🌊🏖🚃🍚 [One-Day Beach Trip in Zushi, Kamakura, and Enoshima] Tranquil Sea, Parks, and Shirasu Salmon Roe Rice Bowls!
If you want to enjoy the Shonan Sea at your leisure, we recommend a morning coastal stroll and gourmet trip from Zushi Beach to Kamakura Seaside Park and then to Enoshima.
🚃 If you're looking for a scenic route to Enoshima, this is the route for you.
There are two main routes from Zushi Station to Enoshima:
✅ Recommended for those who prioritize scenery.
• Zushi Station → Kamakura Station (JR Yokosuka Line) → Enoshima Electric Railway to Enoshima Station
→ The view from the train window along the coast from Kamakura High School to Koshigoe is breathtaking. You'll have to transfer, but it's sure to get you in the mood for a trip!
✅ Recommended for those who want to get there quickly
• Zushi-Hayama Station (Keikyu Line) → Kanazawa-Hakkei → Shonan Monorail to Enoshima
→ The journey is short and smooth. Convenient even on bad weather.

🏖 1. Enjoy the tranquil morning ocean at Zushi Seaside Park
Zushi Seaside Park, beloved by locals, is a 15-minute walk from Zushi Station.
The pleasant grass and shade of pine trees, with plenty of benches, make it perfect for morning coffee.
The sandy beach is also nearby, so it's nice to take off your shoes and stroll along the water's edge.

🌴 2. Enjoy the ocean and greenery at Kamakura Seaside Park (Yuigahama District)
Next, head to Kamakura Seaside Park.
From Zushi Station, take the JR train for 5 minutes to Kamakura Station, then walk for about 15 minutes.
The park is divided into various areas, and the oceanfront Yuigahama area is especially recommended.
• There's a grassy plaza, stone benches overlooking the ocean, and stairs leading down to the beach.
• It's very quiet on weekdays, perfect for picnics and naps.
• From spring to fall, you'll see surfers and people strolling along the beach.
Spending an hour surrounded by sunlight filtering through the trees and the sea breeze is truly "Shonan time."

🚃 3. Enjoy the coastal route to Enoshima on the Enoden Line
Walk from Kamakura Seaside Park to Yuigahama Station or Hase Station.
From there, hop on the Enoden Line and enjoy the spectacular coastal views around Kamakura High School and Koshigoe Stations as you head to Enoshima.
The sparkling ocean and Enoshima silhouette seen from the train window are like something out of a movie.

🍚 4. If you're looking for a shirasu ikura donburi in Enoshima, check these out!
✅ Tips for choosing a shirasu ikura donburi restaurant:
1. A sign that says "Fresh shirasu available" means the day's catch is good.
→ Even during the fishing season, April to December, the sign may not be there depending on the sea conditions.
2. A quieter, hidden gem off the tourist trail:
→ Head towards the backstreets or Katase Fishing Port rather than Benzaiten Nakamise Street.
3. Topping with ikura + egg yolk makes for a photogenic meal and increases your satisfaction.
→ If the menu says "shirasu + ikura" + "egg yolk, seaweed, and condiments included," don't hesitate!
🍴 Examples of restaurant choices:
• [Shirasu-ya]... Close to Katase Fishing Port and popular with locals.
• [Tobicho]... For those who prioritize portions. Worth the wait.
• [Uomitei]... Located on the cliffs of Enoshima. You can look down on the ocean from the terrace seats!
