Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū
Kamakura's defining feature is Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, a Shinto shrine in the center of the city. A runs from Sagami Bay directly to the shrine. This road is known as Wakamiya Ōji, the city's main street. Built by Minamoto no Yoritomo as an imitation of Kyoto's Suzaku Ōji, Wakamiya Ōji used to be much wider, delimited on both sides by a 3 metre deep canal and flanked by pine trees.
