We spent the last day of Golden Week exploring the beautiful Enoshima Island which is about 1 hour from Tokyo. The Island is very historical and has an amazing collection of temples and shrines. Some speciality seafood from the Island includes clam (hamaguri) and cone shell (sazai). The walk around the Island is simply stunning with ancient, winding, cobblestone roads lined with beautiful forest. There is a remarkable variety of quaint, local shops distributed throughout the small villages scattered on the Island. The highlight was dinner in an outdoor restaurant at the western tip of the Island. Here we had a superb view of the setting sun in a restaurant positioned at the precipice of a 100 m vertical cliff face.
That sounds amazing! Do you know the name of the restaurant?
