Insider Tip
The Enoshima Sea Candle observation tower offers the best sunset view of Mt. Fuji. The shirasu (whitebait) rice bowl is the local specialty.
JEMS Tip
We combine Enoshima with Kamakura for a full day trip and time the visit for sunset over Mt. Fuji from the island.
About
Enoshima is a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge, featuring three shrines, sea caves, a botanical garden, and panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay. Often combined with a Kamakura day trip.
