The Enoden is a charming part of everyday life in Kamakura. The train travels along the coast, sometimes hugging the Shonan shoreline and sometimes weaving between homes. Outside the window are old streets, houses, utility poles, and deep blue ocean views. Nothing feels overly staged, yet everywhere you look, you can sense the daily life of Kamakura.
There are also many iconic attractions along the way, such as the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Hasedera Temple, Kamakurakokomae, Shichirigahama, and Enoshima. Each stop has its own scenery and pace. You can buy a one-day pass, take your time riding and exploring, and get off whenever you see a place you like.
I've actually been to Kamakura many times, but it keeps drawing me back again and again. The Kamakura coast in particular is just so captivating!
