Hōjō Tokimasa
In March 1182, Minamoto no Yoritomo, wanting his wife Masako to have a safe delivery, had this "sandō" built from Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū all the way to Yuigahama's Great "Torii". The stones and dirt necessary were personally carried by Hōjō Tokimasa and by many samurai of the Minamoto clan. The portion of the "dankazura" from the second "torii" onward was removed during the Meiji period.
