Please check the official website or the shrine office (0466-22-4020) for the latest information on bringing a pet into the grounds.

Goshuin seals are given at the shrine offices of each of the three shrines, generally 8:30-17:00, though this can vary with events and the season. Please check the official website for the latest information.

Visiting Enoshima Shrine alone, including getting there and back, takes about 1 to 2 hours. Adding the island's observation deck and caves, allow 2 to 4 hours, or half a day.

The grounds are open 8:30-17:00 and free to visit. Only the Hoanden hall charges admission: adults 200 yen, junior and senior high school students 100 yen, elementary school children 50 yen, and under school age free (group discounts for 25 or more). The Hoanden accepts visitors 8:30-16:30.

It is a paid escalator running from the foot of Enoshima to the top of the island. As the three shrines are spread across the island, the Escar saves you the climb, and is useful for anyone with limited mobility or who would find the slopes hard.

Enoshima Shrine is the collective name for the three shrines on Enoshima: Hetsunomiya, Nakatsunomiya and Okutsunomiya. They enshrine three sister goddesses (Tagitsuhime, Ichikishimahime and Tagorihime), worshipped as deities of the sea, of happiness, of wealth and of progress in the arts. It is one of the three great Benzaiten shrines of Japan.

It is said to date from 552, when the three sea goddesses were enshrined in the cave. It later became widely known when Minamoto no Yoritomo had Benzaiten enshrined here, and in the Edo period pilgrimages to Enoshima, combined with a day out, were extremely popular.

The octagonal Hoanden hall in the grounds of Hetsunomiya holds the eight-armed Benzaiten and Myoon Benzaiten, one of the three great Benzaiten of Japan. They are valuable statues that have drawn worshippers since the Edo period.

The grounds can be visited in the rain. Parts of the approach are paved with stone and can become slippery, so please wear comfortable shoes.

There are paid car parks on and around the island. They are very busy at weekends and on holidays, so we recommend arriving early. Public transport is more convenient.

Open every day.

Parking is available. Please check the official information for details.
