The sea seen from Enoshima — blue water, blue sky, a sparkling sun, and Mt Fuji faint on the horizon.

Blue sea, blue sky, and a sparkling sun.

Enoshima is a small seaside island in Kanagawa, roughly an hour from central Tokyo by train, and a popular day-trip destination for visitors looking to explore somewhere outside central Tokyo.

I visited Enoshima Shrine on a clear summer day, with the sea and sky almost the same shade of blue and Mt. Fuji faintly visible in the distance.

While visiting Enoshima Shrine, I also enjoyed walking around the area and taking in the sea views.

And then I came across this little traveler — a tortoise out for a walk. Definitely the most unexpected encounter of the day 😄
