Enoshima

A threatening big cloud over Enoshima

The cloud was huge!

I went to an island called Enoshima with my friends. It is about an hour train ride from Tokyo. The island itself isn't too big but there are many things to see. For instance there are three shrines, Enoshima Tower and a dark cave where you were given a candle before entering to make it easier to see :) Even though there was a huge cloud over the island we were really fortunate with the weather because it didn't rain. Enoshima is a nice place to visit. When you are standing at the top of the Tower you have a great view of the ocean, Fujisan etc and you can't help but feel at peace. Actually you are not able to see Fujisan that often because it is usually hidden by clouds. It always makes me happy to see Fujisan so I am glad we had luck on our side today :)
