The live streaming format captures the vibrant atmosphere at the start of Golden Week (GW), one of Japan’s busiest holiday periods, when many locals and tourists flock to coastal sights to enjoy the pleasant spring weather.

Enoshima (江ノ島), a popular small island located in Kanagawa Prefecture, is celebrated for its beaches, sea views, and lively boardwalks. Its unique blend of natural beauty and seaside entertainment makes it a prime destination for weekend getaways from Tokyo. In this walk, viewers get a sense of the island’s laid-back ambiance as they pass local cafes, souvenir shops, and observation points offering panoramic views over Sagami Bay.

A major highlight of the experience is the Enoden (江ノ電) train line, known for its retro-style green-and-yellow trams that run from Kamakura to Fujisawa, passing through Enoshima. The video provides glimpses of the train as it weaves through neighborhoods and just meters from residential buildings—an iconic scene cherished by trainspotters and visitors alike. With Kamakura’s historic streets and Enoshima’s coastal charm, this live walk offers inspiration for anyone planning a day trip near Tokyo, as well as practical insight into what to expect during Japan’s major holiday seasons.
