- Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura) - The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha situated within the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. At 11.4 meters tall, it has long been the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, only surpassed by the statue in Nara’s Todaiji Temple.
The statue was cast in 1252 and was originally housed inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were repeatedly destroyed by typhoons and a tsunami in the 14th and 15th centuries, so since the late 15th century, the Buddha has stood in the open air.
- Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine - Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is Kamakura’s most significant shrine. It was established by Minamoto Yoriyoshi in 1063 and was expanded and relocated to its current location in 1180 by Minamoto Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura government.
The shrine is dedicated to Hachiman, the patron god of the Minamoto family and samurai in general. The deified spirits of the ancient Emperor Ojin, who is identified with Hachiman, Hime-gami, and Empress Jingu, are enshrined at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
