Take a leisurely day trip on the Enoshima Electric Railway! A great value one-day train ticket, "Noriorikun"

I spent a summer day touring must-see spots on the Enoshima Electric Railway, which stops at every station. For just 800 yen (400 yen for children), I got a convenient and economical one-day pass called "Noriori-kun" that allows unlimited rides on the Enoshima Electric Railway for one day, and set off. A beautiful view awaited me at the finish line.
Enjoy until the end!

First, purchase a one-day Enoshima Electric Railway ticket, "Noriorikun," from the ticket machine at the west exit of Kamakura Station!

Before boarding the Enoshima Electric Railway, we went around to the east exit and strolled down Komachi-dori, a street bustling with tourists. There are many souvenir shops and food stalls, making it a fun place to just stroll around. Since we were in Kamakura this time, we first headed for the Great Buddha Yaki.

After walking down Komachi-dori for about 10 minutes, I came across Kamakura Tomoya, a Japanese sweets and confectionery shop with a blue curtain on my right. They also sell shaved ice and ice cream, and since it was a beautiful sunny day, it was quite busy. The service was very fast, and I was able to order in no time and get my Daibutsu-sama Yaki and warabi mochi brown sugar soft serve ice cream.

Daibutsu-sama Yaki comes in six flavors. It is said to bring good fortune, and is said to improve health, popularity, money, beauty, career, and love. This time, I bought the thick-cut bacon and cheese flavor, which is said to improve career luck. I ate it, hoping for an improvement in my career luck!

Return to Kamakura Station and finally board the Enoshima Electric Railway!
First, Hase Station.
From here, we will walk to Kamakura's tourist spots.

First, head to the Great Buddha, a symbol of Kamakura!
The principal image of Kotoku-in Temple, the bronze seated statue of Amida Nyorai, a national treasure, is very famous as the Great Buddha of Kamakura. At 13.35 meters tall, it is large and impressive, but its gentle face is also very comforting.

Next, we head to Hasedera Temple, which is a five-minute walk from the Great Buddha of Kamakura and Kotoku-in Temple.
Once inside, you'll find a beautiful and peaceful Japanese garden. Hasedera is also known as the "Temple of Flowers," and you can see many seasonal flowers throughout the year. In particular, around June, hydrangeas bloom in abundance, making it a popular spot where many people visit even in the rain to catch a glimpse of the beautiful hydrangeas.

As you stroll through the temple grounds, you'll discover many things. First of all, there are the Jizo statues of good relationships. There are three Jizo statues in a triplet in the temple grounds. They're so cute, you'll want to take pictures.

We also discovered a large, dimly lit cave where Benzaiten and her attendant gods, known as the Sixteen Children, are lined up.

From the observation deck, you can get a panoramic view of the Kamakura cityscape, Yuigahama Beach, and Zaimokuza Beach.

I'm getting hungry, so it's lunch time!
THE ORGANIC & HEMP STYLE CAFE & BAR Asakokoro is a cafe located right in front of the sea. The restaurant specializes in dishes made with hemp seeds. The ocean can be seen from the large windows, making it a very comfortable place.

This time, we had a very healthy and delicious meal, including the fish of the day, fried salmon, hemp charcoal rice, and whitebait with hemp seeds. It also came with a number of side dishes, so it was a great deal, and I was surprised at how delicious everything was!

It was really delicious. Thank you for the meal!

The journey continues.

With our stomachs full, we got back on the Enoshima Electric Railway and headed to Inamuragasaki Station.
Walk along the coast towards Inagasaki Park, about 7 minutes from the station.

The view from the park is amazing, and on clear days you can even see Mount Fuji.
There is a large, well-maintained lawn, making it a great place to take a relaxing break.

I got back on the Enoshima Electric Railway and headed for Koshigoe Station.
The view from the Enoshima Electric Railway window as it passes near Shichirigahama Station is a must-see. Don't miss it when you get on!
The Enoshima Electric Railway runs along the coast, through residential areas, and on residential roads, and offers a different way to enjoy it than other trains.
While enjoying the scenery, we arrived at Koshigoe Station in no time.
We will travel to Koshigoe Fishing Port.

At the direct sales store at Koshigoe Fishing Port, you can try local fish caught on the day.
You can see Enoshima in the distance and it's a very peaceful and relaxing place.

Pass Enoshima Station and head to the next station, Shonan Kaigan Koen Station.
Here, we recommend a stylish and delicious shop where you can also use the "Noriori-kun" perks: "Goodman Coffee," a coffee stand just 30 seconds on foot from the station.

It was a very hot day with the sun shining brightly, so we had to take frequent breaks. This restaurant is a member of the "Noriori-kun" special benefits facility, so if you show your ticket when ordering, you can get 10% off!

This time I ordered an American hazelnut iced coffee and a hot cafe latte. Even in the heat, the creamy hot cafe latte was irresistibly delicious!

In addition to takeout, you can also purchase carefully selected coffee beans to take home. The shop was very busy, with people enjoying coffee on the terrace or stopping by to get takeout.
Very delicious coffee, thank you for the treat!

Finally, I arrived at Fujisawa Station, the last stop on the "Noriori-kun" train. But I wanted to enjoy it a little more. I had seen Enoshima many times from afar. I finally wanted to go ashore, so I went back one stop to Enoshima Station.
Get off at Enoshima Station, cross Benten Bridge, and walk for about 20 minutes to reach the island.

After passing through Nakamise Street and walking further, I purchased the "Enoshima Observatory Lighthouse Set Ticket (Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden + Enoshima Sea Candle + Enoshima Escar)" (800 yen for adults, 400 yen for children) which included a ticket for the Enoshima Escar. After changing rides on the Enoshima Escar three times, I came across Enoshima Shrine.

At Hetsumiya Shrine, there was a ritual called "Chinowa Kugyo" (passing through a straw circle). It seems that passing through this can purify the mind and body. There is a proper way to pass through the straw circle, and there are detailed instructions written on the wall, so even if you don't know how, it's no problem.

As we walked through the beautiful garden, we came across our destination, the Enoshima Sea Candle (lighthouse observation tower).

You can take an elevator to the top floor of Enoshima Sea Candle. The top deck has no glass windows, so you can feel the breeze blowing in from the Shonan sea and enjoy a 360-degree view of the Shonan area, making it the perfect place to end your trip.

Wanting to enjoy the view even more, we decided to go down the stairs (you can also take the elevator). We then headed to "THE SUNSET TERRACE" inside Enoshima Sea Candle. The interior was lined with sofa seats, and with a spectacular view, it was a comfortable place to relax. We sipped our colorful drinks and leisurely waited for the sun to go down.

Enoshima Sea Candle also offers special benefits from "Noriori-kun." By presenting your ticket, you can get discounts on "Enoshima Sea Candle" (usually 500 yen for adults and 250 yen for children, but 50 yen off for adults and 20 yen off for children) and "Enoshima Escar" (usually 360 yen for adults and 180 yen for children, but 140 yen off for adults and 70 yen off for children).
