Fujisawa
Static map displayed.
Enoshima is a small wooded island off the coast of Fujisawa, joined to the mainland by a bridge. I spent the afternoon of September 11, 2024, there, after a morning at Hase-dera in Kamakura. At the top of the island, I went up the Enoshima Sea Candle, a lighthouse and observation tower, for the view back along the coast, and walked through the Samuel Cocking Garden around it, where a Chinese pavilion honors Fujisawa’s sister city of Kunming. The street back down to the bridge is lined with food stalls, and with the line outside Asahi Honten for tako senbei, whole octopus pressed flat into a cracker.
