Enoshima Island
Enoshima is a small island off the coast of Kamakura. According to legend, it was formed in 552 AD when a goddess named Benzaiten emerged from the sea and tamed a five-headed dragon that was terrorizing the nearby village. The dragon and the goddess fell in love and became the protectors of the island. Benzaiten is the patron of music and art, and many people visit her shrine on Enoshima to pray for her blessings. The shrine is also famous for its colorful statue of Benzaiten with eight arms. Enoshima has been a popular tourist destination since the Edo period, especially for Kabuki actors who admire Benzaiten’s talent.
