  • Enoshima Ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 1-chome
    Enoshima Ohashi Bridge is a vehicle overpass connecting Enoshima with the mainland. Enoshima Ohashi has been jointly selected as one of the 100 most beautiful bridges of Kanagawa together with the adjoining pedestrian Enoshima Benten Bridge. Enoshima Ohashi Bridge was along with Enoshima Yacht Harbor for the yachting competitions held during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Normally, there is nothing but ocean under the bridge, but during low tides, the seabed becomes exposed, forming a tombolo which connects Enoshima directly to the mainland.

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
