Amazing Shinto Shrine with smaller shrines surrounding main one. Place for washing money too. There is a tunnel leading to the Shrine. Very well kept. Popular with tourists. Bit of a hike uphill to get here but well worth it.

Historic site where people came to pay homage and also clean their money. It's up a steep road so have good shoes on and bring a few yen bills to wash. Overall delightful and if you have a hour or so a good visit, just a km or two from Kotoku-in.

Great experience. You have to walk down quite a long road up a hill to get there. When we went it wasn’t too busy so it was actually quite relaxing, but i’m sure it probably gets busy on the weekends/during more touristy times. Good, free activity if you have some extra time during your visit.

This is hidden shrine, which is famous for washing you money with the water. The path to this shrine itself is like a hike from the kamakura station. No entry fee, to wash the money in the traditional way we need to buy candle and incense stick along with the money placing object. Then it is not necessary to wash the complete money, a part of it will do. I would definitely recommend people to eat Rice stick or dango over there, it was good. The locality is around mountain so it had a good view. The entrance is like a cake, which is different from all other shrines out there, it was a good experience

This is hidden shrine, which is famous for washing you money with the water. The path to this shrine is a bit of a hike from the kamakura station, and be prepared for the steep climb up the hill to the cave entrance. No entry fee. You can wash the money in the traditional way but will need to buy a candle and incense stick along with the money placing object. Many smaller shrines are located here to experience and some lovely tori gates after the cave entrance.

The legend says that if you wash your money here, it will double. 20-30 mins walk from Kamakura station, but if you want to double your money, it’s worth. Buy a basket and pour some water on your money, the more the better. The japan yen will dry. Not sure if this works though, because my bank account has been decreasing by thousands after praying here.

Walk around 20+mins from station. Surprisingly quite a number of tourists there even during weekday.

Be prepared to walk 25-30min from Kamakura Station and climb a steep hill up! But the place was very nice to explore abit and we did wash our money here for good luck (it is said that money washed in the shrine's spring, will double).
