[13 people from Kamakura] Held a tour of the footsteps of Minamoto no Yoritomo at Kyukamura Tateyama

2022.04.08

Minamoto no Yoritomo is a hot topic in the NHK TV series drama “The 13 Lords of the Kamakuraden”, but there are still many places related to Minamoto no Yoritomo in Minamiboso, Chiba.
At the resort hotel “Kyukamura Tateyama” located in Tateyama City, we will hold a tour with a guide’s anecdotes of Yoritomo and historical commentary.

Oyamafudoson

Yoritomo’s main purpose is to have a strong local tribe on his side.
Among them, the most important task was to persuade “Kazusa Hirotsune,” who is said to have led 20,000 horses.

According to the theory of “Japanese Legendary Business Book Awa no Maki”
It is believed that Yoritomo, who gave up joining Hirotsune in Nagasa-gun (Kamogawa), visited Oyamafudoson and prayed for the surrender of the samurai in the neighborhood, including Hirotsune, and then headed to Kazusanokuni.
The dragon on the front is the work of the master craftsman “Nami no Ihachi”, who is said to be “the best in the world if you carve waves”.

Sunosaki Shrine

After arriving at Awa, Yoritomo visits Sunosaki Shrine and prays for victory and the revival of Genji.
When he achieved his goal, he dedicated a request to donate the territory of Edo Kanda.

After that, he succeeded in gathering cooperation from the local lord Tsunetane Chiba.
He brilliantly revives, destroys the Heike, and establishes the Kamakura Shogunate.
In addition, it seems that he had a lot of faith, such as Yoritomo’s wife, Masako Hojo, praying for a safe delivery.

Ryushima Coast, where Minamoto no Yoritomo is said to have landed, boarded a ship from Cape Manazuru (Manazuru Town, Kanagawa), crossed Sagami Bay, and arrived at Ryushima, Kyonan Town.
(In “Gikeiki”, there is a theory that it landed in Sunosaki, Tateyama)
