Yoko Ōji
Yoko Ōji, Wakamiya Ōji and Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū's torii
Yoko Ōji (横大路) is the name of a short street in Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan which begins in front of Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, the city's most important Shinto shrine and ends in front of Hōkai-ji.[1] It is believed to be the street that passed in front of the so-called Ōkura Bakufu, seat of first shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo's first government, which was in turn a section of the old Kanazawa Kaidō.[1]
