Take the subway to Yoyogi-Uehara Station, and the three of them return to the ground and transfer to the train on the Odakyu Line.

Squeezed into the carriage, Naruse dragged the two girls and narrowly grabbed the seats.

"Good to have a seat...... Otherwise, you may have to stand for more than an hour. ”

Starfish held the hand that he had squeezed all the way, his face was a little red, and when he looked at him, he opened his mouth to cover up:

"Why are there so many people in the morning?"

"Like us, they all went to Kamakura."

Naruse quickly looked away, "If you don't come to Tokyo without going to Kamakura, you haven't been to Tokyo...... There seems to be such a statement. ”

"Eh, is Kamakura so important for Tokyo tourism?"

"There was a time when Kamakura meant a lot to the whole of Japan."

“…… You don't want to talk about the Kamakura shogunate, it's boring. ”

"Hehehe......"

Between the shakes, the tram quickly passed two more stops.

"Shimokitazawa—Shimokitazawa, here—"

Sure enough, as Naruse said, more and more people got on the bus.

The tram stopped at the platform, and the starfish turned to look out the window.

"Shimokitazawa, ah......"

Naruse raised his gaze from his phone, "Does Starfish know about this?" ”

"Oh, no...... It's just that some time ago, I seemed to see a band here on Twitter that was quite popular. ”

"What band?"

"A high school girl rock band...... I don't remember. ”

Naruse didn't care, and looked down at the vibrating phone again.

Kazuha: I feel like I'm going to throw up......

“……”

Playing with the mobile phone to play with herself to motion sickness, it really convinced her.

Naruse: Stop playing.

With a rush of electric bells, the tram quickly restarted.

After more than an hour, the train finally arrived in Fujisawa, where the trio changed to the Enoshima Line.

After another five or six minutes, the train stopped at Katase Enoshima Station, where Naruse pulled the two of them alight.

Walking out of the station, Starfish looked back.

"The shape of this station is quite interesting......"

After she and Naoko finished taking the photo, Naruse looked at the map and said, "Let's go to Enoshima first, and then come back and take a slow stroll along the coast of Shonan." ”

"Okay."

Leaving the station, Naruse led the way in front, and before he had gone far, he could already see the sea.

"The sea."

"Well, the sea."

"It's the sea."

The three of them calmly looked at the sea, which they hadn't seen for a long time.

Starfish's head was unexpectedly flexible at this time, "Is it because it's not summer yet, and I can't get excited to see the sea?" ”

Naruse looked at her, and Naoko next to her smiled.

"Perhaps."

He pointed to the green island in the sea ahead, "That's Enoshima." ”

The two were full of anticipation, "Let's hurry over." ”

Along the Bentenbashi Bridge, the trio walked towards Enoshima.

When they looked at the sea, they didn't feel anything, but when they walked up to the Bentenqiao Bridge and actually came to the surface of the sea, they couldn't help but lie on the edge of the bridge together and stare at the waves shaking below for a long time.

"It's still cold this season."

"Hmm."

Starfish looked over: "Wait until summer......

"Let's talk about the summer in the summer."

"Oh."

Continuing on, stepping onto Enoshima from the Bentenbashi Bridge, they really arrived at their first destination of the day.

Looking along the shopping street in front of him, Naruse turned around and found Naoko and Starfish tapping on the bridge when they came.

"Don't take a picture as soon as you come over......"

Click! Click!

The three of them walked forward for a while, and soon came to the bronze torii gate of Ejima Shrine.

"Wow, this torii gate is so rusty......"

"It's been almost two hundred years."

The bronze torii gate is both the first stop on the way to Ejima Shrine and the entrance to the Bencaiten shopping street.

Behind the torii gate is a slope lined with narrow lanes lined with shops selling a variety of Enoshima specialties.

Following the crowd, the three of them casually bought some local specialty snacks and strolled around while eating.

"Ah, there's a post office here."

"Well, can you send a postcard back here, do you want to write it?"

"Is it okay, to write."

Morimi and Hikaru Takikawa didn't come during this trip to Tokyo, and all three chose to write postcards for them.

"I don't know how Kazuha and Hikaru will feel when they receive three postcards at the same time......"

"We'll talk about it then."

After writing the postcard and stuffing it into the mailbox, the three of them continued to walk forward.

When you come out of the shopping street, you will see the large vermilion torii gate of Ejima Shrine.

After taking a few photos, passing through the torii, Starfish looked at the Ruixin Gate on the stairs, turned his head and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Naruse nodded, then walked to the side.

"Eh, don't you go up from here......"

"That's where you go up, there's an elevator over here."

"Huh? Do I need an elevator to go up...... That's not that high, is it? Starfish was surprised.

Naoko looked up, but still followed.

