# Enoshima and the Kamakura coast: the seaside day out

An old coastal tram, an anime crossing, an island with caves and a lighthouse, and the sea all day.

The coast is the easiest day trip from Tokyo: about an hour by train to Fujisawa or Kamakura, then the small Enoden train that runs along the sea. You stop at the Kamakura-Kokomae crossing made famous by the opening of Slam Dunk, walk across the bridge to Enoshima Island for the Sea Candle observation tower and the Iwaya sea caves, and end at the aquarium or in Yokohama at sunset. A calm day by the sea from start to finish.

## The route

- **Tokyo → Fujisawa:** about an hour on the JR Tokaido line, or the Odakyu line from Shinjuku to Katase-Enoshima.
- **Enoden:** the little green-and-cream train between Fujisawa and Kamakura, often a few meters from the waves.
- **Kamakura-Kokomae:** the railway crossing by the sea from the anime. It is a residential street: we stay on the sidewalk and keep it quick.
- **Enoshima:** the bridge to the island, the Sea Candle tower (Fuji on clear days), the Iwaya caves at the cliff’s edge and fresh seafood.
- **Back:** the New Enoshima Aquarium with its dolphin show, or Minato Mirai in Yokohama at night.

## Good to know

- **Food:** Enoshima is famous for shirasu (tiny white fish) and grilled seafood, a natural fit for a halal-conscious day.
- **Prayer:** Iheb plans a quiet stop for the prayer times.
- **Crowds:** weekends and summer are busy; a weekday morning is the calmest.
- **Stairs:** the island is steep; there are paid outdoor escalators halfway up.

## FAQ

Where is the Slam Dunk crossing?

At Kamakura-Kokomae station on the Enoden line, between Fujisawa and Kamakura. Please be quick and polite: people live there.

Is Enoshima good with kids?

Yes: the aquarium, the caves and the beach are all close to each other, and the train ride itself is fun.

Can we combine Enoshima and Yokohama?

Yes, they are on the same side of Tokyo: the coast in the day, Yokohama in the evening.
