    Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima
    Enoshima is a tied island connected to the mainland via a sandbar. Known for its picturesque scenery since ancient times, the island is also home to Enoshima-jinja Shrine and numerous other historic Shinto shrines. Sightseeing spots have continued to accrue on the island over time, including the Samuel Cocking Garden as well as a stone monument dedicated to the 1964 Olympics. The Enoshima Sea Candle lighthouse, which is lit up beautifully at night, is a more recent addition. In times past and today, Enoshima remains a popular tourist destination visited by countless travelers.

    Was looking for lunch on the way to Fujigawaguchiko and we hit this town. A seaside area with much to see and eat. A day trip for those from Tokyo seems viable but I was driving so can’t comment much...

    Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 2
    A natural cave carved out by the erosion of waves over countless years, Enoshima Cavern is actually comprised of Cavern One and Cavern Two. Decorated with tasteful lighting and filled with music, the cavern contains various displays relating to the Buddhist training the great priests Kukai and Nichiren conducted here. There is also a large, 128 meter long open area in the cavern which offers a sweeping of Sagami Bay and Izu. The cavern is a 30-minute walk from Enoshima Benten Bridge or a 10-minute ride on the Bentenmaru ferryboat.

    Nice caves, they definitely did their best to make it attractive and entertaining. Worth to visit as part of the Enoshima day pass

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

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.
