Overview
  • Enoshima is often used as the setting for movies and various other productions, and is a popular spot visited by many tourists from Japan and abroad throughout the year.
  • Eshima Shrine is famous as the god of marriage, entertainment, music, and wisdom, and there are plenty of gourmet foods and souvenirs to be had on the way there.
  • Past the shrine is the Sea Candle, the symbol of Enoshima, and the Samuel Cocking Garden that surrounds it. The history of this botanical garden began when Samuel Cocking, an Irish trader based in Yokohama, purchased the land and began landscaping. It is still a popular spot for visitors to enjoy various flowers and illuminations each season. The Sea Candle, as its name suggests, is a "lighthouse of the sea. From the top floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Enoshima Island.
