Enoshima is a small island at the mouth of Katase-gawa River that flows into Sagami Bay. Its perimeter is approximately 4 km and it is linked with the opposite shore of Katase by the 600 m long Enoshima Ohashi Bridge. Once you have crossed the bridge, you will see the island is crowded with marine product shops, souvenir shops, inns and eating-places. Enoshima-jinja Shrine on the island was originally a tutelary shrine where the three goddesses of land, sea transport and fisheries were enshrined in the year of 552. Hadaka-Benten, or the naked goddess of entertainment in the shrine is one of the three most famous goddesses in Japan and is visited by a number of celebrities.
