Enoden Ride from Fujisawa Station to Gokurakuji Station
Since we are boarding at Fujisawa Station (the starting station), we have a better chance of securing the front-row seats right behind the driver’s cabin.
From here, you can enjoy the very best of the Enoden experience: the thrill of the train passing incredibly close to local houses and the stunning, open views of the Shonan coast. It’s a spectacular front-row perspective that truly captures the charm of this historic railway
Gokurakuji Station: Where the Story Begins
Gokurakuji Station is the backdrop where the story of Mu-hui and Ho-jin unfolds. The poignant scene of the two passing each other — both inside the Enoden train and on the station platform — serves as a beautiful foreshadowing of their journey ahead.
Opened in 1904, this charming wooden station was selected as one of the "Top 100 Stations in the Kanto Region" in 1999. Surrounded by lush mountains and greenery, its tranquil atmosphere has made it a favorite filming location for numerous films and dramas over the years.
Goryo Shrine
Goryo Shrine holds a special place in the drama as the location where Mu-jin returns the smartphone to Ho-jin. Founded in the late Heian period, this historic shrine is dedicated to the legendary warrior Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.
The most iconic feature here is the breathtaking sight of the Enoden train passing just inches away from the shrine's white stone torii gate. With trains running every 10 to 15 minutes, it is one of the best spots to capture Kamakura’s unique atmosphere. In early summer, the scene is further enhanced by blooming hydrangeas, creating a stunning "triple harmony" of the train, the gate, and the flowers.
Around Hase Level Crossing
Located just a short walk from Hase Station (near the "Tanaka Barber Shop"), this specific railroad crossing is one of the most memorable locations in the series.
This is where the two characters wander through the narrow streets in search of a restaurant. Fans will vividly remember the poignant cut where the Enoden train passes by, and as it clears the tracks, Ho-jin has mysteriously vanished from sight.
Inamuragasaki Park
Inamuragasaki Park offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Japan. This is the scenic stage where the character Ji-seon gives an amulet (omamori) to Ho-jin—a heartfelt gesture set against a stunning backdrop.
Recognized as one of the "Top 100 Historical Parks in Japan," it is famous for allowing you to capture Mt. Fuji and Enoshima in a single frame. As the sun begins to set, the silhouette of the majestic mountain emerges, and the white waves of Shichirigahama glisten below, creating a romantic atmosphere that has captivated film directors for decades.
Enoden Ride to Enoshima
From Inamuragasaki Station, we will board the Enoden for a short but beautiful 12-minute ride to Enoshima Station. This segment of the railway is famous for its "ocean view" windows, where the blue Shonan coast stretches out before you.If you like, we can also take a short walk to a scenic spot where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Enoden train passing by the ocean.
Lunch
There are many options to choose from, including restaurants with beautiful ocean views, cozy cafes, and local specialties like Shirasu (whitebait) and fresh seafood. I would be happy to suggest the best spots based on your preferences.
Katase Fishing Port & the White Lighthouse
Located near the entrance to Enoshima, Katase Fishing Port provides a peaceful escape from the main tourist paths. In the drama, this is where the two leads sit on a bench, sharing a quiet moment with the coastline and Mt. Fuji stretching out before them.
Situated at the foot of the Enoshima Bridge, this working port is where local fishing boats rest on calm waters. A walk to the white lighthouse at the end of the pier rewards you with a panoramic view of Katase Beach and the Sagami Bay. Away from the crowds, it offers a glimpse into the authentic, everyday seaside life of Shonan.
Enoshima Shrine
We will visit Enoshima Shrine, one of Japan’s most significant sacred sites dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten. This historic complex consists of three separate shrines—Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya—scattered across the beautiful island.
Beyond its fame as a popular filming location for modern dramas and anime, Enoshima is a true treasure trove of Japanese heritage. As we walk through its historic paths, I will share the island's fascinating legends and the origins of its ancient shrines. You will experience a stunning harmony between centuries-old architecture and the breathtaking blue horizons of the Shonan coast.
The "Momo-chan Ramen" Exterior (Near tenzan lab.)
The scene where Mu-hui and Ho-jin happen to enter the same ramen shop is a pivotal turning point in the story. The exterior used for the fictional "Momo-chan Ramen" is located in the area near tenzan lab. on Enoshima island.
While the blue noren (shop curtain) that Mu-hui walks through looks very much like the entrance to tenzan lab., the actual establishment is a popular Japanese sweets shop. It is widely believed that while the exterior captured the unique atmosphere of Enoshima's backstreets, the interior scenes of the ramen shop were filmed at a different location.
Since the real tenzan lab. is a sweets shop, you can enjoy traditional Japanese treats like warabi-mochi or matcha instead of ramen!
Benzaiten Nakamise-dori
We will dive into the heart of the island’s energy at Benzaiten Nakamise-dori. This vibrant, upward-sloping shopping street serves as the main approach to Enoshima Shrine and is a key filming location where the two leads, Mu-hui and Ho-jin, explore the local culture together.
The street is lined with traditional wooden buildings, souvenir shops, and tempting street food stalls. It’s the perfect place to experience the same lively atmosphere seen in the drama while discovering the unique tastes of Enoshima.
Drama Walk: Retrace the steps of the characters as they navigate the colorful crowds and historic storefronts.
Local Delicacies: Try fresh seafood skewers or Japanese traditional sweets that make this street a food lover's paradise.
Historic Charm: Admire the bronze torii gate at the entrance, which marks the transition from the bustling market to the sacred grounds of the shrine.
O-iwayamichi Street
O-iwayamichi Street is a historic path leading from the Okutsu-miya of Enoshima Shrine toward the mystical Iwaya Caves. This atmospheric lane serves as the backdrop for several key moments: the polite farewell between the leads after Mu-hui thanks Ho-jin, the "Anman" incident where Mu-hui realizes he still has Ho-jin’s phone, and their relaxed stroll before dinner, where they browse souvenir shops and enjoy matcha soft-serve ice cream.
Near Miharashitei
Perched on the cliffs near the southwestern tip of Enoshima, Miharashitei is a historic restaurant overlooking the rugged coastline of Chigogafuchi Marine Plateau. This area serves as a backdrop for the leads as they explore the deepest reaches of the island. On clear days, the vast ocean meets the majestic silhouette of Mt. Fuji, creating one of the most iconic photo spots on the island.
The Enoshima Sea Candle
The Enoshima Sea Candle, a lighthouse-observation tower standing 59.8 meters tall, is the iconic symbol of the island. In the drama, this is the location where Ho-jin visits while searching for Ji-seon, moving through the vibrant crowds toward the tower’s glowing peak.
From the glass-walled observation floor and the open-air deck above (at an elevation of 101.56 meters), you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Sagami Bay and the distant Mt. Fuji on a clear day.

