Take a leisurely day trip on the "Enoden"! A great value one-day pass "Noriorikun" for your train trip

“江ノ電”に乗ってぶら〜り日帰り!お得な1日乗車券『のりおりくん』の鉄道旅

I enjoyed a summer day touring the must-see spots on the local "Enoden" train. For only 800 yen (400 yen for children), I got a convenient and economical one-day pass called "Noriori-kun" that allows unlimited use of the Enoden for one day, and set off. A beautiful view awaited me at the finish line.
Enjoy until the end!

《This is the route for this trip (Enoden and walking only)》
Kamakura Station (Great Buddha grilling on Komachi Street) → Hase Station (Great Buddha of Kamakura, Kotoku-in Temple, Hasedera Temple, lunch at a cafe) → Inamuragasaki Station (Inamuragasaki Park) Shichirigahama Station (passing through while enjoying the scenery) → Koshigoe Station (Koshigoe Fishing Port) → Shonan Kaigan Koen Station (Goodman Coffee) → Enoshima Station (Enoshima Shrine, Sea Candles, relaxing while looking at the sea) → Fujisawa Station

First, purchase a "Noriorikun" Enoshima Electric Railway 1-Day Pass at the ticket machine at the west exit of Kamakura Station!

*"Noriorikun" is on sale at all Enoshima Electric Railway stations. It can also be purchased online. It also lists special facilities. Please check the Enoshima Electric Railway website .
*Refunds are not possible after the trip has begun.

Before boarding the Enoshima Electric Railway, I went around to the east exit and strolled through Komachi-dori, which is bustling with tourists. There are many souvenir shops and food stores, so it's fun just to stroll around Komachi-dori. Since I was in Kamakura this time, I first headed for the "Daibutsu-sama Yaki" (Great Buddha Yaki).

After walking down Komachi-dori for about 10 minutes, I saw a Japanese sweets and dessert shop with a blue curtain on my right, "Kamakura Tomoya". They also sell shaved ice and ice cream, and it was a sunny day, so it was busy. The service was very fast, so I ordered in no time and got my Daibutsu-sama Yaki and Warabimochi brown sugar soft serve ice cream.

Daibutsu-sama Yaki comes in six flavors. It is said to bring good luck, and is said to improve health, popularity, money, beauty, career, and love. This time, I bought the thick-sliced bacon and cheese flavor, which is said to improve career luck. I ate it in the hopes of improving my career luck!

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

First, head to the Great Buddha, the 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. It is 13.35 meters tall and 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 very tranquil and beautiful 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, many hydrangeas bloom, 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 grounds, you will discover many things. First of all, there are three Jizo statues of good relationships. There are three Jizo statues in the grounds, all in a triplet. They are so cute that you will want to take pictures of them.

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 Asako is a cafe located right in front of the sea. The restaurant specializes in dishes made with hemp seeds. The sea spreads out 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 is still continuing.

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

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 on the Enoshima Electric Railway again and headed for Koshigoe Station.
The view from the Enoden train window as you pass Shichirigahama Station is a recommended spot. Don't miss it when you get on!
The Enoshima Electric Railway, which runs along the seafront, through residential areas, and on residential roads, 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 same 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 use the special benefits of "Noriori-kun". It is a coffee stand called "Goodman Coffee" which is 30 seconds walk from the station.

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

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 meal!

Finally, I arrived at Fujisawa Station, the last stop of the "Noriori-kun". But I wanted to enjoy it a little more. I saw Enoshima many times from afar. I wanted to go on land, so I went back one station 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-dori, I walked further and 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 an Enoshima Escar ride ticket at the Enoshima Escar ticket booth. On the way, I changed rides on the Enoshima Escar three times and came across Enoshima Shrine.

At Hetsumiya Shrine, there was a ritual to pass through the Chinowa. It is said that passing through this ritual can purify the body and mind. There is a proper way to pass through the Chinowa, and there are detailed instructions, 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. Because there are no glass windows on the top deck, you can feel the breeze coming from the Shonan sea on your skin 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). Then we went to "THE SUNSET TERRACE" inside "Enoshima Sea Candle". The interior is lined with sofa seats, and with a wonderful view, it is a comfortable place to relax. We waited for the sun to go down while sipping colorful drinks.

Enoshima Sea Candle also offers special benefits from "Noriori-kun." By showing your ticket, you can get discounts at "Enoshima Sea Candle" (50 yen off for adults and 20 yen off for children, instead of the usual 500 yen for adults and 250 yen for children) and "Enoshima Escar" (140 yen off for adults and 70 yen off for children, instead of the usual 360 yen for adults and 180 yen for children).
