Enoshima Aquarium in Fujisawa
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Watch Sagami Bay recreated indoors and out at Enoshima Aquarium, set right on the Shonan sand with Enoshima island to one side and Mount Fuji across the water. The great Sagami Bay tank churns with the local sea's own silver schools, the Jellyfish Fantasy Hall drifts in near-darkness like something dreamed, and dolphins perform with island and mountain as their backdrop. Between the showpieces, Asian small-clawed otters and capybaras handle the soothing — an aquarium that works equally as a family outing and a date.

Frequently Asked Questions
The big Sagami Bay tank, which recreates the sea just outside the windows down to its sardine shoals; the Jellyfish Fantasy Hall, a darkened dome where the jellies drift lit like lanterns; and the dolphin stadium, where the show plays out against a real backdrop of Enoshima and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. The Asian small-clawed otters and capybaras round out the cast.
It's about three minutes on foot from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, and roughly ten from either Enoshima Station on the Enoden or Shonan-Enoshima Station on the monorail — an easy day trip on the Odakyu line from Shinjuku.
Naturally — the aquarium sits by the causeway to Enoshima, so most visitors fold it into an island day: the shrine paths, the sea-cave and lighthouse across the bridge, then the tanks and the Shonan sunset on the way back.
