Koyurugijinja Shrine

On his way to Enoshima island, the warrior Sasaki Moritsuna happened to climb the hill where this shrine was located, and was so impressed with the spectacular view that he decided to enshrine a god there. That is how Koyurugi Shrine originated. The main building of the shrine was reportedly renovated when another warrior Nitta Yoshisada dedicated swords and gold when his prayers for victory over the Kamakura government were answered.
