Ōmachi Shakadō Pass Site, Historic archaeological site in Kamakura, Japan
The Ōmachi Shakadō Pass features steep terrain and natural rock formations connecting the Shakadōgayatsu area to the Ōmachi and Nagoe districts.
During the Kamakura period, the pass functioned as an alternative route to the seven main entrances, supporting local navigation and defense strategies.
Archaeological findings at the site reveal the presence of small shrines and ancient pathways, reflecting the integration of religious practices with transportation networks.
Due to safety concerns regarding falling rocks, access to the pass remains restricted, though visitors can observe the site from designated viewing areas.
The pass contains remnants of defensive structures that provided strategic vantage points for monitoring approaching forces in the mountainous terrain.
