Most of the Enoshima area can be travelled on foot. It takes around 10 minutes to travel on foot between the two main stations, Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, and Enoshima Station on the Enoden. The area near the stations has a major shopping street, beaches and the Enoshima Aquarium (新江ノ島水族館, Shin-Enoshima Suizokukan).
Enoshima Island is connected to the mainland via a 10-minute pedestrian bridge, the Enoshima Benten Bridge (江ノ島弁天橋, Enoshima Benten-bashi). Once you hit the island, there’s a single main walking path that goes all the way to the back of the island, passing by the Samuel Cocking Garden (江の島サムエル・コッキング苑, Enoshima Samueru Kokkingu En) at the peak of the island and ending at Chigogafuchi Abyss (稚児ヶ淵, Chigogafuchi). The route requires an uphill climb and then a downhill climb on the other side, meaning a round-trip would require that you climb up and down the island twice. For those averse to climbing, there’s a paid escalator service, the Escar, that takes you up to the top of the island on one side of the route.
The areas and beaches between Enoshima and Kamakura (鎌倉) can be explored via the Enoden (around 30 minutes for the entire route) or a 1 hour and 30 minute walk along the beach, which covers the full route to Kamakura.
