Why you should go

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu was founded in 1063, making it a shrine with nearly 1,000 years of history.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is listed as one of Japan's Important Cultural Properties.

Know before you go

Wear comfortable shoes for the steep stone stairway to the main hall; the climb is the shrine's key approach.
Plan a short stop at the top of the stairs for city views; the main hall overlooks Kamakura.
Walk the full approach through the vermilion torii gates instead of rushing in; it's one of the shrine's signature experiences.
