헤츠노미야

Enoshima Shrine is a three-part pilgrimage route connecting Hetsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Okutsumiya, each dedicated to one of the Munakata goddesses. Getting there involves a real climb from the island entrance. The Enoshima Escar escalators (around 200 yen) take you up if your knees need a break, but they only go one way, so plan to walk down. December brings festive illuminations, and the New Year period draws big hatsumode crowds.

At Hetsumiya, the vermilion torii makes for the most iconic shot on the island.
