How to Get to Enoshima from Tokyo (2026)
Enoshima has two good ways in: the direct, fast Odakyu line from Shinjuku, or — the more scenic option — the little Enoden train along the coast from Kamakura. If you're combining with Kamakura (recommended), the Enoden is half the fun.
The routes
- Shinjuku → Katase-Enoshima on the Odakyu line: direct, ~70 min; the 'Romancecar' is fastest with a reserved seat
- From Kamakura → Enoshima on the Enoden: ~25 min, scenic coastal ride
- Ofuna → Shonan-Enoshima on the Shonan Monorail: a fun suspended-monorail approach
- Three nearby stations (Katase-Enoshima, Enoshima, Shonan-Enoshima) all sit a short walk from the bridge
Which pass?
If you're doing Kamakura and Enoshima together and riding the Enoden a lot, the Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass (or the Odakyu Enoshima 1-day pass) saves money once you hop a few times. For a single direct visit from Shinjuku, just reserve a Romancecar seat or tap an IC card.
How do you get to Enoshima from Tokyo? +
Take the Odakyu line from Shinjuku to Katase-Enoshima (~70 min; the Romancecar is fastest). Or reach it scenically from Kamakura on the Enoden in about 25 minutes.
Is there a pass for Enoshima and Kamakura? +
Yes — the Enoshima-Kamakura area passes bundle the trains and the Enoden, worth it if you hop between the two and ride the Enoden several times.
