You can choose the ropeway, the single-person lift, or hike up to Matsuyama Castle if you want some exercise.
The view opens up instantly right in front of you and really makes you feel refreshed, with a sweeping panoramic scene. We even happened to catch the plum blossoms in bloom, which added a lovely touch of red.

Suruga Bay Ferry
“Suruga Bay Ferry” is a marine transportation service offering an Approx. 90-minute voyage across Suruga Bay, connecting Shimizu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture with Toi Port in West Izu. From the ferry, you can enjoy sweeping views of majestic Mt. Fuji from the coastline to the summit, along with a 360-degree panoramic view. The vessel in service is the Suruga Bay Ferry ship “Fuji.”
At Suruga Bay in Shizuoka, the best part of taking the ferry is feeling the ocean breeze while soaking in the stunning panoramic view of Mt. Fuji.
What made it extra special was that they even offered captain uniforms on board for visitors to change into and take photos for free. Put on the sharp-looking uniform and captain’s hat, and with the sweeping Mt. Fuji behind you, every shot turns out amazing. -

Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden)
Enoshima Electric Railway, affectionately known as the “Enoden,” is a private railway operating an approximately 10-kilometer line connecting Fujisawa City and Kamakura City in Kanagawa Prefecture. The line opened in 1902 between Fujisawa and Katase (now Enoshima), and for more than 120 years it has served both as a vital means of daily transportation for local residents and as a key railway supporting tourism in the area.
There’s so much scenery along the Enoden line. If you’re traveling on your own, I’d recommend getting the Enoden one-day pass too.
You can hop on and off unlimited times, and it’s the best way to really explore and check out all the classic spots. -

Enoshima Benzaiten Nakamise Street
As you enter Enoshima through the bronze torii gate, you'll find a bustling shopping district lined with ryokans, eateries, and souvenir shops. This street is always lively with tourists enjoying a walk through history, highlighted by architectural pieces like the black post box in front of the Enoshima Post Office, which has been restored from the Meiji era.
On this shopping street, the most popular food with a line is probably Asahi Honten. You have to get one of their giant rice crackers—they’re bigger than your face.
They’re freshly pressed from whole seafood, with flavors like octopus and shrimp. Pretty much everyone was walking around with one in hand. -
