Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in the city of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture was thronged with worshipers. Visited by roughly 2.5 million visitors every year during New Year's, the shrine is the third-most popular in Kanagawa and the fifth-most visited in the Kanto region.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu was established in 1063 by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi (988-1075), and traces its origins to Yoriyoshi’s descendant, Minamoto Yoritomo (1147-1199).
It is the geographical and cultural center of Kamakura, and is one of the most popular tourist spots in the city alongside the historic Hasedera Temple and Kotoku-in Temple, where the Great Buddha is located.
