At a Glance
The Enoshima Sea Candle is an observation tower and lighthouse on the small tidal island of Enoshima, in Fujisawa, Kanagawa. It stands in Samuel Cocking Garden and has two observation decks. The main deck is indoors and reached by a central lift or a spiral staircase, while the outdoor deck can only be reached by a second spiral staircase.
The tower was completed in 2003 for the 2002 centenary of the Enoshima Electric Railway, and its decks opened to the public on 29 April 2003. It was built next to the 1951 lighthouse, Japan's first privately built one, which was dismantled after the new tower took over on New Year's Eve 2002. The name Sea Candle was chosen in 2010 by public call, after the tower's distinctive shape. It won a Good Design Award in 2004.
