Shirahata-jinja

The white shrine buildings stand among ancient stone structures, with traditional torii gates marking the sacred entrance to the religious complex.

The shrine holds deep connections to Minamoto Yoritomo and Minamoto Sanetomo, who served as influential shoguns during the Kamakura period from 1185.

Throughout the year, local residents gather at Shirahata-jinja to participate in traditional Shinto ceremonies and maintain spiritual connections.

The shrine grounds remain open daily without admission fees, allowing visitors to explore both the religious structures and archaeological remnants.

The site combines two distinct elements: an active Shinto shrine and the archaeological remains of the Kamakura period Hokkedo structure.
