Time Out says

A lighthouse complete with a viewing platform, the symbol of Enoshima was opened in 2002 to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Enoden railway line, and functions as the venue for a wide range of events throughout the year. There are a couple of cafés in the area too, so you won't have to worry if hunger strikes.

What’s on

Enoshima Shonan Candle

It's not difficult to guess how Enoshima's landmark tower got its name. With its white facade and cylindrical structure, the Sea Candle observation tower—located only a short hop away from Kamakura—is a fantastic place to catch a 360-degree view of Enoshima's coast and surrounding seaside towns. This autumn, however, the towering torch won't be the island's only candle. From October 11 to November 3, roughly 10,000 wax candles will be placed along Enoshima Sunset Terrace and lit up to illuminate the promenade leading to the tower. Weather permitting, the candles will be there every evening from 5pm, though an announcement will be posted at around 12noon on the venue website if the illumination has to be cancelled.
