Shonan Coast: The Ultimate Summer Getaway in Japan

Summer is all about heading to Shonan Coast! Not only can you escape the heat, enjoy water activities, and surf, but you can also take stunning photos with the beach and sunset as your backdrop! If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji! When you're tired, you can dine at beachfront restaurants offering delicious food! The gateways to Shonan Coast are 'Kamakura' and 'Fujisawa.' You can travel from Fujisawa to Kamakura or vice versa, passing through the central 'Enoshima.' These two stations are also the terminal stations of the 'Enoden' line. For those who love water sports, you can challenge yourself with surfing, SUP, and more. There are plenty of rental shops for water equipment, and some even offer BBQ or small bar services, making it easy to spend an entire afternoon here with friends! If you just want to dip your toes in the water and take beautiful photos, you can get off at Shichirigahama, Kamakurakokomae, or Inamuragasaki stations on the Enoden line to see the gradient blue coastline.
