“Picture Island” Near Kamakura

We’re showing you this unused old postcard’s English caption, though the real name of the island is Enoshima, off the Shōnan coast of Kanagawa Prefecture. It’s known for the Enoshima Shrine, with statues honoring Benzaiten, the Buddhist goddess (called Benten, Goddess of Luck, in the caption).  The Iwaya Caves feature tidal pools and Buddhist statues; popular mainland beaches are nearby.  Grade: 1
