Enoshima Sea Candle

The Enoshima Sea Candle (Japanese: 江の島シーキャンドル), also known as the Shonan Observatory Lighthouse, is an observation tower and lighthouse located in the Samuel Cocking Garden on the small tidal island of Enoshima in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan. The tower has two observation decks, the primary indoor deck and a secondary outdoor deck. The primary deck can be accessed via a central lift or spiral staircase, while the outdoor deck can only be accessed by a second spiral staircase.

Completed in 2003, the Sea Candle was built to celebrate the 2002 centenary of the Enoshima Electric Railway. The original 1951 Enoshima lighthouse was demolished in order to allow for the Sea Candle to be constructed. On New Year's Eve 2002 a ceremony took place to transfer the lighthouse duty, and the observation decks opened to the general public on 29 April 2003.

In 2004, the lighthouse was awarded a Good Design Award under the category Architecture and Environment Design – Environment Design.

Beautiful view of Kanagawa coastline. If you are lucky and air is clear you can also see Mt. Fuji. Don’t forget to spot the Eboshi rock of Chigasaki-Shi.

this is an observation deck shaped like a candle, entrance fee is required but it's worth it when the weather is great with clear sky, 360 view with town, sea and mt fuji. https://t.co/li3mS3NqvP

江ノ島を一望できると共に平塚・湘南・鎌倉などの主要な都市の町並みが眺めることができる、天気が良ければ奥多摩や丹沢・伊豆・富士山の山々や千葉県の房総半島など南側には伊豆大島や新島も眺めます
