Enoshima Shrine is the spiritual and cultural centerpiece of Enoshima Island. Founded in 552 AD, it honors Benzaiten, the goddess of music, wealth, and wisdom. According to legend, she tamed a five-headed dragon with her divine presence, turning the island into a sacred place of peace. The shrine is made up of three separate sanctuaries—Hetsu-no-miya, Nakatsu-no-miya, and Okutsu-no-miya—each located at different elevations along a scenic mountain path. Visitors pass through vermilion torii gates, forested stairways, and tranquil courtyards filled with incense and temple bells. One unique highlight is the “money-washing spring,” where you can cleanse coins to pray for good fortune. With a mix of nature, mythology, and spiritual tradition, Enoshima Shrine offers more than a photo opportunity—it’s a meaningful stop for those seeking cultural depth and peaceful reflection amid stunning coastal views.
