He fought off the powerful Taira and his own family in the Genpei War which resulted in him building the bakufu in Kamakura. Tyler being a big fan of the Genpei War and Heian history, he had to check out this landmark.

Minamoto no Yoritomo’s grave in Kamakura Japan
This video show the grave of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who established the Kamakura Bakufu in 1192.
Япония. Могила первого сёгуна Минамо́то-но Ёрито́мо /The Grave of Minamoto Yoritomo.Kamakura.
Могила Минамо́то-но Ёрито́мо расположена недалеко к северу от главного святилища Камакуры - Цуругаока Хатимангу. Многие люди совершают визит на могилу, чтобы засвидетельствовать свое почтение самурайскому духу. Минамото Ёритомо является одной из ключевых фигур японской истории. Он основал первый из трех сёгунатов, положив начало многовековому правлению военной аристократии в Японии. Минамо́то-но Ёрито́мо (9 мая 1147г. — 9 февраля 1199 г.) — основатель сёгуната Камакура и первый его правитель (в 1192—1199) родился в Хэйан-кё, тогдашней столице Японии, известной сегодня как Киото. Он был третьим сыном Минамото-но Ёситомо, главы рода Минамото, и его старшей жены, дочери Фудзивары-но Суэнори из рода Фудзивара. Начиная с IX века, в Японии большая власть сосредоточилась в руках семьи Фудзивара, регентов при императорах. Однако, когда в семье Фудзивара не стало больше дочерей — традиционных невест для императоров, какое-то время Японией правили отстранённые ранее от власти императоры. Затем на короткое время выдвинулся род Тайра, но свергнутый им соперник — клан Минамото — объединился во главе с Минамото-но Ёритомо и захватил власть. Ёритомо взял себе титул «сэйи-тайсёгун», который означал «карающий варваров великий генерал». С 1192 года вся власть сосредоточилась в его руках. Минамото основал своё военное правительство в Камакуре, по названию, которой получил имя его сёгунат. Умелый организатор, Минамото-но Ёритомо позволял другим командовать в сражениях и убивать за него его соперников. В 1198году он неудачно упал с лошади, потерял сознание и умер в следующем году. Сыновья Ёритомо — Минамото-но Ёрииэ и Минамото-но Санэтомо — также стали сёгунами. В 1219 году династия Минамото прекратила свое существование.

Minamoto No Tametomo, The Greatest Archer Who Ever Lived
Minamoto no Tametomo served on the side of ex-emperor Sutoku during the Hogen Rebellion (July 28 - August 16, 1156), a conflict between the Sutoku and his younger brother, reigning Emperor Go-Shirakawa. Samurai Minamoto no Tametomo suggested strategy of an attack on Emperor Go-Shirakawa’s army. Unfortunately, Sutoku ignored this plan and the rebellion failed.
