It is a typical shrine as others. If you have spare time to kamakura, can spend an hour or two. Take the escar to the top.

Enoshima Shrine – Hetsunomiya is a peaceful and beautiful spot on Enoshima Island. The walk up through the vibrant shops and red gates is really fun and colorful. The shrine itself is calm with lovely traditional architecture and a nice spiritual vibe. It’s a great place to take a break and enjoy some quiet time after exploring the busy island. Easy to reach from the station, and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

It’s a beautiful shrine with a long history and lots of interesting activities if you’re familiar with the culture. They also hold many small daily events. I bought a cute dragon omamori and noticed this shrine, like others on Enoshima island, has a sigil reminiscent of the Deathly Hallows!

Beautiful area with a lot of interesting stuff. The shrine is the first you encounter as you access the island through the bridge. From here you can climb up following the stairs or just pay a fee for the escalator. We took the stairs and it was a great experience. Overall we spent around 3 hours on the island and we got as far as we could at the entrance of the cave but we decided not to visit it as it did not seem worth it. We even met a small raccoon which was a welcomed surprise!

This place is a nice temple, but the tourists are too noisy here. My trip started off with a lady cutting in front of me for the Esca tickets. I told her I was waiting and she just ignored me and walked forward to buy tickets. Not sure what the worker is there for. Then I made it up only to hear constant yelling from other tourists. It's just people trying to take photos everywhere. I tried to get some peace/quiet and went to the corner of the garden where there's a view. Ahh, nice. Then some guy with a camera thought I found something and came over and called his family over. I was done. It's more peaceful at a packed Starbucks. I wonder how bad it is at the top of the tower. If you want to come here, come either super early or really late.

Hetsunomiya (辺津宮) — the first stop on the path up Enoshima. This shrine marks the entrance before climbing toward the Sea Candle. In summer, the sun can be strong, and walking all the way up without using the escalator is quite a challenge! You can take the escalator (paid) on the left after passing the Torii , or walk up the traditional way. The path is long and steep, so be prepared — if you’re not used to walking uphill, you might feel it in your legs by the end. (…or maybe I’m just getting old 😅)

Definitely recommend visiting. Don’t take the escalators up if not in a hurry as the climb isn’t too long and it even has a few viewpoints that you might miss. Pay the 800Yen for the evening ticket if you think you might end up leaving at 5:01pm as otherwise you end up paying a thousand. Definitely go up to the non-glasses deck and try to witness the sunset even if not from the observation deck. The accompanying garden was majestic even in January.

It was awesome! There's lots to do and see, the jellyfish display was probably my favorite...but there were 2 capybara. seaturtles and a place you could touch fish if that's your kind of thing. I loved the little teddy lottery they had, I think it was whales, dolphins or otter plushies you could win. Overall, it was amazing but very very busy. Perhaps because we went during summer of what I now know is a tourist town, but it was very busy.

Our daughter loves aquariums so we’ve been to a few, in the US, Mexico, Vietnam, but this one in Enoshima was by far the prettiest. I don’t know how to describe it but each tank was spotless, all the fish and animals were well taken care of and happy, and the place was just sparkling clean, didn’t even smell like sea water, even though it sits right on the beach! Affordable parking, easy access, and just a wonderful, active day for the family. Easily spent 3hrs, could have spent an hour or longer! Plan accordingly.

Super cool aquarium! Plenty of stuff to see. Only down side is that there wasn't a lot of English translations of signs. It would have been great to be able to actually read about some of the animals. They at least had the animal names in English.

This is a very nice aquarium with a wide variety of fish and other animals to view. It's a good event to experience with a group.

A really large and beautiful aquarium with a large variety of things to look at and interact with. The surrounding area is so beautiful. It's one of the most beautiful aquariums that I have been to.

Nice aquarium! Just a bit messy to navigate through. You can buy tickets on spot as well, has a stamp near the ticket station AND! Thrashcans infront of toilets 🤣 I really liked the jellyfish exhibit

Such an amazing experience with diverse fauna and the science behind protecting our environment and how the animals are cared for. The bonus was seeing the dolphin show!

