Just outside Tokyo, you’ll find Shonan area – a relaxing tourist spot where you
can escape from the city’s constant, in-your-face energy and enjoy nature and
history at a much slower, leisurely pace.
Both Enoshima and Kamakura are historic sites where you can learn much
about the Japanese culture through its architecture, arts, and cuisine. There are
numerous shrines and temples in the area, including the Great Buddha of
Kamakura. The streets are lined with historic buildings and traditional shops,
and walking around the area feels like being in a different era.
Enoshima and Kamakura are connected by a quaint seaside monorail, making
the journey between the two cities an attraction in itself. Combine a visit to the
two cities to make a relaxing day trip from Tokyo.
