In the words of [[George Bailey Sansom]], "Yoritomo was a truly great man&nbsp;… his foresight was remarkable, but so was his practical good sense in setting up machinery to match his own expanding power."<ref name="Sansom" />{{rp|334–335}}

Yoritomo's wife's family, the [[Hōjō clan|Hōjō]], took control after his death at [[Kamakura]], maintaining power over the shogunate until 1333, under the title of ''[[shikken]]'' (regent to the ''shōgun''). One of his brothers-in-law was [[Ashikaga Yoshikane]].<ref name="nussbaum56">Nussbaum, "Ashikaga Yoshikane" at {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|page=56}}</ref>

The ''[[gorintō|stone pagoda]]'' traditionally believed to be [[Tomb of Minamoto no Yoritomo|his grave]] is still maintained today, adjacent to Shirahata Shrine, a short distance from the spot believed to be the site of the so-called [[Ōkura Bakufu]], his shogunate's administrative-governmental offices.
