Overview
The town of Kamakura was laid out from this shrine outwards. Wakamiya Oji runs dead straight from the main hall to the sea. The shrine was placed first and the city built to match it, the reverse of Kamigamo and Shimogamo in Kyoto, which were there before the capital. Its deity came from Usa Jingu, and it was here that Hachiman belief spread through the east as the faith of the warrior class.
