Juuhasho Shrine

鎌倉市十二所285

3.8(86)

A district (daiji) located in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is situated at the northeastern edge of Kamakura City and borders Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City.

History

The name of the place is derived from the local tutelary deity shrine, Kumano Juuhasho Gongen-sha, which was located within the precincts of Koshu-ji Temple until the 9th year of Tenpo (1838 CE). The Shinpen Kamakura-shi (New Compilation of Kamakura Records) also records a popular theory that the name originated from the presence of twelve households. Furthermore, a document of donation by Tokugawa Ieyasu indicates that the temple lands of Kencho-ji and Tokei-ji were donated to the Juuhasho area.

What visitors say

This is a quiet shrine located in a precinct facing a cliff. There is a carved rabbit under the eaves of the main hall (honden). Many benches are installed in the precinct, making it suitable for resting. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained at the administrative office of Yakumo Shrine in Kamakura Ocho. There are old paths and mountain trails in the surrounding area, and in certain seasons, you can enjoy the autumn foliage.
