▼ Enoshima Island (approx. 100 minutes, free time)
According to legend, Enoshima Island was formed in the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign (552 AD), when sand began to rise from the sea and formed an island after 21 days. Another tale recorded in Mount Hiei's Enryakuji Temple tells a moving story:
Long ago, the Kamakura area was a large lake where a five-headed dragon caused disasters-landslides, plagues, floods, and storms. One day, dark clouds filled the sky, and a beautiful goddess descended from the heavens, raising an island from the sea. The dragon fell in love with her, repented, and vowed to do good deeds. Eventually, he married the goddess, and together they protected the island and its people. It is said that this dragon was a manifestation of Benzaiten, the goddess of music and wealth. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu once visited to pay respects. By the Edo period, Enoshima had become a popular getaway for Tokyo locals and a spiritual home for artists and Kabuki performers.
【Enoshima Shrine】
Founded in the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign (552 AD), Enoshima Shrine holds its annual festival in early April.

Benzaiten is also worshiped as a goddess of wealth, attracting countless visitors and pilgrims. Nearby stands the White Dragon King, whose spring water is believed to bring prosperity when used to wash coins.
