Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.

Visit Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura, Japan. Kamakura, as the heart of the Kanto region in Japanese history, was the residence of the Shogun and the regent of the first shogunate in Japan, the Kamakura Shogunate, and later gradually evolved into the gathering center of the Japanese samurai class. Although the second shogunate, the Ashikaga Shogunate, set up its government in Kyoto, it still deliberately sent a relative to serve as the Kanto Shogun and stationed in Kamakura to control the samurai power. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, which is famous in Japanese history, enshrines the main god, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, the sixth ancestor of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. In 1063, he was invited from Ishiyama Hachimangu Shrine in Kyoto, and since then he has been regarded as the patron saint of the Japanese samurai group. The shoguns of the shogunate and the lords who guarded this place will come to worship, and the incense will continue. I first learned about this place when I was playing "Taiko Risshiden". There is a plot in the game: In 1561, during the Japanese Warring States period, the military god Uesugi Kenshin recognized Uesugi Norimasa as his adoptive father, so he raised 100,000 troops and vowed to avenge his adoptive father and attacked the Kanto overlord Hojo Ujiyasu. Hojo Ujiyasu adopted a strategy of clearing the field and defending the city, and defended the main city of Odawara Castle. Uesugi Kenshin besieged for more than a month and failed to capture it. In the end, in front of the wooden statue of Minamoto no Yoritomo in Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Uesugi Kenshin inherited the position of Kanto governor and then withdrew his troops.
