Sakura by the Sea: Enoshima’s Blossoms and Ocean Views

#cherryblossom25 Just over an hour from Tokyo, Enoshima Island in Kanagawa Prefecture offers a unique blend of coastal beauty and cherry blossom charm. Each spring, from late March to early April, the island’s cherry trees bloom, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of Sagami Bay .  A highlight is the Samuel Cocking Garden, where visitors can stroll among blooming cherry trees and enjoy panoramic ocean views. Nearby, the Enoshima Sea Candle, a modern lighthouse observatory, provides sweeping vistas of the coastline and, on clear days, Mount Fuji .  The island’s natural beauty is complemented by its cultural sites, including the historic Enoshima Shrine. Accessible via a short walk from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, Enoshima offers a serene escape where visitors can experience the harmonious blend of sakura and sea.
