Once flourishing as a sacred island dedicated to the sea gods and Benzaiten, Enoshima is now one of the Shonan area’s most popular sightseeing destinations. You can reach it on foot from the nearest station by crossing Benten Bridge, and the island is packed with attractions, including historic shrines and landmarks, Enoshima’s signature local food, and gardens and cafes with a resort-like atmosphere. Here, we introduce a model course for a day trip that lets you fully enjoy the charms of Enoshima. Make the most of Enoshima’s many attractions in just one day.

Profile

I mainly write and edit articles about travel, railways, and hot springs.
I love traveling because it lets me just zone out in all kinds of places.
I keep goldfish and axolotls.
I also like carnivorous plants, but I ended up killing them.

The best place I recommend if you’re traveling to Japan

Sluice Gates: Iwabuchi Sluice Gate on the Sumida River (Kita City, Tokyo), sluice gates at Tadami Dam (Tadami, Fukushima Prefecture)
They make a great picture, including the surrounding scenery.
Lakes and Ponds: Mishaka Pond (Chino, Nagano Prefecture)
It’s a beautiful and mystical lake no matter what time of year you visit.
Stations: Komatsu Station (Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture)
Right outside the station, you’ll find an impressively huge KOMATSU heavy machine. If you’re traveling through Hokuriku, this is definitely a spot worth stopping by.
