For a refreshing, coastal day trip close to Tokyo look no further than Enoshima. A small island west of Kamakura, Enoshima's got a little bit of everything: shrines, great seafood, Mt. Fuji views, and even caves. Just one hour from Shinjuku by train, the island can easily fill up your day with lots of walking, street food and local attractions. If you'd like to venture further afield, you can combine it with a day trip to Kamakura, or the 'little Kyoto'.
