Enoden Line Scenic Train Ride

江ノ島電鉄

Kamakura to Fujisawa coast · near Kamakura Station (Enoden and JR)

Enoden Line Scenic Train Ride in Kamakura to Fujisawa coast. The little green-and-cream trains rattle right along the coast and squeeze between houses, with sea-and-surf views from the window between Kamakura, Hase and Enoshima.

Why children love it: The little green-and-cream trains rattle right along the coast and squeeze between houses, with sea-and-surf views from the window between Kamakura, Hase and Enoshima.
