Enoshima

Enoshima, originally uploaded by AdrielH.

I try to visit Enoshima each time I am in Japan. It is a jewel of an island in the Kanagawa Prefecture, just over an hour away from Tokyo by train (depending on where in Tokyo you start). There is also a popular beach nearby.
Enoshima is chock full of Buddhist shrines, and hawks wheel above as you pass through the narrow, winding streets. The foot of the island is full of souvenir shops, and the back side full of sea-view restaurants.
In the center of the island is a lighthouse lookout with stunning views of the island.
