Visitors are immediately captivated by the Sea Candle’s sleek, futuristic design, which contrasts beautifully with the island’s lush greenery and the azure waters of Sagami Bay. The tower’s exterior, with its smooth white façade, seems to blend seamlessly with the clouds, while the glass-enclosed observation deck provides unobstructed views that are nothing short of breathtaking.
As you ascend to the observation deck via a glass elevator, the panoramic vistas unfold before you. On clear days, you can gaze out over the sparkling waters of the bay, the bustling cityscape of Fujisawa, and even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji on the horizon. The view is particularly enchanting during sunset when the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, and the city lights begin to twinkle like stars.
The Enoshima Sea Candle is not just about the views; it’s also an experience of interactive and educational exhibits. The observation deck features displays that provide information about the history of the lighthouse, maritime navigation, and the rich cultural heritage of Enoshima Island. There’s also a charming café where visitors can relax and enjoy refreshments while soaking in the spectacular surroundings.
At night, the Sea Candle becomes a focal point of Enoshima Island's illuminated skyline. The tower is adorned with colorful lights that change with the seasons and special occasions, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that draws visitors from near and far.