"Escalators?"

"Hmm."

"It's so convenient......"

She looked at the giant navigation map that had been set aside.

"'20 minutes walk, 5 minutes by escalator'...... It took so long to climb up. ”

"It's pretty big up there." Naruse said.

Naoko suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Adults 360 yen...... Is there a charge for the elevator? ”

“…… Well. ”

Naruse couldn't walk.

“……”

He turned his head and looked at Naoko, who was holding him: "Believe me, this shrine doesn't look very tall, and it's still very difficult to climb up." ”

"Shouldn't we just go shopping everywhere when we come out to play, and we're not in a hurry."

"Not ......"

"Let's go." She pulled him back to the stairs.

"Are you still going to go up?" Starfish said as he looked at the two people who walked back.

"Hmm." Naoko smiled at her, "Let's go up." ”

The two walked up the stairs, and Naruse had to follow.

Climb the stairs, pass through the Ruixin Gate, worship the statue of Bencaitian Boy, and then there are four steps connected together.

“……”

Climbing up in one breath, Naoko's chest kept rising and falling, and she was a little panting, but she still smiled just as she looked at the shrine at the end of the stairs.

"Isn't that the end of it?"

Naruse sighed, "Where has this been, half of it hasn't arrived yet." ”

"Eh......"

Halfway up the mountain, this palace is the Benzu Palace of Enoshima Shrine, and the three of them paid their respects here, walked around, and rested by the way.

It is enshrined in the temple of one of Japan's three major Bensaiten, and judging from the introductory text next to it, this tenden is in charge of wealth, wisdom, beauty, and music.

The three of them bowed, and the starfish worshipped particularly sincerely.

"Please give me more wealth and wisdom, and keep my beauty as I am...... Ah, you don't have to be talented in music. ”

“…… If you don't say the last word, the Heavenly Maiden may still take care of you. Guess what the 'wonderful sound' in people's names means? ”

There are many smaller shrines inside Ejima Shrine, such as Yasaka Shrine on the side of the road, and the three of them also visited as they walked by.

Outside the shrine, there is a shrine maiden who sets up a stall and sells ema that has been achieved by good karma for 500 yen each.

"The money to buy two ema is almost enough for three people to go up the elevator."

“……”

Naoko glanced at Naruse, took a spin in front of the stall selling Ema and came back.

Then there are two steps down the staircase.

Roadside lampposts lead the way, with Nakatsu Shrine in front and Okutsu Shrine and Ryugu Shrine further up.

The escalators up and down the mountain are also staged, and the starting point of the second section is on the road to Nakatsunomiya, and Naoko walks through it without squinting.

"Let's go over there."

Before the next flight up the stairs, there is an observation deck next to it.

Standing on the edge of the platform, you can see the bay below the mountain and the Shonan coast looming on the other side.

The three of them rested on the platform for a while, continued upward, first went to the Nakatsu Palace and the Okutsu Palace to pay homage, and finally came to the front of the Dragon Palace.

“……”

Looking at the "Dragon Palace" stacked with stones in front of him, and the "Dragon Palace Great God" lying on top, the starfish wanted to speak again and again, but swallowed the words that might be punished by the gods.

After leaving the Dragon Palace, they walked a long circle, passing through Kunming Square and Boryeong Square, and the three of them came to the observatory lampstand on Enoshima.

Above is a large platform, and a spiral staircase leads to a higher lighthouse with a view of the island.

The sea breeze is gusting and the sun is warm and warm.

Standing on the highest point of the island, looking at the roads and buildings hidden in the bushes below, Naoko exhaled softly.

"It doesn't look like a big place, but it's still quite tiring to walk around......"

Naruse raised his hand to his eyes and looked into the distance, "Let's take the elevator down later, otherwise I won't have the strength to go to other places." ”

She puffed out her mouth and no longer objected.

"Okay."

And the starfish looked at the Shonan coast opposite, and felt that the lighthouse under their feet was still a little short.

"I can't see much from here...... It would be nice if it was half as tall as the Sky Tree. ”

"Where can you build such a large building on an island like this?"

"Can't you?"

"Even if it is built, it will not be stable in this environment...... Besides, there are enough high-rise observation decks in Tokyo. ”

"Okay."

After taking a turn in the lampstand, looking around the island from a bird's-eye view, and taking some more photos, the three of them came down from the menorah and went down the mountain on the electric escalator.

The escalator goes down slowly, and there are electronic screens on both sides, so it won't be boring.

"The Power of Money ......"

"No, it's the power of modern technology."

A few minutes later, returning to the vermilion torii gate at the bottom of the mountain, Naruse looked back at the Ruishin Gate and then at the shopping street below.

"Let's go, go and sit on the river."
