    Enoshima is a beautiful and lively destination, but it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends and holidays. I highly recommend renting a bicycle and riding from Katase-Enoshima Station—it’s a very pleasant and refreshing experience.However, please be aware that the slopes on the island are quite steep, so some areas may be challenging to cycle or walk up. The streets are lined with many interesting and bustling shops, adding to the fun and energetic atmosphe

    Free admission to the island is a major drawcard. The marine animal show is worth seeing. The price is excellent, making it a worthwhile visit. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit if you're bringing kids.

    Kamakurakōkō-Mae Station is a charming seaside stop on the Enoshima Electric Railway, famous for its breathtaking ocean views. The moment you step off the train, the sound of waves and fresh sea breeze create a calming atmosphere. It’s especially popular with fans of the anime Slam Dunk, as the nearby railway crossing is an iconic scene. The station itself is small and simple, but its surroundings make it unforgettable. Perfect for photography, a peaceful walk, or just soaking in coastal scenery, this station offers a unique blend of nostalgia and natural beauty that makes every visit worthwhile.

    Kamakura is home to dozens of temples, making it a Buddhist capital. The most famous of these is Kotoku-in Temple, home to the renowned Great Buddha of Kamakura. Get off at Hase Station and walk about ten minutes to reach Kotoku-in Temple. Entrance fee: 200 yen. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the Great Buddha of Kamakura. A National Treasure of Japan, it's a major tourist attraction in Kamakura, attracting a constant stream of visitors year-round. Including its pedestal, the statue stands 13.35 meters tall. Made of bronze, it's centuries old. Circling the statue, you'll find a small door that allows you to enter and observe its inner workings. The Great Buddha of Kamakura was originally housed in the Great Buddha Hall, but it became an open-air statue after the hall collapsed due to typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Furthermore, when it was first built, it was covered in gold leaf, though only a small amount remains today.

    The Enoshima area has a wide variety of amusement and sightseeing facilities that are dizzying to the eyes. Every summer, Enoshima is always flooded with tourists who come to the beach to play in the water. In addition, Enoshima also has an aquarium worth visiting, natural caves that ignite people's adventurous spirit, and a variety of leisure and entertainment facilities. On the other hand, the historic town of Kamakura still has many temples and shrines. The Enoshima-Kamakura Pass is a great value ticket that covers both of these attractions, allowing travelers to travel between the two places freely.

    It was an amazing place in Shin-Yokohama.I don’t know the exact Showa Period but it was totally the same as my image.You can eat various Ramen if you want there!!There are also mini-size of Ramen so you can eat two or three types of Ramen and compare them.However, you only can use 'cash' there except when you buy some souvenirs at the shop.
