Introduction
Wakamiya Oji is Kamakura's signature approach road, running straight south from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu to Yuigahama beach, about 1.8 km, lined with cherry trees and stone lanterns. Planned by Minamoto no Yoritomo as the city's 'main axis', it remains the stage for festivals and daily walks — Kamakura's 'omotesando'.
