The beaches of Enoshima and Kamakura

I return to my hometown in Japan every winter, and I always make time to visit the picturesque island of Enoshima and its nearby beaches.

On clear, crisp winter days, the air is especially clean, and you can enjoy a beautiful view of the distant Mt. Fuji standing quietly on the horizon.

I especially like spending time at the beach during winter, when everything feels calm and still.

At this time of year, the beaches are much quieter. The peaceful atmosphere, especially at sunset, gives the landscape a gentle golden glow.
