Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Cherry Blossoms– Kamakura’s Samurai Sakura Sanctuary

#cherryblossom25 As the spiritual heart of Kamakura, this 1,000-year-old Shinto shrine transforms each spring into a living tapestry of pink and vermilion, where 300+ cherry trees bloom beneath the watchful gaze of Minamoto no Yoritomo’s statues. Unlike Kyoto’s crowded temples, here you’ll find samurai history and sakura in perfect harmony—with ocean breezes from nearby Yuigahama Beach softening the air.
