Take a day away from the bustling city of Tokyo and visit Enoshima island in Kanagawa. This small island has many activities and attractions to experience and visit, ranging from shrines, caves, and food! Enoshima Shrine is unique in that it is separated into three shrines that are scattered across the island. Many tourists come and pray to Benten, the goddess of Enoshima, as she is known to bring good fortune and wealth. 
If you come with your significant other, make sure to visit the Love Bell located on top of Enoshima Hill. You can leave a memory by ringing the bell and writing cute messages on locks, which you can place on the fence. Explore Enoshima’s natural side and visit Iwaya Cave. This historic cave will leave you in awe as you view Buddhist statues and learn more about the legendary dragon god. Near the cave is the beautiful Southern Coast, where you can watch Mount Fuji light up from the gorgeous sunset.

Enoshima

A prefecture on the east coast of central Japan, Kanagawa sits just to the south of Tokyo, intersecting the greater city limits. Bordered by the Tama River, Yokohama serves as Kanagawa’s capital, the second largest city in Japan by population, and one of the first to be opened up to foreign trade. It’s a multicultural metropolis, Minato Mirai’s glittering shops and bars on the harborside, contrasting its massive Chinatown lined with restaurants and street food stalls. Yokohama is home to both the Cup Noodle Museum and Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, alongside Japanese gardens, shopping, and bars featuring local craft beers. Follow the coastline down to find the seaside town of Kamakura, once a political hub during medieval Japan, now a popular day trip away from the city for its beaches and religious sites. Cafes bustling in the mainstreet of Komachi Dori lead up to the majestic Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, while the Daibutsu (Big Buddha) awaits at Kotokuin not far from Hasedera Temple, overlooking the ocean. 

To the west of Kamakura is Enoshima, a popular island and surfing spot in summer, home to 3 Shinto shrines, quality seafood, and fish-flavored soft serve. Hakone is also apart of Kanagawa Prefecture, a mountainous hot spring town included in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park area. Famous for iconic views of Mount Fuji across Lake Ashi, Hakone’s network of ropeways also offer Fuji views on a clear day, while so do some outdoor baths at specialty hot spring hotels. Try some black eggs boiled in the sulfur springs of Owakudani, freshly cut soba buckwheat noodles made with local water, or relax with a luxurious multi-course kaiseki meal at a ryokan (Japanese style inn). From cityscapes to beaches and mountainous getaways, Kanagawa Prefecture offers diverse environments to explore with exciting local cuisine to match it.

神奈川是日本中部东海岸的一个县，位于东京南部，与东京市区相交。横滨以多摩川为界，是神奈川县的首府，也是日本人口第二大城市和最早对外开放的城市之一。横滨是一个多元文化的大都市，港未来区（Minato Mirai）临港的商店和酒吧熠熠生辉，而规模庞大的唐人街（Chinatown）则餐馆林立，街边小吃摊鳞次栉比。横滨有杯面博物馆和新横滨拉面博物馆，还有日式花园、购物场所和以当地手工啤酒为特色的酒吧。沿着海岸线向下走，就能找到海滨城市镰仓，它曾是日本中世纪的政治中心，现在则因其海滩和宗教遗址而成为离城一日游的热门目的地。小町通（Komachi Dori）大街上的咖啡馆熙熙攘攘，通往雄伟的鹤冈八幡宫，而大佛（Daibutsu）则在距离早寺（Hasedera Temple）不远的小德院（Kotokuin）等待着游客，那里可以俯瞰大海。 

镰仓西面的江之岛是夏季的冲浪胜地，这里有 3 座神社、优质海鲜和鱼味软饮料。箱根也隶属神奈川县，是富士箱根伊豆国立公园内的山间温泉之乡。箱根以芦之湖对面富士山的标志性美景而闻名，晴天时，箱根的索道网也能让您欣赏到富士山的美景，而特色温泉酒店的露天浴池也能让您一饱眼福。在大涌谷（Owakudani）的硫磺泉中煮一些黑鸡蛋，品尝用当地泉水制作的新鲜荞麦面，或在日式旅馆享用豪华的多道菜怀石料理，放松身心。从城市景观到海滩和山间度假胜地，神奈川县为您提供了多种多样的探索环境和令人兴奋的当地美食。

