Enoshima Sea Candle

The Enoshima Sea Candle rises 60 meters above sea level within Samuel Cocking Garden, providing views of Mount Fuji and Sagami Bay.

The current structure replaced a 1951 lighthouse made from remnants of a parachute tower, opening in April 2003 as part of Enoshima Electric Railway celebrations.

The tower stands near Enoshima Shrine, where locals and visitors pay respects to Benzaiten, the goddess associated with music, knowledge, and water.

Visitors can access the observation deck from 9:00 to 20:00, with extended hours during summer months and special illumination events throughout the year.

The reinforced concrete structure functions both as a working maritime lighthouse with a range of 23 nautical miles and as a public observation facility.
