Enoshima
Enoshima is an island with a circumference of around 4 km and you can enjoy the popular sightseeing spots throughout a year, such as Enoshima Shrine, Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden, Enoshima Sea Candle, Dragon Bell, Chigogafuchi Marine Plateau, and Enoshima Iwaya Cave. The Enoshima Yacht Harbor was the sailing competition venue for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. The area is abundant with seafood such as shirasu, Ise Shrimp, sashimi, sazae and clams, all of which are very popular local cuisines to the tourists.When the tide is low, people flock to Chigogafuchi Abyss to take in the panoramic views of the sea and the magnificent skyline.The Chigogafuchi Rest House is a two-story building offering visitors a place to sit down and have a bite to eat before or after exploring the Iwaya Caves.Connected to the Chigogafuchi Abyss is the Sunset Reef. As the name suggests, it offers a stunning view of the sun setting into the sea. During the seasons of low tide, various marine life can be seen swimming amongst the reef, making it a popular fishing spot.The First Cavern is 152 metres long, and can be accessed by taking the left-side path where the cave splits at the entrance. When you walk further into the cavern, the cave splits again into two. Because of the extremely cold winds that sometime blow from the left-side path, it is rumored that the cave is somehow connected to Mt. Fuji, but this cannot be confirmed as it is closed to the public.On scenic Enoshima Island you can see historical temples, stroll around a botanical garden, take in the view from the lighthouse, or cool off in a cave created by the sea. In summer, the neighbouring beaches are lined with fun temporary bars.
