I went to Disneyland right before Christmas, but it was so crowded that they limited entry. I ended up wandering around the shopping area outside until 4 p.m. before I could finally get in. I was honestly shocked.

Hanibe Gankutsu-in
Located in the northeastern area of Komatsu City, once known for its stone production. Inside a 150-meter-long cave opened in 1951 by sculptor Yuma Togata using a repurposed former quarry, many stone Buddha statues and more are enshrined, and its striking scenes have become a hot topic on social media in Japan and abroad.
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!

Enoshima
It's a tiny island at the tip of a sandbar that juts out to sea from a long sandy beach. It is known for its superb view of the sea of Shonan and Mt. Fuji.
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
Enoshima Shrine is premier and venerable shrine on Enoshima Island known for holding events year around. Counted among Japan's three greatest Benzaiten (goddesses of wealth) shrines, it consists of three individual shrines: Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya. These shrines are said to bestow blessings for matchmaking, monetary fortune, and improvement in performing arts.
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. -
