Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fujisawa includes Enoshima, the Shonan coast and an old temple town. Choose one part of the island or the Yugyo-ji area rather than linking everything in one walk.

This guide covers places within Fujisawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

The red torii and Zuishinmon gate of Enoshima Shrine01

A first-visit stop

Enoshima Shrine

江島神社

A collective shrine of several worship areas on Enoshima. Start with Zuishinmon and one nearby section; the island has hills and steps rather than an entirely flat route.

Getting there
Check island approaches from Katase-Enoshima, Enoshima or Shonan-Enoshima station

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the island entrance → Nakamise street → Zuishinmon. Continue uphill toward the tower only after checking slopes, entry conditions and your return route.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
