Get in

By plane

From Narita Airport, Enoshima is reachable in as little as 2 hours if you're lucky to catch a Narita Express limited express train that travels to Ofuna station (¥4500). From Ofuna, Enoshima is 15 minutes away on the Shonan Monorail (¥300).

From Haneda Airport you will have to take at least three lines: The Keikyu Line to Yokohama, the JR Tokaido Line to Ofuna, and the Shonan Monorail to Enoshima. Costing ¥1060, this will get you to Enoshima in one hour with good connections.

By train

You can take the private Odakyu line from Shinjuku to Fujisawa (54 minutes via kaisoku-ky?k??(????)?or 66 minutes via ky?k? (??)), then change onto the rattling old Enoden (???) half-train/half-streetcar line to Enoshima. The Enoshima-Kamakura Free Pass (¥1,430) will get you a roundtrip from Shinjuku and unlimited use of the Enoden line for one day.

You also have the option of taking the Odakyu all the way to Katase-Enoshima (?????) station, however there are not too many direct trains from Shinjuku; a connection at a station such as Machida (??) or Fujisawa will be necessary.

If you have a Japan Rail Pass, you can reach Fujisawa by taking a Tokaido Line local from Tokyo (about 50 minutes) or a Shonan-Shinjuku line train from Shinjuku (about 50 minutes) at no charge, then pay the fee for the Enoden.

Get around

See

Enoshima's few sights are concentrated on the island of Enoshima itself, in front of the beach and the modern town.

• Enoshima Shrine (???? Enoshima-jinja). 2-3-8 Enoshima. Best known for its rather unusual naked statue of Benzaiten (???? hadaka Benzaiten), a Shinto deity rarely found in such a state.

You can see fireworks in summer at the beach. Every year, about 5,000 fireworks are displayed in late July or in early August. A local radio station announcer will be hosting the display. Many small booths would be lined up on the streets and you can get food and drinks on that day.

Do

Enoshima is all about sea sports, particularly surfing. The surf here isn't actually great by most standards, but it's conveniently close to Tokyo and provides an excuse to strut about with an artificial tan, bleached hair and a surfboard under your arm.

• Enoshima has a big yacht harbor. Many cruisers are docked there and many university clubs that have their boats. Recently, a sailing Olympic week was held there.

Buy

Eat

Many visitors come to Enoshima to eat seafood. One of the famous dishes is called shirasu-don. It is a small fish which is raw placed on top of a bowl of rice, with soy sauce is poured on top. The turban shell, or sazae, is also popular.

Get out

• Kamakura, at the other end of the Enoden line, is a popular temple town and easily visited on the same day trip.
