Enoshima Bentenjima Nakamise Street (Enoshima Enmusashi-dori)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Immediately after crossing Enoshima Benten Bridge, the approach continuing from the bronze torii gate is Nakamise Street. The street is lined with restaurants serving Shonan specialties such as whitebait rice bowls and food stalls where octopus crackers are grilled on-site, as well as grilled shellfish skewers and other street food. It's perfectly positioned as a lunch stop before swimming, and the lively atmosphere of the approach becomes a memorable part of your trip. The stairs to Enoshima Shrine continue beyond the shopping street, so you can head straight to the shrine after eating.

Tips

About 15 minutes on foot from Enoden Enoshima Station or about 15 minutes on foot from Katase Enoshima Station via Benten Bridge. During the summer daytime, the approach can get crowded, so it's recommended to arrive early for lunch, around noon. Minimize bulky luggage when eating on-the-go so you can travel light to the beach.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. If you arrive around noon, you can beat the lines.
