Goryô Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] in the Hase area of the city of [[Kamakura]], dedicated to the spirit of [[Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa|Kamakura Gongorô Kagemasa]]. Other shrines by the same name exist throughout the country, dedicated to the shrines of local ancestor spirits, and to protection from angry spirits.

The Kamakura shrine, also known as Hase Goryô Shrine, was once dedicated to the founders of five branch families of the [[Taira clan]] (Heike) - namely, the [[Nagao clan|Nagao]], [[Oniwa clan|Ôniwa]], [[Muraoka clan|Muraoka]], [[Kajiwara clan|Kajiwara]], and [[Kamakura clan|Kamakura]] families. The shrine later came to be dedicated chiefly to Kamakura Gongorô Kagemasa, who fought under [[Minamoto no Yoshiie]] in the [[Gosannen War]] of the 1080s. It is also associated with [[Fukurokuju]], one of the [[Seven Lucky Gods]], and is thus considered one of the "[[Kamakura Seven Lucky Gods]]" sites.
