50 scenic spots in Kanagawa “Chigo Kebuchi” sunset

From Shonan Enoshima, one of the tourist attractions in Kanagawa Prefecture, I would like to introduce a spot that is known for the beauty of the setting sun over Mt. Fuji and has been selected as one of the “50 scenic spots in Kanagawa”.

"Chigo ga Fuchi", a seafood plateau born from the uplift phenomenon

Chigo Kebuchi is the innermost part of the Enoshima Shrine, which has a sharp difference in elevation, and is located in “Iwaya,” the birthplace of the Enoshima Benzaiten faith. Enoshima Shrine is also one of Japan’s three major Benzaiten.
You can walk there or take a boat.