Beautiful view of the ocean and Mt. Fuji on clear days. The area is well maintained with a nice atmosphere. No long wait to enter, you go up by elevator and can walk down the stairs if you like. Definitely worth a visit.

Rather cloudy when we went but nice views of nearby buildings and beautiful sunset. Saw a tiny glimpse of Mount Fuji haha. There is a floor that has glass windows and the floor above which has an outdoor area with some seating.

I was there on a week day, please consider this when planning the visit. I assume there is significantly more demand during weekends. This tower is an absolute highlight of my Enoshima visit. I like high places, but this tower is more special. The elevator offers a good view already when bringing you up. At the top an excellent view and sitting possibilities await. One can also see the birds of prey flying around the island and follow them visually. The walk down was also a joy, but note that it is actually closed, so one needs to use the elevator to come down. In my case the door was open and since I can't read Japanese I went down the stairs only to discover a locked door at the bottom.

The Enoshima Sea Candle is a must-visit if you’re in the area — especially at night. The illuminated tower becomes the centerpiece of a stunning light show that feels both peaceful and surreal. The view from the top offers a sweeping 360-degree panorama of the coastline, and on clear days you can even spot Mt. Fuji in the distance. Do note that access to the Sea Candle itself requires a separate ticket from the main Enoshima area. It’s well worth it, though, especially if you’re timing your visit for the evening light display. The wind at the top can be quite strong, so bring a jacket or dress warmly — especially in colder months. If you have extra time, make sure to stop by the Enoshima Aquarium below the island. It’s a surprisingly well-curated experience with engaging exhibits, including deep-sea creatures and jellyfish displays. Pairing the aquarium with a walk up to the Sea Candle makes for a great half-day adventure. Overall, the Sea Candle is one of those experiences that combines nature, design, and atmosphere in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

Well worth the visit , unfortunately we missed the candle show a few days back but the views were still awesome. Would recommend sunset/night

Great day trip outside of Tokyo. Worth visiting the 'Sea Candle' and everything else it has to offer such as little cafe's, shops, underground cave networks, floral gardens, etc. Came here in early October, weather was great!

Good place to see the whole view of Enoshima. I went there near sunset, and it is still good even with many clouds. Definitely better when it's sunny. You can even walk down the lighthouse using the stairs. A great challenge especially at night.👍🏻 You can have the 1 Day Enoshima Pass ticket (which includes the Sea Candle) at the Escar ticket booth. A great deal for just around 1100 Yen. Also includes the Escar service and the caves.

I think we missed the excellent night view of the garden. And there were not much flowers also this time. It is an organized nice garden with nighttime lighting.

Well worth the ticket for the garden and the sea candle. Sea candle offers fantastic views of the coast, especially if you go to the open air deck (which will be freezing in winter, so bring a coat and some heat packs) You’ll spend most of your time at the garden itself, which features fantastic viewing points of the coast, various restaurants, cafes, food stalls, and pubs. In winter there are spectacular light shows.

We went there for the lantern Festival and it was magical! The lights were amazing and although there was a lot of people we still managed to enjoy it!

A botanical garden located on Enoshima Island in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Established in 1880 by British merchant Samuel Cocking, the garden features a variety of tropical plants and seasonal flowers. Highlights include the Enoshima Sea Candle, a tall lookout tower offering panoramic views, and a restored 19th-century greenhouse housing tropical plants. It's a scenic and peaceful spot for nature lovers. 🌿🌸

I was there in the evening to take advantage of the Shonan light festival (10,000 candles) in there. I believe it runs until early November. It was really cool and nice to see. I really enjoyed my evening there. Just a reminder when you're buying tickets to enter. You'll need the same ticket to exit, so remember where you put and don't throw in the garbage after entering.

A great place to visit and definitely one of multiple excellent sights to see on Enoshima Island. It’s pretty big with a couple of cafes and nice seating to relax and take in the views. The flowers are beautiful and there are many different types. I would recommend paying the ¥1000 fee to use the escalators and it will give you access to other venues so it pays for itself.

A surprisingly timid park at first if you visit in December, but it lights up and becomes a true LED wonderland at night. I highly recommend coming around 5PM when they have the countdown for the sea candle lights starting. It's a real spectacle.

