About
History
Sasuke Inari Jinja is a mystical Inari shrine nestled in a hidden village of Kamakura. When Minamoto no Yoritomo raised his army, he encountered an old man at this location who gave him an oracle saying "I will help the assistant lord (Suke dono)," from which the name "Sasuke" is said to derive. The countless vermillion torii gates that line the approach path, surrounded by bamboo groves, are magnificent and worthy of the solemn gateway to the sacred domain. It is known for its divine virtue of success and prosperity, drawing many people to worship during life's turning points.

Tips
鎌倉駅西口から徒歩約20分です。銭洗弁財天方面へ向かい、途中の山道を上ると到着します。石段が急なため、歩きやすい靴の着用をお勧めします。
休日の午前中、特に10時から11時は参拝者が多い傾向です。比較的空いている時間帯は平日午前や夕方16時以降となっています。
