From Kamakura Station, we’ll head to Enoshima along Route 134, one of Japan’s most beautiful coastal roads.

To your left is the expansive Pacific Ocean and Shichirigahama, a legendary surf beach loved by local surfers for its excellent waves.

To your right, you may spot the charming Enoden train, a beloved local railway that has been connecting Kamakura and Enoshima for over a century.

Most visitors travel between Kamakura and Enoshima by the Enoden train, as there is no direct bus service connecting the two. Driving this coastal route gives you a special opportunity to enjoy panoramic ocean views and experience the area from a different perspective—something many visitors miss.

Enoshima Shrine is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of music and the arts, making it a popular place for musicians and artists to pray for inspiration and success.

The shrine has a history of more than 1,400 years and consists of three separate shrine buildings located around Enoshima Island.

Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden is a beautiful botanical garden established on the site of a former garden created by Samuel Cocking, a British merchant who lived in Japan during the Meiji era. Today, visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers, ocean views, and a relaxing atmosphere in the heart of Enoshima.

From the garden, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Fuji, the coastline, and Sagami Bay on a clear day.

The Enoshima Iwaya Caves are the island’s oldest sacred site. Carved by the power of the ocean over thousands of years, these caves have long been a place of worship and are connected to the legend of the dragon and Benzaiten, the guardian deity of Enoshima.

Many people believe that Enoshima’s history began here, making these caves one of the island’s most important spiritual sites.
