There are actually quite a lot of places to visit in Japan, so if you want to visit, you have to choose some attractions, or if you have a long vacation, you can travel freely. Here is some information about this for you to check out.

: From Tokyo to _Kura and Enoshima

1. Take JR there

It is quite convenient to take JR to Kamakura Times. You can take the JR Yokosuka Line or the Shonan-Shinjuku Line from Shinjuku, Ueno, or Shinagawa Stations. As long as there is a train passing through Kamakura and Tuko, you can go directly to Kamakura Station without changing trains!

If you take the JR Tokaido Line, you need to get off at Juchu Station, which stops along the way, then transfer to the JR Yokosuka Line, and then arrive at Kamakura Station, or get off at Fujisawa Station and transfer to Enoden Station The train arrives at Enomichi Station and Kamakura Station in sequence. In addition, if you want to go directly to Kawashima Station, you can get off at JR Fujisawa Station, transfer to the Oda-Ujima Line, and get off at Katase-Kawashima Station, or transfer to the Shonan Light Rail at JR Shipyard Station, and take the Shonan- Get off at Kawashima Station.

2. Take the Oda Express train.

To take the Oda Express to Kamakura and Kawashima, you need to take the Oda Express and Oda Express Island Line from Shinjuku Station. Most Oda Express trains stop at Sagami-ono Station and then go straight to Fujisawa Station. If the first stop of your journey is Kawashima Station, it is recommended that you take the Oda Express Island Line from Shinjuku Station, then transfer at Fujisawa Station and arrive at Katase Kawashima Station. If you want to take the Kawasaki Electric Power Station, you can get off at Fujisawa Station.

Although most passengers on the Oda Express mainly go to Hakone Town, there are actually several Romantic Express trains departing from Shinjuku every day (less on weekdays). It only takes one train from Shinjuku to Katase-Enoshima Station. 65 minutes. Moreover, the Romance Express trains all have reserved seats, which is very suitable for family passengers with children or passengers who want to take a comfortable train to Kawasaki Island.

3. Take the Shonan Light Rail.

The Shonan Light Rail is an elevated train that runs between Shonan Okawa Station and Enoshima. Every bus is an ordinary train with all the stops. It only takes 14 minutes from Okawa Station to Shonan Enoshima Station. If you want to get to Enoshima quickly from Okawa Station, taking the Shonan Light Rail will be a good choice.

But if you take the JR or Oda Express from Tokyo and transfer to the Shonan Light Rail at Daihatsu Station, the total fare will be more expensive because it is a tram system of a different company. If you just want to go from Daihatsu Station to Shonan Enomichi Station, it will be more cost-effective to take the train of the same railway company.
