.5km hike that takes about 40 minutes, but it's a walk surrounded by abundant nature🪾🌿 You can enjoy the view of Yuigahama beach from the observation deck at the top of Gionyama.
Before heading here, take a 5-minute walk to visit some temples that give you a sense of Kamakura's history🥷🏯
First, there's Daigyoji Temple, where expectant mothers from all over Japan come to pray for safe childbirth.
Next is Hongakugi Temple, built by the monk Nichiren. It has been preserved in its original state. It enshrines the god Ebisu and offers five blessings: happiness, love, health, wealth, and learning.
And then there's Myohonji Temple, one of the most prestigious temples.
Built in a deep, tranquil location, surrounded by trees and flowers, it's surprising that such a place existed, even though it's so close from the station.
This is the vast temple grounds are home to the main hall and the founder's hall, but this was the residence of the family of Hiki Yoshikazu, one of the top samurai featured in the NHK TV drama "THE 13 LORDS OF THE SHOGUN”.⚔️
It is a historically moving site, as the family was wiped out in a power struggle in 1203.
After, go to the nearby Yakumo Shrine and take the Gionyama hiking trail.
We will walk while imagining the ancient appearance of the temple, including the ruins of Tosho-ji Temple and its tower, which once held more than 700 members.
Afterwards, we will proceed to Hokaiji Temple, the temple of the Hojo clan, the highest authority who held real political power.
On the way back, it is only a five-minute walk to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. It’s plan to find a place to eat lunch on the way there.

穴場的な祇園山ハイキングコース。
約1.5km約40分ほどで短いながらも豊かな自然の中を歩くことができ、祇園山山頂の見晴台からは由比ヶ浜の展望が楽しめます。
ここへ入る前に、各々が5分ほど歩いて回れる鎌倉の歴史を感じさせられるお寺を巡りましょう。
先ずは大巧寺、安産を願う妊婦の人々が、日本全国から来ています。
そして、日蓮上人が建てたお寺の本覚寺。
古いまま残されています。恵比寿神を祀ってありご利益は「福」「愛」「健」「財」「学」の5つです。そして、格式の高い寺院の一つの妙本寺。駅から近いのにこんな場所があったのーと思うほど、奥深い静粛な場所に作られ、木々、花々に囲まれた場所です。
今は、広大な境内には本堂や祖師堂がありますが、ここは、ドラマ『鎌倉殿の13人』の１人の武士のトップの比企能員という一族の屋敷です。1203年に権力闘争で戦い滅んでいった一族の歴史的に感慨深い場所になります。そしてその後は、すぐ近くの八雲神社へ進み、祇園山ハイキングコースに入ります。700名以上いた東勝寺跡とやぐらなど、昔の姿を思い浮かびながら歩いて行きます。その後、政治の実権を握っていた最高責任者の北条氏のお寺、宝戒寺に進みます。
帰りは、鶴岡八幡宮までは歩いて5分ほど。ランチは食べられる場所を探してその間に食べる予定です。
(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)📸I will take photos for you when you come alone, so I will show you good places that look good in photos.
