This shrine is one of the three major Hachimangu shrines in Japan and most important Shinto shrine in the city of Kamakura. The main shrine is accessible by four routes, but they all include stairs, making it difficult for wheelchair users to reach. Therefore, it is only possible to worship at the Mai-den hall in front of main shrine for wheelchairs users. Please see below for information in English on the shrine.
