[Hatagami Benzaiten/Kanagawa Prefecture] Floating shrine and cherry blossoms on Genji Pond

Hatagami Benzaiten in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 When the Genji clan was raised, Benzaiten, the guardian deity of long-lasting family fortune, appeared, and her blessing led to the revival of the Genji clan, which is why Hatagami Benzaiten Shrine was founded in Genji Pond. Genji Pond has three islands, three for childbirth, which represents the prosperity of the Genji clan, and Heike Pond has four islands, four for death, which represents the downfall of the Heike clan! At Hatagami Benzaiten in Genji Pond, many white flags of the Genji clan are lined up, and the combination with the cherry blossoms is unique to this place! The vermilion-painted drum bridge and shrine building create a beautiful contrast. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Hatagami Benzaiten ꕥAddress: 1-8-31 Yukinoshita, Kamakura, Kanagawa ꕥAccess: 🚉 Kamakura Station → approx. 11-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrine visit #Shrines and temples #Shrine tour #Sakura spot
