Enoshima attractions
Enoshima is blessed with the abundant beauty of nature and sea. Enoshima's many sights are concentrated on the island of Enoshima itself, in front of the beach and the modern town.
Enoshima Shrine (江島神社 Enoshima-jinja). 2-3-8 Enoshima. Best known for its rather unusual naked statue of Benzaiten (裸弁財天 hadaka Benzaiten), a Shinto deity rarely found in such a state.
The shrines at the top of Enoshima 2 chome have an all seeing turtle painted on the ceiling.
The Points located on the backside of Enoshima near the cave are a sight worth seeing. Tidal pools brim with crabs and trapped fish. The backside of Enoshima is the local fishing secret.
Lovers Bell at the park in 2 chome.
For things to see off the island, there are fireworks in summer at the beach. Every year, about 5,000 fireworks are displayed in late July or in early August. A local radio station announcer will be hosting the display. Many small booths would be lined up on the streets and you can get food and drinks on that day.
Along the beach there is also the Enoshima Aquarium (江ノ島水族館 Enoshima-suizokukan). The aquarium has a decent collection of marine life, and a dolphin show. However, you can expect the aquarium to be very crowded on hot summer days!
