- Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Nishimikado 2
- Ruins located in Nishi Mikado, Kamakura City. These are the remnants of Jibutsudo (Hokkedo), a hall memorializing Minamoto no Yoritomo—who founded the Kamakura shogunate—and Hojo Yoshitoki—the second Hojo shikken. The hall was destroyed during the haibutsu kishaku of the Meiji period, and currently standing are the stone tower said to be the grave of Minamoto no Yoritomo, and the Nishi Mikado Shirahata Shrine. They are Nationally Designated Ruins.
Kanagawa Areas
Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
