Enoshima

江の島

Enoshima, Kamakura · 鎌倉

A wooded island joined to the coast by a bridge, climbing through a shrine complex to an observation tower, with sea caves on the far side reached by a cliff path.

Why it’s worth it

Do it in the right order: bridge, shrine, tower, then down the far side to the caves and the rocks at the end. Two and a half hours, and eat the whole grilled squid.
