The Enoshima Electric Railway is a popular scenic railway line on the pacific coast, 50 kilometers in the south of Tokyo. It is also called Enoshima Dentetsu, making the shortened form "Enoden".

The line extends from Fujisawa to Kamakura - on a way with a total lenght of only 10 kilometers.
There are many major tourist attractions in this area as the worldwide known Kōtoku-in-Temple with its monumental bronze statue of Amida Buddha (near Hase station).
Enoshima itself is a small offshore island south of Fujisawa, featuring magnificent views on the Sagami Bay and even to Mount Fuji (on clear days).

Although the line is rather short, the 34 minutes trip is really enjoying. The route passes through densely populated areas, the lack of space is visible everywhere. For a moment the train passes the backyard of some houses, then following the middle of a street as a tram line, just before traveling along the beautiful seaside.
It is quite popular for weekend trips from Tokyo.

The entire line has only a single track, there are 4 stations and one additional signal stop featuring passing loops. The timetable is tight, there are usually 6 trains operating at the same time. In addition with pretty short stops at both terminus stations, the normal train interval is 12 minutes per direction. (remember the single tracked line!)

Another impressive feature are the beautiful historic trainsets of Enoshima Dentetsu which are usually combined with newer ones.

Furthermore the Enoshima Dentetsu is also well-known in Japanese media culture, as it is often shown in TV-shows, films and animes. (e.g. "High and Low" (1963), "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien" or "Elfen Lied")

The line accepts Pasmo and Suica cards, but it has a higher basic fare than other transport companies in this area. (starting with 190¥)

Song for this line: (Hatsune Miku)
