It’s a great value to go to all the major famous attractions. It’s really easy to have a car to pick you up, otherwise your legs will collapse. It is recommended to go on weekdays, as there are really many people on holidays. The route is to take a minibus to Hasedera and Kogakuen Station, transfer to Enoden and go to Enoshima Station to experience the train. After getting off at Enoshima Station, the minibus will pick you up on Enoshima. The overall arrangement is very good. If you want to travel independently, you have to get off at Enoshima Station and walk to Enoshima, which takes about 20 minutes. It will be quite hard to walk in the hot summer sun. After purchasing the tickets at Hasedera Temple, it happened to be the hydrangea season from May to June. There were many people, almost all Japanese, and there were not many tourists. It is recommended to go straight to Hase-dera Temple to enter. Buy the hydrangea tickets next to it and wait for the number to be called. Then you can go shopping and take pictures. Some people in the same group slowly walked up to buy tickets, but they were still there at the meeting time. It was a pity that I had to leave before my number was called. It usually takes about half an hour to an hour to wait between buying a ticket and getting your number called. Enoshima recommends buying an escalator package to go up and then stroll down to save some time. If you have enough time, you can go to the cave at the terminal. However, we did not have enough time in the end and did not go into the cave. Overall, the time reservation was good. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam on the return trip. The tour guide Xiao Zhang was very polite and briefly introduced the historical attractions. It was worth experiencing! Highly recommended!

Offers many choice for ladies, different accessories (have to pay extra but staff did not push to take it). Good hair stylist & friendly staff. Good service, if possible book morning section as there’s only 3 staff to serve

It was a 10-minute walk from the Enoshima Bridge entrance and a 20-minute walk from the station. I went there to avoid the midday heat, and it was nice because it was cool and there were a lot of things to see. I recommend going on time for the dolphin show, and sit in the middle of the front row as dolphins splash water.

It's close to the station, so it's an easy aquarium to get to! The cafe inside the building sells sweet bread with sea creature motifs, which is a must-buy! It's so cute. There are also many restaurants near the aquarium, from family restaurants to locally owned shops, so it's very convenient.

This is a great and cost-effective package. You can exchange your busy trip to Tokyo for a walk here and experience a leisurely day. The ticket includes a round-trip ticket from Shinagawa to Zushi Hayama, unlimited bus tickets in the Hayama area, a main meal, a dessert or a gift or activity experience. Buying this set of tickets is very value for money, but because there is a lot of information, it is not very easy to read the website. Conveniently, Zushi Hayama Station has a DM introduction that can be picked up and read, which is much more convenient.
