Plan for a quiet stop: Nakatsunomiya is described as calmer than other spots on Enoshima, making it suitable for reflection and a slower visit.
Visit early in the day (the shrine opens at 8:30 AM) to experience the tranquil atmosphere at its best, as this hillside shrine offers a quieter, more peaceful ambiance compared to the busier main Hetsumiya shrine below.
Take time to admire the distinctive Gongen-zukuri style architecture, which was reconstructed to mirror the original 1689 design commissioned by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth shogun, making this shrine architecturally different from other shrines on the island.
Look for the suikinkutsu (water cave) located at the rear left side of the shrine where you can try water fortune-telling by dipping paper fortunes in water to reveal your fortune.
Combine worship with a short scenic walk: the shrine sits on Enoshima's hillside mid-level, with coastal views from the area.
Look for the historic stone lanterns and weeping cherry trees donated by famous kabuki theaters like Ichimura-za and Nakamura-za scattered across the grounds, which add cultural significance to your visit.
Part of the Enoshima Jinja complex.
