🚃 Train running alongside the waves – Enoden train travelogue

#Overseas travel #Enoden #Fujisawa #Kamikura

If you leave Tokyo just a little bit, time slows down.

Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) was such a place.
A short but deep, slow but romantic day.

Departure: Fujisawa - a platform full of old emotions

When I transferred to Enoden at JR Fujisawa Station,
a small wooden platform unfolded before my eyes, just like a scene from a movie.
The train was small and simple, with two or three cars.
That's how much it fits into people's hearts.

Waves and houses outside the window - Running toward Kamakura

The train started moving slowly.
Small Japanese houses lined up next to the narrow railroad,
and after a while, the cool Shonan Sea spread out before me.
Laundry swaying in the sea breeze, children riding bicycles...

I couldn't help but smile at the scenery outside the window.

Especially Kamakura Gokomae Station (鎌倉高校前駅)!
A must-see holy place for Slam Dunk fans.
The scene where the sea, railroad, and traffic lights intersect
will make your mouth drop open when you see it in person.

Enoshima – A Walk on the Sea

I took the Enoden again and got off at Enoshima Station.
The Enoshima Ohashi Bridge that connects to a small island across the sea,
and the escalators and shrines that lead to the top of the island.
The path overlooking the sea felt like a traveler's privilege.