Thank you very much for your kind review, Indra-san. I was also surprised by the long line at the bamboo temple today; however, seeing how the bamboo grows gave us a wonderful sense of energy. I’m so glad we could enjoy a peaceful matcha experience in such a tranquil setting. Thanks to you, I was also able to discover places connected to the friendship between Japan and your home country that I had not known before, and I truly had a wonderful time. I sincerely hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Thank you again. Yacco

We enjoyed our tour with Yacco. She was excellent. She adapted the tour to my wife’s needs. We learned a lot about early Yokohama. Guided us on their transit system. She planned a great traditional lunch in a small cafe. Especially enjoyed the visit to the Maritime Museum.

Hi Miche, Thank you so much for joining my tour—it was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you and Judy! Yokohama is a beautiful city that has grown together with its port, so it meant a lot to me to explore its history with you. Visiting the Maritime Museum together was especially memorable—it’s such a great place to learn about Yokohama’s story, and I really enjoyed it too. You even made me want to go on a cruise myself! I hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Warm regards, Yacco

Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road
Kamakura was the seat of the Bakufu (feudal government) from the 12th century to the 14th century. Many samurai warriors as well as commoners came and went. Kamakura is surrounded by mountains and they would walk across them. Unfortunately, with urbanization, almost all roads are now paved and widened. But you still can walk on the hill side. You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century.
