What is it like to retire in Enoshima?

"Life for a retiree in Enoshima, can be quite serene and culturally enriching. The island is known for its beautiful landscapes, including the Enoshima Shrine, Samuel Cocking Garden, and the Iwaya Caves, which offer plenty of opportunities for leisurely walks and exploration. The Enoshima Aquarium is also a popular attraction, especially for those interested in marine life. The area is not particularly known for a large expat community, but the nearby city of Yokohama has a more significant foreign population. This city is just a short train ride away and offers a variety of international restaurants, shops, and cultural events. Recreational activities in Enoshima are abundant, with the island's beaches being a popular spot for swimming and surfing during the summer months. There are also several golf courses in the surrounding area for those who enjoy the sport. The nightlife in Enoshima is relatively quiet, reflecting the island's overall peaceful atmosphere. However, there are a few restaurants and bars where one can enjoy a relaxed evening. For a more vibrant nightlife scene, retirees can head to Yokohama or Tokyo, both of which are easily accessible by train. Culturally, Enoshima offers a unique blend of traditional Japanese customs and modern amenities. The island is home to several festivals throughout the year, including the Enoshima Tenno Festival and the Lantern Festival, which retirees can participate in or observe. Overall, life for a retiree in Enoshima can be quite comfortable and fulfilling, offering a balance of tranquility, cultural experiences, and recreational activities," wrote a member who made the move to Enoshima, Japan.
