The Enoden-Train runs from Kamakura to Enoshima, as well as a road surface train running a total length of about 10 km taking about 35 minutes to reach Fujisawa. This train line, which is loved by the locals and is an important part of the area’s history, was established in 1902 and has been running for over 100 years in the old district of Kamakura and the Shonan Enoshima area.
