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.

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...

・『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。...
