Enoshima Tombolo Experience, Soba-Making & Night View

Recommended by Kanagawa Prefecture

Shonan Area 12h45m

During the low water spring tide, Enoshima becomes accessible by land, allowing you to walk through a sandy beach to the island. Try your hand at making soba at the Matsumoto Museum in the Samuel Cocking Garden, and after gazing at the sunset you'll be strolling through Enoshima now decorated with lanterns—a special event that happens only during August.
