We headed for Enoshima Island from Katase-Enoshima Station of Odakyu Electric Railway.  We were all excited and shouted at the elegant and majestic Mt Fuji against the clear, blue sky.  We took an escalator to go up the hill and visited Enoshima Shrine consisting of three small shrines and then headed for Iwaya caves.  I was concerned about the couple with a small child, because the wind was very strong.  However, the couple, in their around 30’s, cared nothing about it and asked me to look after their buggy in

front of the Iwaya.  After lunch, we took Enoden train to go to Kotokuin Temple and Hasedera Temple. The visitors bought souvenirs at Kamakura Music Box Museum.  They decided to skip Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, saying that they should visit it the next time they come to Japan to see cherry blossoms.  I saw them off at Ofuna Station at 17:00.  Their daughter was so cute to dance to a Japanese nursery song and blew a kiss to me.  It was a happy day for me with a Japan-loving family.
