Kamakura—Temple of Hachiman
“Kamakura is historic ground, and each shrine has its legends. The great temple of Hachiman, the God of War, remains but a fragment of its former self, the buildings standing at the head of a high stone-embanked terrace, from which a broad avenue of trees runs straight to the sea, a mile and a half away.”
