Enoshima is a charming island located near Kamakura. From Enoshima, you can enjoy a stunning view of the surrounding sea and, on clear days, catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji rising majestically on the horizon. One of the island's most revered deities is Benzaiten. According to local legend, Benzaiten created Enoshima and later subdued a five-headed dragon that was terrorizing the region. A visit to Enoshima isn’t complete without a stroll down Benzaiten Shopping Street, a charming, old-fashioned shopping alley. Lined with small shops and restaurants where you can find unique souvenirs and sample delicious Japanese street food, including local seafood, ice cream, beer, and so on.

Enoshima Shrine consists of three main shrines: Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya. It was originally built to honor the deities of fishing and maritime transport; however, over time, it also became associated with the gods of music, wealth, and good fortune. The main complex features an octagonal building that houses one of Japan's three most revered statues of Benten, the patron goddess of Enoshima. Since Benten is also the goddess of wealth, some visitors choose to wash their money in the pond at the shrine for good fortune.

Lake Ashi was formed 3,000 years ago and is a serene lake surrounded by mountains, serving as the symbol of Hakone. The beautiful contrast between the white clouds, the blue lake, and the green mountains creates one of the most popular views in Japan.

Fuji in the distance and the bright red torii of Hakone Shrine seen from the deck of one of these ships can create unforgettable memories.
