Sea and mountain ridges from above the island
Ascend the tower for sea and mountain views around Enoshima. What you can see depends on the weather and visibility that day.
How to get to Enoshima Sea Candle
Start at Enoden Enoshima or Odakyu Katase-Enoshima Station. Official estimates using Escar are about 25 minutes from Enoshima or 20 minutes from Katase-Enoshima. Even with Escar, downhill walking remains.
Cross Enoshima Benten Bridge into Benzaiten Nakamise Street. Take all three paid Escar sections left of the shrine’s red torii; Samuel Cocking Garden’s entrance is on the right, with the tower inside. Meals, waits, tower viewing and downhill walking are excluded from the access estimate. When using the daytime tower and Escar set, plan to leave the garden before 17:00 on event days.
Before you visit
Escar still requires walking downhill
Escar operates uphill only. Use it to ascend the island, then return down stairs and walking sections.
Leaving the garden after 17:00 on event days
Event-day evening admission depends on your garden exit time. Leaving after 17:00 adds 500 yen adults or 250 yen children, separate from tower admission. To visit at daytime prices, leave the garden before 17:00 on event days.
Facility and event hours
Sea Candle, the garden and event hours may differ. If an event falls on your date, check each facility’s hours.
Questions about Enoshima Sea Candle
