[2025 Fujisawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Enoshima Shrine - Hetsunomiya (Updated May)

Visiting Enoshima Shrine was such a peaceful experience. Tucked away on Enoshima Island, the shrine feels like a quiet escape from the city. It’s dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of music and luck, and you can really feel the history and calm as you walk around the beautiful grounds. Plus, the views of the sea from here are amazing—definitely a spot worth stopping by if you’re exploring Enoshima.#travel #EnoshimaShrine #Benzaiten #TravelJapan #HiddenGem #PeacefulPlaces

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Enoshima Shrine Review 🙏🌊 Address: 2 Chome-3-8 Enoshima, Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan 📍 (About 15 minutes walk from Katase-Enoshima Station, cross the Benten Bridge) Atmosphere/Location: Enoshima Shrines are a group of three shrines (Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya) located on the beautiful Enoshima Island 🏝️. These shrines are surrounded by lush nature 🌳 and have a beautiful view of the sea of ​​Sagami Bay 🌅. The atmosphere is full of tranquility and sacredness 🙏 mixed with the atmosphere of a bustling seaside town. Climbing the stone steps to each shrine feels like stepping back in time 🏯, especially when passing through the red torii gates and stone lanterns 🏮 It’s peaceful and photogenic in the mornings and evenings 📸 but can get a bit crowded on holidays 😅 Highlights: - Three Shrines: Each shrine is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of beauty, music, and good fortune 🎶💰 - Hetsumiya: The main shrine with a beautiful worship hall and a dragon statue representing the power of the sea 🐉 - Nakatsumiya: Quieter, located near a garden with cherry trees 🌸, perfect for relaxing - Stairs and Elevators: There are traditional stone steps to climb, or you can take the elevator (Enoshima Escar) for 1,000 yen for an all-day pass Convenient for those who don't want to walk a lot 🚶♂️ - Cute amulets: A shop selling Omamori (amulets) and Ema (wishing plaques) with Benzaiten's unique designs, such as musical instruments or carps 🐟, perfect as souvenirs 🎁 Average price per person: - Shrine admission: Free 🙌 - Enoshima Escar Elevator: 1,000 yen (about 240 baht) for an all-day ticket 🚡 - Amulets/Souvenirs: 500-1,500 yen (about 120-360 baht) 🧧 - Travel from Shinjuku on the Odakyu Line to Katase-Enoshima: 650 yen (about 155 baht) 🚄 Score: 4.5/5 ⭐ Enoshima Shrines are a place that perfectly combines sacredness 🙏 with the beauty of nature 🌴 Exploring the three shrines with the sea and island views is very peaceful and impressive 😍 Perfect for those who love Japanese culture and photography 📸 I recommend coming early in the morning or on a weekday to experience the real feel. And don't forget to stop by Benzaiten to pray for luck and love! 💖 Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes because there are a lot of stairs and walkways 👟 - If you want to see cherry blossoms or red leaves 🌸🍁 April or November is a good time. - Use the Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass to save on transportation costs and get discounts at various places 🎫

#ancienttownvibes Great shine and surrounding area. Lots of walking, so wear good shoes. Lots of stairs if you walk from caves to end of shopping street. Love bell and sea candle along the path from start to finish. You could spend all day here really. But we did everything at a relaxing pace and it took us around 4-5 hours maybe. Could be done quicker for sure. Good snacks and restaurants along the way too.

Beautiful area with a lot of interesting stuff. The shrine is the first you encounter as you access the island through the bridge. From here you can climb up following the stairs or just pay a fee for the escalator. We took the stairs and it was a great experience. Overall we spent around 3 hours on the island and we got as far as we could at the entrance of the cave but we decided not to visit it as it did not seem worth it. #japantrip
