What other travelers are saying about Tsurugaoka Hachimangu
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!
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
A must-visit in Kamakura🌊 Tsurugaoka Shinto Shrine is a Symbolic importance since Lady Shizuka performed her dance for praying the rain🌧️ @ the former building in 1186! “The Opera🎭Lady Shizuka” describes that beautiful but naive young girl involved in a crucial political battlefield as “A DANCE” at that time, to end up her life eventually! What a story in Kamakura as well as in that Shrine.
Btw, I was lucky to see a wedding ceremony on Sat today, congrats to the couple🎎 n their families🌸
Huge temple with a long walkway leading up to it from the main road. The main temple is impressive, and the whole place is a lot grander in person.
There are many shrines that veer off the main walkway that seemingly nobody goes to. Most of the people who were there to see the main shrine.
The lake area is very beautiful with a large amount of birds.
Be very careful the pigeons will eat you alive.
This is fairly large shrine on top of a hill with multiple smaller temples nearby. There are a couple of vendors up front with a few alternate roads to the museums / shops. Despite hosting many tourists, it never felt particularly crowded as there was sufficient space. My favorite section was passing under the collection of torii gates towards the fox shrine beside the main temple on the top.
