Enoshima

江の島

👀 SEE

A small island off the Kanagawa coast, 45 min from Shibuya by train (the Odakyu line), connected by the Benten-bashi bridge. Small Kyoto-by-the-sea vibe — a bronze torii gate, an uphill shopping street of grilled seafood stalls and rice cracker presses, a shrine, caves, surf beaches. Take the Enoden scenic railway for the ride itself.

💡 Local tips
  • Ride the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) — the vintage train threading coastal houses is part of the experience.
  • The stairs are relentless — the 'Eskar' paid escalator is available if your knees are done.
