A sanctuary held the Olympic Games twice！Let’s dig deeper into the attractiveness of the yacht harbor.

Enoshima Yacht Harbour located on the north- east coastal side of Enoshima was developed for the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964. The ground area is so huge of 110,000 m², most of which is artificially reclaimed.

On the premises, there are the yacht harbor, land storage facility, repair shop, and the Club House playing a part of the gate of Sagami Bay. The Club House is characteristic of its roof designed with an image of gently swinging of waves and has 2 stories, there is the olympic memorial exhibition room for free admission, the free space including the observation deck, and the shop providing many marine related items. In the marine shop called 1964, gears and parts selected strictly by the first-class sailors are on sale. The original marine items and accessories are at high level as fashion items and popular for people who are not yacht owners.

In front of the Club House, the path called the Center Promenade is equipped and you can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the port. At the Center Promenade, you can watch yachts moving through the harbor at a close distance and many remarkable spots are located around the harbor. The former central city is nearby and you will see the scenery which strongly resembles an old fishing town.

The boat cruising, Enoshima Cruise, is recommended to visitors who want to try marine leisure at Enoshima. Many crushing plans are ready including the cruising course during sunset time on the boat.

If you don’t know how to handle a yacht, you can try a popular course, the sailing experience course. A trial session provided by non profit organization, Sailability Enoshima, opens at Enoshima Yacht Harbor for the people from the elementary schoolers and older, many elderly or disabled people occasionally attend. You might be nervous when you wear a life jacket and go on board but you will get the best exhilarating feeling soon when the yacht starts running by nature power alone. Try maneuvering, you can handle smoothly earlier than you expect.

The only gourmet spot in the Club House is Cafe Tobiccho Enoshima Yacht Harbor. Cafe Tobiccho is managed by a whitebait wholesaler and 4 shops are opened in Enoshima and Shonan areas. In the shop with a comfortable atmosphere where sun shines, various dishes are served, for example, curry, salad, and pizza filled with seafood, and dishes using Yamayuri pork which is a brand of pork of Kanagawa prefecture.

The most recommended dish is Shirasu-donburi (whitebait on rice), you can choose topping with Kamaage which is fluffy and freshly boiled whitebait or crispy fried whitebait.
Don’t miss the donburi using raw whitebait for a limited quantity and time. Whitebait has an excellent taste because it is strictly choosed and cooked on the day when caught in the morning so the texture is nice and slightly sweet. Enjoy the great taste which the sailors who reach the harbor are fascinated with.

Gourmet spots which are worth visiting are scattered around the yacht harbor such as a seafood restaurant and SUNCAFE PARADISE which is a fashionable shop and was renovated from a trailer house at Enoshima-higashi town.
