All Reviews of Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden)

In Kamakura, what I was looking forward to most was visiting the iconic scene from Slam Dunk! I took the Enoden to Kamakurakoko-mae Station, and seeing the familiar railroad crossing and Shonan coast really felt like stepping into a scene from the manga.

Especially with the railroad tracks and ocean view beside the crossing, along with the Enoden slowly passing by, images of Shohoku High School and Hanamichi Sakuragi immediately came to mind. Although the actual location is still a little different from the anime, the youthful, passionate, and slightly nostalgic atmosphere is really strong.

This is also a must-visit place in Kamakura for many Slam Dunk fans. There were lots of visitors waiting for the train to pass and taking photos with their phones. Finding that familiar angle and taking a photo really made this Kamakura trip feel worthwhile!

The Enoden is a charming part of everyday life in Kamakura. The train travels along the coast, sometimes hugging the Shonan shoreline and sometimes weaving between homes. Outside the window are old streets, houses, utility poles, and deep blue ocean views. Nothing feels overly staged, yet everywhere you look, you can sense the daily life of Kamakura.

There are also many iconic attractions along the way, such as the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Hasedera Temple, Kamakurakokomae, Shichirigahama, and Enoshima. Each stop has its own scenery and pace. You can buy a one-day pass, take your time riding and exploring, and get off whenever you see a place you like.

I've actually been to Kamakura many times, but it keeps drawing me back again and again. The Kamakura coast in particular is just so captivating!

There’s so much scenery along the Enoden line. If you’re traveling on your own, I’d recommend getting the Enoden one-day pass too.

You can hop on and off unlimited times, and it’s the best way to really explore and check out all the classic spots.

Once you ride it, you totally get why everyone recommends it.

It's perfect for first-time visitors to Kamakura!

The route passes by many famous sightseeing spots, making it a super popular line to ride.

You can get a one-day Enoden pass and visit lots of spots along the way, like the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Kamakura High School Station, and finally Enoshima Station. You can go up the observation deck in Enoshima for amazing seaside views, try some seafood snacks, and more. Even a whole day doesn't feel like enough time for everything...
