Enoshima Island

Only a short train ride west of Kamakura, Enoshima is a pleasantly touristy island just off the coast but connected by bridge with the mainland. The island offers a variety of attractions, including a shrine, park, observation tower and caves. Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed on days with good visibility. Visitors to Enoshima should consider purchasing the Enopass, a combination ticket that includes admission to the island's main attractions (garden, observation tower, caves) and use of the escalators for 1000 yen. The pass also provides discounts on admission to other attractions as well as on purchases at selected shops and restaurants. The Enopass can be purchased at tourist information desks and the escalator ticket office. For 1990 yen, a special version of the pass, which also includes a round trip between Tokyo and Enoshima by Odakyu Railway, is available at the Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center in Shinjuku.
