Shitodo Cave in Manazuru, Kanagawa, is a historical site where Minamoto Yoritomo sought refuge after his defeat in the Battle of Ishibashiyama. This small cave, once much larger and by the sea, is now located near Manazuru Port. Visitors can see the cave entrance and a monument dedicated to Yoritomo. It's a quick stop offering a glimpse into Japanese history, easily accessible by bus from Manazuru Station. Combine your visit with a stroll around the harbor and nearby attractions like Kifune Shrine for a complete experience. Best visited during the day as part of a walking tour of the peninsula.