In the comfortable atmosphere of our Japanese household, we would like to share our love of Japanese traditional culture and food with you! During this Rolled Sushi Bento Making Class in Kamakura, we will be making a bento with local ingredients. Bento is a Japanese lunch box that is often made for children by mothers, usually consisting of rice and 3-4 side dishes. During this bento-making class, you will learn how traditional Japanese home cooking, including dishes like tamagoyaki (rolled omelette), teriyaki chicken, octopus-shaped sausage, and other typical bento dishes. But the main highlight of this bento-making class is learning to make rolled sushi from scratch! It’s so easy that even small children can try it (and sometimes they’re even better than adults)! 

After cooking the dishes and rolling sushi, you’ll pack everything together in the bento, making a colorful and cute arrangement using your imagination! This cooking class emphasizes “local production for local consumption.” So, Kamakura vegetables will add pops of color to your bento while supporting local farmers and producers. But after you have perfected your bento, the experience is not over yet! You’ll try another Japanese craft, origami, and make your own chopstick holder.

This bento-making experience takes place at Yoko’s house, from which Kamakura’s Inamuragasaki Beach is easily accessible. Kamakura is a delightful hamlet with around 65 temples and 19 shrines, a lovely day trip away from Tokyo. Inamuragasaki Station is located near the sea and Inamuragasaki Onsen (a hot spring facility), so the cooking class is the perfect accompaniment to a relaxing beach or onsen trip!

A popular coastal town and sightseeing location, Kamakura is just a short train ride from Tokyo. Join Yoko in her Kamakura home and learn how to make makizushi (rolled sushi) and 3-4 side dishes. As a bonus, you’ll also join a calligraphy lesson!

Enoshima: A charming coastal town–just a stone's throw away from Tokyo–with a long history as a spiritual site for Japanese people, with shrines, temples, and monuments said to have been established almost 1500 years ago. The island itself is accessible by a scenic bridge and has long been a popular destination for tourists and residents alike. One such resident is your host–Fujioka Makiko–who has been sharing her passion for the sweeter things in life since 2012 with her Japanese confectionary (wagashi) cooking class.

Wagashi (和菓子) are traditional Japanese confectioneries or sweets. These bite-sized treats represent harmony and balance between nature and humanity while reflecting Japanese culture, customs, and values. 

Wagashi often draws inspiration from the four seasons, as will the ones made in your experience. With the foundation laid, let's get down to business! Your adventure will begin at Katase Enoshima station, where your host will greet you with open arms. From here, you’ll stroll to your wagashi workshop, where the magic will begin.

The workshop starts with a brief introduction  about wagashi's rich history and cultural significance. Next, roll up your sleeves and dive into the artistry of wagashi-making. Watch on as your faithful host demonstrates each step with mesmerizing precision, nimble fingers effortlessly shaping the delicate dough, folding it into intricate patterns reminiscent of delicate origami. Now it's your turn to knead, roll, and pinch the wagashi dough to form your sweet creations.

Once you've completed your edible masterpieces, snap some pictures and let the tasting begin! Savor your handmade wagashi as you look out onto the stunning Enoshima shoreline. Leave this charming workshop with a heart full of memories, a box of carefully packaged wagashi, and a stroll along the sun-kissed shores of Enoshima. 

Journey to Enoshima Island–a charming coastal town near Tokyo–to learn about and make Japanese sweets alongside a confectionary connoisseur! Cultivate lifelong skills, make unforgettable memories, and satisfy your sweet tooth by the sea.

Make Japanese sweets by the sea! Venture to Enoshima Island, near Tokyo,  to learn about the art of wagashi-making from a Japanese confectionary connoisseur.

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
