Kanagawa-ken Fujisawa-shi - Enoshima
Enoshima is a famous tourist attraction location on a small island in Kanagawa-ken. The island is linked to the mainland with bridges.
This is an impromptu visit as I was forced to abandon part of my original itinerary due to Cyclone 17.
I have no prior information of the island, so I did not know there are that many wide life in the area, and I have not brought my longer lens with me, so the wild life is only very small in the photos.
The nearest train stations are Katase-Enoshima station of Odakyu Enoshima Line, Enoshima station of Enoshima Dentetsu, and Shounan Enoshima station of Shounan Monorail.
