Enoshima Island

This quaint little island was a great place to visit. Firstly, it was a good walk across the bridge and we became aware of the hawks that would sometimes swoop down and pluck the for out of the hands of visitors whilst they were crossing the bridge. We travelled by train to the seaside town and then walked across to the island.

Enoshima (江の島) is a small offshore island, about 4 km in circumference, at the mouth of the Katase River which flows into the Sagami Bay of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Administratively, Enoshima is part of the mainland city of Fujisawa, and is linked to the Katase section of that city by a 600-metre-long (2,000 ft) bridge. Home to some of the closest sandy beaches to Tokyo and Yokohama, the island and adjacent coastline are the hub of a local resort area.Read more