Western breakfast place if you start your day early before 10am. Simple ok place for eggs and pancake place.

Chanced upon this place after watching the sunset opposite the road. It’s a quaint little restaurant with some hawaii vibes. Can’t go wrong with anything that has eggs in them! They have some hawaiian inspired dishes too.

We went on weekday at afternoon so there is not very crowded. We ordered an egg benedict with salmon and avocado, cheese omelet and strawberry pancake as dessert. The portion is large and delicious, the roasted potatoes are also attractive and yummy. The cream of pancake tasted like fresh milk and was not greasy, the strawberries were very fresh too.

It's ok, sometimes it's just loud inside. Food is average.

Awful. Maybe too many tourists and they don’t expect any return customers. We ordered Eggs Benedict and blueberry waffle for breakfast. They offered me to choose grilled potatoes or French fries to go with the Eggs Benedict. The grilled potatoes was the saltiest and softest form of potato I had ever put in my mouth. After the first bite, I told the waiter that the flavours are not right and asked for the potatoes to be replaced. He said the flavours can’t be changed in a rough manner. The sorry was not sincere at all. So, I just finished the Eggs Benedict which tasted normal but not impressive. The blueberry waffle was another disappointment. The waffle was poured over blueberry sauce and sweetened blueberries on top when served. However, the blueberry sauce went straight into the centre of the waffle so the texture was like a shoe sole. The waiters don’t seem to pass on customer feedback to the kitchen and stayed away from our table. Even though there long queues in other branches the food is overrated. Literally just some ‘eggs n some not very nice things’.

I love eggs and when I saw this restaurant I pinned it immediately on my Maps and went there for dinner. They also have vegetarian options available, which is great! I had a vegetarian Eggs Benedict with potatoes and a vegetarian omelette with toast. The Eggs Benedict was great and so were the potatoes. Good size, well cooked, well balanced flavours. The omelette, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing as I found it pretty tasteless - too much butter, it covered all the other flavours. I also tried an Açai and Yogurt smoothie, which was amazing. Not too sweet.

This is the second Eggs n' Things I have been to and just like the one in Kyoto, this is a great spot. The food and drinks are great and they do have an English menu. I recommend any of the burgers if you aren't into breakfast foods. I had the avocado burger and it was great. The lava flow alcoholic frozen cocktail was delicious and perfect for the Summer.

Definitely not what we thought it would be. We both had pizza. It was "okay." I'd not order it again. The bottom of the crust was kind of soggy. The outer edge was good. One of the cheeses on the 4 cheese is bleu cheese. We probably should have asked what kind of cheeses were on there.

They got a little busy so they didn’t clear our table and placed the bill on the table before we ordered our after meal coffee and desserts.white chocolate macadamia nut gelato was not good the nuts are raw and not roasted. Tiramisu was fine. Chiffon cake was dense. Chocolate moose cake with raspberry sauce was ok.

Great view of the ocean, service overall was good and attentive. The salad sauce offered is something new, unique and refreshing. The pasta noodles were good as well with the toppings of the small fish complimenting the rest of the dish. Pizza was well cooked with nice crunch to the crust. Definitely recommended.

This was a great Italian restaurant located right by the water. It has plenty of seats so it’s suitable for a large group. Do be aware that it can get quite busy so you might have to wait awhile to be seated. The food was great and reasonably priced and I was very satisfied with the portion sizes. I love the atmosphere and the restaurant staff were very friendly. If you’re in the area I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely worth the wait.

Good food but a little pricey for your average person. If you don’t care about price, the quality of food is great, so munch away! The food is clearly better than your average restaurant where you pay around 1000 yen. The price for pasta and pizza is around 1600 yen per dish and you can taste the difference. They have a kids menu and the pasta is around 660 yen and the kids liked it, but maybe not enough for big eaters. The one thing is the wait was pretty long to get a seat. We came at 11:30 but had to wait until 13:00 or so to finally get seated. Also, you can park at the big parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. If you spend over 2000 yen you can park there for two hours. Great food and it is a restaurant that I think it would be great for dates or special occasions.

