I actually prefer this to Kyoto and Nara. Less people, easier and shorter access to ancient temples, loads of history, good food and shopping, wonderful ocean views. One of my favorite places in Japan. More

Enoshima island is a short train ride from downtown Tokyo and well worth the trip. This small island, reachable by footbridge, includes a number of holy sites, a cave you can tour and the Sea Candle light house. The cave and the light house charge admission (I think it was 500 yen for the cave and 700 for the light... More

After spending most of the day running around Kamakura and looking at beautiful temples, I decided I had just enough time to squeeze in a look at this odd little island. Earlier I had hopped off the train from Shinjuku at Ofuna Station and bought a JR Kamakura Enoshima Pass from the ticket office, which allowed full use of the... More

The locals were in long lines to get the rice crackers with a compressed octopus....we tasted it but did not eat the entire thing. There was... More
