Our guide

Enoshima is a small island, about 4 km around, at the mouth of the Katase River where it flows into Sagami Bay. It belongs to the mainland city of Fujisawa and is joined to its Katase district by a bridge 389 m long. The island and the coast beside it are the centre of a resort area, with some of the closest sandy beaches to Tokyo and Yokohama.

Enoshima Aquarium is about 1.1 km away in a straight line. We have not checked a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map.
