More Kamakura

Some places I happened upon, not knowing about them until I was there.


Yakumo-Jinja Shrine - this is a small local shrine at the top of a big hill.





National Historic Site - Remains of Tokiwa Manor of the Hojo Family






National Historical Site - Kewaizaka




Statue of Minamoto Yoritomo in Genjiyama Park




Minamoto Yoritomo was born in 1147 and died in 1199, and was the founder of the shogunate system whereby feudal lords ruled Japan for 700 years.



As I was walking back to the train station, I came across Yasaka Daijin Shrine.








After that, I went to the train station and home again.  Kamakura is a wonderful day trip.
