A beautiful resort island and mythological site, Enoshima is a very interesting tourist destination. But even locals go there to enjoy the beauty and power of its natural surroundings and other attractions. When you visit Enoshima the first time, buy the “One Day Ticket” (Odakyu & Enoden) that includes all attractions and transportation fees. But the second time, I recommend that you just go and enjoy the island’s abundant nature. Take the back street (turn right after the second shrine gate, then walk up the slope). You will find some interesting views from the path. You can read about the island and other mythological tales here.
