Located 5 minutes on foot from Kamakura Station, KOTOWA Kamakura Tsurugaoka Kaikan is situated along Wakamiyaoji Street and Dankazura pathway. In spring, cherry blossoms abound in front of the hall. It is an excellent venue for compiling a travel itinerary and strolling around tourist spots such as Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine and Komachi-dori.

The path leading to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, called “dankazura,” extends approximately 500 meters from the second torii gate to the shrine itself. In 1182, Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of Japan, built the traditional street to the shrine as he prayed for the safe delivery of his wife, Masako. Cherry blossoms and azaleas are planted to the left and right, and the scenery is breathtaking during the flower season.
