About this Shrine

White Mountain Shrine, located in the coastal city of Kamakura, is dedicated to the Shinto deity Susanoo-no-Mikoto and the god of the sea Hachiman. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a humble Buddhist temple before being converted to a Shinto shrine during the Edo period. The shrine's distinctive white-tiled roof and vermilion accents are reminiscent of other Kamakura temples. Visitors can explore the shrine's tranquil gardens, which feature a stunning torii gate and a serene pond.

Cultural Significance

Susanoo-no-Mikoto is said to have visited White Mountain Shrine, bringing with him the sacred 'Shinno-Kagami' (Mirror of the Heavenly Deity). The shrine also celebrates the annual 'Hachiman Matsuri' in October, honoring the god of war and the sea.
