The main reason the first shogun moved his capital to kamakura rather than use Kyoto was to settle the Taira lands and prevent rebellion.The Kamakura period ended in 1333 AD, with the destruction of the shogunate and the short reestablishment of imperial rule, under Emperor Go-Daigo by Ashikaga Takauji, Nitta Yoshisada, and Kusunoki Masashige.
