Kamakura Walking - Tsuruga-Oka Hachiman-guu Shrine
I took the bus to go to Tsuruga-Oka Hachiman-guu Shrine from Enkakuji temple. It took around 10 minutes.
When you enter the Tsuruga-Oka Hachiman-guu Shrine, you may find the white flowers of lotus in bloom in the pond of left hand side, and find the red flowers of the lotus are in bloom in the pond on the right hand side. Since it was a little bit late from the time of the bloom, we may find a little amount of flowers in blooml. They say that the color white is related to Genji, and the color red is related to Heisi. Genji and Heisi are the famous families of the solgers in Kamakura era.
