Visitors can sit on the vast sandy beach and look up at the fireworks in a relaxing and open setting. The underwater fireworks, nicknamed "underwater peacocks," are launched from a barge and are a spectacular sight sure to wow. The colorful lights brightly illuminate the surface of the sea.

Spots where Mt. Fuji is visible across the sea are rare even in Japan. The Enoshima area, one of those rare spots, is known for its beautiful views of Mt. Fuji where it appears quite large, especially on sunny winter days. Recommended viewpoints include Enoshima, as well as points between Katase-Enoshima Station and Enoshima; for example, Enoshima Bentenbashi Bridge, Nishihama Beach, and Kugenuma Beach. The photo shows the scenery at Katase Beach (a short walk from Odakyu Line Katase-Enoshima Station (OE 16)).
