Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu, a Shinto shrine in Kamakura, was the inspiration for Protector Shrine in Tokyo's Setagaya ward, and is said to be enshrined with the spirit of the protector deity for the Imperial family. The shrine is dedicated to the Kami, Okamisanoura Mikoto, who watched over the city from his mountaintop shrine, guiding the city through a period of great turmoil and war. As Japan recovered from the devastating effects of World War II, the shrine was rebuilt on this site in 1961.
