After having departed from near the entrance area of the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine in two rickshaws, first we went to Kamakura Shiritsu Onari Shougakkou(/鎌倉市立御成小学校, Kamakura City-Run Onari Elementary School) near the West Exit of Kamakura Station, passing by a famous swordsmith workshop and store of hardwares, ” Masamune Son Touken Kaji Tsunahiro”(/正宗孫刀剣鍛治綱廣) that is “Masamune Kougei Bijyutsu Seisakujyo”(/正宗工芸美術製作所, Masamune Technical Art Works).

One day I went to Kamakura, one of the most popular cities among both Japanese and foreign tourists last autumn. Kamakura is home to many old and famous Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, and other historical sites for it was the seat of the Kamakura Shogunate of the Genji family during the Kamakura Period (assumed to be from 1192 to 1333).
In every New Year’s Holiday period, that area is visited by so many visitors from all over Japan and even outside of the country for Japanese customary “Hatsumoude”(初詣, the first visit to a Shinto shrine or a Buddist temple of a year). For example, more than Two million people visit The Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the biggest and most popular shrine in Kamakura on average every year, most of whom go there for hatsumoude.
