Located just an hour south of Tokyo by train, Enoshima is a small island (just 4 kilometers or 2.5 miles in circumference) in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Enoshima Shrine is one of the island’’s main attractions, and is dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten (or Benten), the only goddess among the Seven Lucky Gods who supposedly bring wealth. She is also considered the deity of “everything that flows,” from water to time to music. Enoshima Jinja consists of 3 shrines that are scattered across Enoshima Island.

The Benzaiten Nakamise Shopping Street leads up to Enoshima Shrine and is packed with shops selling everything from souvenirs to street food. Being an island, the area is of course known for its seafood! Famous Enoshima street foods include crispy octopus rice crackers, grilled scallop skewers, and shirasu (whitebait) dishes.
