Japan is a country with a lot of things to show to foreigners. Undoubtedly, they have developed their own lands into their tourism potentials, and local and foreign tourists seem to like it. If you go to Fujisawa, you would see more than the Japan with Shinto temples, art museums and natural parks. Fujisawa has some of the best beaches in Japan, and the Enoshima Island that’s beating Miami Beach to their game.
You should book cheap flights to Fujisawa earlier than July or August because people rush to Fujisawa’s beaches during the summer. The only way to get to the city proper is by JR Tokyo Station going to Shinjuku. You can also ride a train from Kamakura. If you’re planning a vacation trip to Enoshima, you can ride the local Katase Enoshima railway station in addition from your train trip to Tokyo. You can book your cheap flights to Fujisawa and land on the nearby Tokyo Haneda International Airport.
There are three beach areas in Fujisawa: Enoshima, Kagenuma and Shichiragahama. The one most travelled by tourists is the Enoshima, an island that’s connected by a bridge to the mainland. It has been dubbed as the Surf City of Japan because the areas of Chigasaki and Kamakura in the island are popular surfing spots. Besides those are a number of man-made attractions in the island, including the Samuel Cocking Garden and Observation Tower, Enoshima Shrine, Enoshima Island Spa, Iwaya Caves, and Enoshima Aquarium. If you feel like relaxing, you can try out the spa services. They have a good view of Mount Fuji on a clear day. The Enoshima Shrine is a complex of three shrines scattered throughout the Island, housing the statue of Benten, Japanese goddess of wealth.
On a normal day, you can just dip your body in the cool beach water. However, you can also stroll through Shinbayashi and Shonen Kaigan Parks in the mainland. Hotels in Fujisawa are not a problem, too. Expect a number of budget hotels around Fujisawa City servicing tourists going to Enoshima. Just remember that there is a higher chance that Fujisawa hotels would be fully accommodated by summertime.
