Shōnan's Unmissable Coastal Gems

This collection highlights the coastal landscape of Fujisawa and Kamakura, centered on the offshore island of Enoshima. It features the Iwaya sea caves, the 19th-century Samuel Cocking botanical garden, and the landmark Sea Candle lighthouse. Spiritual sites include the ancient Ejima Shrine and Manpukuji, where samurai history was written. The area is connected by the scenic Enoshima Electric Railway and includes Katase Higashihama, a shallow sandy beach recognized among Japan’s top bathing spots.
