Attractions

Shonan has numerous natural, historical, and modern attractions. The historical capital city of Kamakura and the ancient island of Enoshima off the coast of Fujisawa insures a steady supply of tourists coming down from Tokyo and Yokohama. Scroll through the list below to see what's around. And let me know if you know of a place that you think should be added.

I'll add more history here sometime. Excuse the mess :-)
