Seize this opportunity to take a photo walk from Enoshima Station to Koshigoe Station. There are many places to take photos of the Enoden trains as they run through the town!

  • Ryukoji Temple
    You can see the Enoden Line from Ryukoji Temple. In addition, you can get a photo of the Enoden alongside cherry blossoms from this location in the spring.
  • Railway "S" curve
    Don’t miss the tight turns the Enoden train takes at Ryukoji Temple intersection, the smallest "S" curve in Japan. Snap some excellent photos of Enoden as the train slowly navigates the winding tracks and busy intersection!
  • The Enoden on Koshigoe-dori Street
    The Enoden runs in the middle of the narrow Koshigoe-dori Street, so you can get unbelievably close to the train! Snap a photo on the Enoden making its way down the street alongside other vehicles.
Our next destination is Kamakurakokomae Station, the stop after Koshigoe Station. Although it’s only a 10-minute walk, the view of the sea from the Kamakurakokomae Station platform is breathtaking, so we recommend getting back on the Enoden Line!
