Photo of the day - Enoshima - A Guilty Pleasure

February 8, 2019

As someone who prides himself for being something of an expert on domestic travel here in Japan, being very fond of Enoshima feels like something of a guilty pleasure. While I can think of a dozen of places equally far from Tokyo that makes for a great day-trip on those occasions when I need an escape from Tokyo, Enoshima has turned into a place I keep coming back to.

Part of it has to do with the location I guess, getting there is fairly easy from the south side of Tokyo, where I currently live. But I also find the size and the variety very appropriate. During the short walk around the island, I can get a good dose of both cosy shopping street, make a stop at a local café, photograph lazy cats at a shrine or two AND also feel the salty breeze while strolling on a rocky coastline.

During my last visit, I also took some time exploring the surrounding areas, more specifically Inamuragasaki a few stops away on the Enoden. From there, one can get treated to this spectacular view during sunset. Enoshima is on the left in the frame.
