Enoshima Island in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a mysterious island an hour away from Tokyo
Enoshima Island, which is easy to reach from Tokyo, is a scenic tourist spot that has been popular since the Edo period (1603-1868).

Enoshima Island
Enoshima Island is connected to the opposite shore by a bridge, easy to cross on foot or by car. From Katase Beach, cross the Enoshima Bentenbashi Bridge, and reach Enoshima Island and Benzaiten Nakamise-dori Street lined with many restaurants and souvenir shops. After enjoying special gourmet products, such as tako senbei (octopus rice crackers), pass through the red torii gate and visit Enoshima Shrine (Hetsunomiya, Nakatsunomiya, and Okutsunomiya). Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from Enoshima Sea Candle, a lighthouse observation tower. While looking at the scenery of the beautiful ocean, stroll around Ryuren-no-Kane (Ryuren Bell of Love), Chigo-ga-Fuchi rocky beach and Enoshima Iwaya caves. It is the recommended course in which you can feel the power of history and nature.
