If you enjoy Kyoto’s slower pace, you’ll probably love this place. It’s a low-key temple, but it really leaves a lasting impression.

It’s not a traditional solemn temple. It actually feels a bit eerie, even slightly spooky. The Buddha statues in the cave and the sculptures of hell scenes are really striking!

Great for couples or friends. You don’t have to pack your schedule too tight.
Make sure you stay for sunset—the ocean view is so soothing. -

Enoshima Shrine is in such a unique spot. As you walk, you’ve got ocean views the whole way.
The climb up is a little tiring, but the scenery is totally worth it. -
