It’s not a traditional solemn temple. It actually feels a bit eerie, even slightly spooky. The Buddha statues in the cave and the sculptures of hell scenes are really striking!

Enoshima
It's a tiny island at the tip of a sandbar that juts out to sea from a long sandy beach. It is known for its superb view of the sea of Shonan and Mt. Fuji.
Great for couples or friends. You don’t have to pack your schedule too tight.
Make sure you stay for sunset—the ocean view is so soothing.

Enoshima Shrine
Enoshima Shrine is premier and venerable shrine on Enoshima Island known for holding events year around. Counted among Japan's three greatest Benzaiten (goddesses of wealth) shrines, it consists of three individual shrines: Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya. These shrines are said to bestow blessings for matchmaking, monetary fortune, and improvement in performing arts.
Enoshima Shrine is in such a unique spot. As you walk, you’ve got ocean views the whole way.
The climb up is a little tiring, but the scenery is totally worth it.

Yokohama Cosmo World
This multi-level urban amusement park has a bit of everything, from thrilling rides like a giant Ferris wheel and roller coasters to games, haunted houses, virtual reality attractions using VR and 3D technologies, and children’s rides like merry-go-rounds and character cars.
The most eye-catching thing at COSMO WORLD is that huge Ferris wheel—you can see it from far away.