Visited in a regular Sunday! Maybe because it was dinner time, we had to wait 45 minutes... But after eating, I can say it was worth the wait. Staff: not super friendly but they did things quick and accurately. I never had to ask for anything twice (which sadly happens at many restaurants) Baby/kids friendly: allowed us to leave the stroller at the entrance, prepared high chair for our son (2yo). Food: great! I don't have fancy words to express it but it was great! Price: not bad. 1 drink each, 6 dishes shared with 3 people 4000 yen (40 bucks) each. Food was more than enough that towards the end... We thought we might not be able to finish them all!

Family was in from outta town and we decided to have dinner with a view. The sights did not disappoint. Had two spaghetti dishes, two pizzas and salad for six... all medium size and was satisfied.

I tried this place as it was recommended to have the freshest white bait. We tried the raw boiled and fried versions and the raw one tasted the best, the fish being soft and naturally sweet. Portions were generous and overall was good value for money

I enjoyed an Enoshima-themed Meal (¥4180) at a local seafood restaurant, featuring a Seafood Donburi, Whitebait Tempura, Chawanmushi with Whitebait, Grilled Turban Shellfish, and Miso Soup with Sea Lettuce. The Seafood Donburi was packed with fresh, umami seafood atop vinegared rice that seemed endless. The Whitebait Tempura was crispy and huge but slightly plain without the dipping sauce. The Chawanmushi was smooth and comforting, while the Grilled Turban Shellfish had juicy, chewy meat with a shoyu flavour. The Miso Soup was warm and soothing. I also tried the Whitebait Tofu (¥550), a unique, handmade tofu with a firm texture and rich taste. The portions were surprisingly large, making the meal both filling and satisfying!

A popular restaurant in Enoshima, which is famous for its whitebait kamameshi(kettle rice). Prepared for a long waiting here. It’s highly recommended to come earlier to get the waiting number.

The whitebait didnt really taste like much. The other dishes tasted mid but large portions though.

TabiEats recommended this place! We knew Enoshima was renowned for their Shirasu (white bait) and this was a great spot! There is a choice between raw and cooked Shirasu, so be sure to try both! They have set lunches, which portions are huge and affordable.

🐟 When in Enoshima, trying shirasu, or whitebait, is an absolute must! These tiny, delicate fish are a local specialty, often served fresh or boiled, and offer a unique taste of coastal Japan. We decided to try ours at Tobiccho, a well-loved spot known for its shirasu dishes, and it didn’t disappoint. The fish was prepared to perfection, with a light, fresh flavor that’s hard to describe—delicate yet full of umami, a true representation of Japanese coastal cuisine. While my wife and I savored every bite, the kids weren’t quite as thrilled—perhaps an acquired taste that they’ll come to appreciate in time! Still, it was fun for them to experience a new and traditional dish, and they loved watching the vibrant activity in the restaurant, which added to the experience. Tobiccho offers shirasu in various forms, from donburi bowls to sushi and salads, allowing you to enjoy this local delicacy in different ways. The atmosphere is lively, and the restaurant staff are friendly and helpful, making it a pleasant experience for families and food enthusiasts alike. For anyone visiting Enoshima, I highly recommend trying shirasu. It’s a unique and delicious way to connect with the region’s food culture, and Tobiccho is the perfect place to start. Even if it’s a new flavor for the family, the experience of trying such a local delicacy is one of those travel memories that stays with you.

Maybe because it’s a rainy day, there are not much people than usual. It only took me around 5mins to wait for the queue(4tables). The rice are good with a large quantity. Good restaurant

