Genji Pond (源氏池) at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura is symbolically linked to the Minamoto clan (Genji clan). The pond features three islands representing the three Minamoto family members who established the Kamakura shogunate. It is paired with Heike Pond, representing the Taira clan (Heike clan), highlighting the historical conflict between the two clans. Surrounded by cherry trees and irises, Genji Pond is particularly scenic in spring and early summer, enhancing the shrine's tranquil and picturesque ambiance. 🌸🏯💧

One of my favourite place in Japan - if you’d like to escape from the city, this is one of the best place you can visit! Only 1.5h from Tokyo (you get there with JR pass), Kamakura is a small town full of Japanese culture, temples, nature and lovely shops! This garden was so peaceful and I could feed turtles & fishes! Highly recommended place to explore!

Genji Pond is a July marvel. The stunning lotus flowers in full bloom create a mesmerizing sight. The vibrant colors and delicate petals make it a captivating experience. A must-visit spot for nature enthusiasts and a tranquil oasis in Kamakura.

43.源平池（源氏池・平家池） １１８２年（寿永元年）、源頼朝は妻政子の安産祈願のため、鶴岡八幡宮の参道「若宮大路」を造営します。 「源平池」は、「若宮大路」 とともに造営されました。 「源平池」に架けられている「太鼓橋」も、このとき造営されたといわれています。 鶴岡八幡宮の源平池は、浄土信仰に基づく「放生池」として造営されたと考えられています。

・『吾妻鏡』 １１８２年（養和２年）４月２４日条には、弦巻田と呼ばれた三町余りの耕作をやめて池にしたことが記されています。(「弦巻田」とは、(苗を渦巻きのように植える斎田のこと)。 当時の放生池は、今の源平池の約三倍の広さがあったらしい。 ・ 源頼朝は、 １１８７年（文治３年） ８月１５日 、鶴岡八幡宮で「放生会」を行っています。

「放生会」とは、仏教の殺生を禁じる思想に基づく儀式で、魚や鳥などを山野に放ち、善根（よい報いを招くもととなる行為）を施すという意味があるといいます。...
