Fujisawa is known as an inn town on the Tokaido, but the city is also home to Shojokoji Temple (Yugyoji Temple),
the head temple of the Jishu sect of Kamakura Buddhism.
Even now it is still dotted with historical buildings and sites along the old road.
One of these roads, which runs from the front of Yougyo-ji Temple to Enoshima is called Enoshima Road,
and was visited by many people during the Edo period when the belief in Benzaiten (the goddess of mercy) flourished.
The “Katase Old Road/Enoshima Road Course” introduces a walking route from Fujisawa Station to Enoshima.
You can visit many shrines and temples, if you take the Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) from Enoshima to Kamakura Station.
Although Buddhism in Kamakura spread among samurai and ordinary people, there are also places, such as Goryo Shrine,
founded in the Heian period, where the national government and aristocrats were the main worshippers.
A stroll from Fujisawa to Enoshima and Kamakura will allow you to experience a slice of history from various eras.
