On Thursday, Laura and I headed to the beach town of Enoshima. It is about an hour train ride away, very near
Kamakura which I visited in February. It's not quite summer here yet so it was still pretty quiet, but a great place to have lunch and walk around.

We had lunch at an Italian restaurant, El Chianti, I think it was some of the best Italian food I've had in Japan so far. I think we'll have to go back and enjoy a bottle of wine and the ocean views.
After lunch we went to the Enoshima Aquarium. It was small, but very well done. They even had a dolphin show. We couldn't understand what they were saying, but dolphins are always fun to see. Even better, this was Laura's first ever dolphin show. She has never been to Sea World. Crazy girl. We also enjoyed the Sagami Bay exhibit which had all of the fish that live off the cost of Enoshima. They had a huge school of fish which was amazing to watch.


I think another highlight of the aquarium was the
Dr. Fish exhibit. Apparently there are spas in which you can stick your feet in these pools and let the fish eat away the dead skin on your feet! Well here you could stick your hands in the shallow pools and let them do the same. It tickled too much to let them do it for too long, I don't think I could let them eat my feet!


After the aquarium we went to Enoshima island and went up and down about a million stairs. We took in the views, saw the shrine and walked some more stairs. Next time we're going to go to the caves and maybe the light house/observatory. We couldn't do anymore stairs today!

An excellent adventure day with my friend Laura!