(Translated by Google) A Chinese restaurant in Nagago, Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a local chain restaurant operated and developed by Furuya Co., Ltd., which has its headquarters in the city, Kanagawa Prefecture. I visited for lunch. I ordered Sanmamen and gyoza. Sanmamen is ramen topped with a thick sauce containing lots of vegetables and pork. It is very delicious when you mix the vegetables with the thick noodles and the sauce with just the right amount of saltiness. Furuya is a local chain restaurant known as Fujisawa's soul food. I lived in Fujisawa City when I was a university student, but I had never been there at the time, so I'm glad I went this time. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 神奈川県藤沢市長後にある中華料理屋さん。同県同市内に本社を構える、（株）古久家が運営・展開するローカルチェーン店。ランチで訪問。サンマーメンと餃子を注文。サンマーメンはたくさんの野菜と豚肉が入ったあんがのったラーメン。野菜とちょうど良い塩梅のあん、太麺と絡めて食べるととても美味しいです。古久家はふじさわのソウルフードと称される、ローカルチェーン店です。大学生の時に藤沢市にすんでいましたが、当時は入ったことなかったけど今回行けてよかった。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch. I'd only been to the Furukuya at Fujisawa Station, and didn't know the menu items were different at each store. And this was the portion for lunch. I didn't know ramen came with the meal, so I ate too much. It was delicious. The clientele is on the older side. The store is spacious. A wide variety of menu items. In front of the station. (Original) ランチで訪問しました。 藤沢駅の古久家しか行ったことなかったけど、店舗でメニューの種類が違うとは知らなかった。 しかもランチでこの量。 ラーメン付くの知らなくて食べすぎました。 美味しかったです。 客層は年齢高め。 店内広い。 メニュー豊富。 駅前。

(Translated by Google) This is a Chinese restaurant that operates in and around Fujisawa City, and I went there for dinner. I ordered a dinner set (beer, fried chicken) with a stir-fried vegetable set meal and gyoza. The set meal included stir-fried vegetables, soup ramen, rice, pressed greens, almond tofu, and an optional gyoza, so it was a huge meal, but the taste of everything was satisfying. Rather than being delicious, I think it's a restaurant where you can order anything with peace of mind. (Original) 藤沢市とその周辺で展開する中華料理店ですが夕食を食べるために利用しました。 野菜炒め定食餃子付きに晩酌セット（ビール、唐揚げ）を注文しました。 定食は野菜炒め、スープラーメン、ご飯、搾菜、杏仁豆腐にオプションの餃子も付けたので凄いボリュームになりましたがどれも満足できる味でした。 美味しいというより安心して何でも注文できるお店だと思います。

(Translated by Google) The sanmamen was delicious. The price of the ramen was higher than I expected, but it's a normal price given the current situation. It also seemed like a good place to go for a quick drink. (Original) サンマーメン美味しかったです。 ラーメンの価格は思ったよりは高めでしたがご時世的には普通の価格。 ちょい飲みに使うのもよさそうな感じでした。

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established chain in southern Kanagawa Prefecture. It has become more of a chain format than it used to be, but the food is delicious and it is popular. (Original) 神奈川県南部の老舗チェーンです。昔に比べてチェーンぽいフォーマットになってきましたが食べ物はおいしくて人気があります。

I have a great experience at this nice seafood restaurant. Having the famous different kinds of local fish , they cooked in different ways and it is so very good. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the bay, the views outside the windows are just like many hanging pictures on the wall. Hope to bring my family to come next time.

It's a hidden restaurant right next to the aquarium, with great ambiance. Allows you to eat right on front of the water. Definitely feels like a higher end restaurant though the prices are still very fair.

Hidden gem near Enoshima. We came for dinner and were very impressed by the fresh ingredients, friendly staff and great view over the water. Aside from the rice bowls, it offers seasonal menu featuring fresh seafood and local products. The rice bowl, grilled fish, fish livers, and salad were all great. We were seated at the outdoor areas and enjoyed the great view. Would definitely come back if we're around Enoshima in the future.

Amazing random find on our day trip to Enoshima. So lovely the atmosphere. The food was so delicious.

It is such a nice spot. The fish is good and fresh! And their soda is really good! I love the refreshing ginger taste!

Warm, friendly service with a relaxing atmosphere and very good food.

This place usually has a long line waiting to get in, but sometimes right before the typical lunch time on a weekday, you get lucky and encounter a somewhat a short line :) On hot and sunny days, they have the sun-blocking umbrellas and water server for the guests to use while they wait in the line outside. They also have restrooms outside as well for those of us waiting. Food is not cheap, but filling and reasonable considering the location and and the menu is mostly fish... which usually says "Market price." Presentation of the food is really nice and you can make a "set" (or a rice and miso soup combo) with any of the a la carte items, so even our 7yo daughter was able to find something she can eat. Also really nice that you can order seconds for the dashi soup :)
