Step into a piece of Kamakura's dramatic history at Kamakuragu, a shrine with a powerful story. It was built on the very spot where Prince Morinaga was tragically imprisoned, and you can still feel the weight of his story, especially near the cave where he was held. For a unique experience, you can participate in a local ritual by purchasing a small ceramic disc, whispering your troubles into it, and smashing it against a rock to cast them away. It's a serene yet profound place, especially beautiful when the autumn maples are in full color.
