If you haven’t experienced Enoshima’s Winter Illumination, you’re seriously missing out. It feels like stepping into a fairytale. The entire island lights up in the most magical way, with twinkling displays that make everything—from the lush Samuel Cocking Garden to the towering Sea Candle—look absolutely stunning.
Walking through the garden, surrounded by sparkling tunnels of lights, was nothing short of breathtaking. And the views? Unreal. Seeing the coastline shimmer at night, with Mt. Fuji in the background on a clear evening, is something you won’t forget anytime soon.
Plus, there’s something so cozy about grabbing a hot drink from one of the stalls and just taking it all in. Whether you’re with friends, family, or that special someone, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the winter season and snap some unforgettable photos.
