A system of two sea-eroded caves (152 m and 56 m deep) at the back of the island, considered a spiritual site and the birthplace of Enoshima Shrine. For centuries, they were a destination for religious pilgrimages. Inside, you can find stone statues and exhibits on local history and folklore. You get a candle to explore the darker sections. The second cave features a statue of a dragon god.

The points located on the backside of Enoshima near the cave are a sight worth seeing. Tidal pools brim with crabs and trapped fish. The backside of Enoshima is the local fishing secret.
