Tokyo sketches (2) - Enoshima 東京隨筆(二)-江之島和江島神社

Previously in the last story ( https://steemit.com/cn/@scarcity/tokyo-jottings-views-from-skytree-and-tokyo-tower ),
I wrote about some casual sights from the two sightseeing towers in downtown Tokyo. In my earlier trip to Tokyo I did also venture into the suburbs where a different glimpse of the city awaits.

上一次的隨筆略略寫了一些在東京市內兩座瞭望塔的所見。但遠離了市中心，近郊地區卻有另一番景象，但亦同樣引人入勝。

Setting off in early Sunday morning. A shot taken at a platform of Yokohama station.

星期日一大清早從市區出發，經過橫濱站時隨手拍下了月台一景。

Kamakura station.

鎌倉站。

An unusually crowded railroad crossing. Still a lovely sight.
頗為擁擠的平交道，平常比較少見。

Travelling on Enoshima Electric Railway 江ノ島電鉄 (Often abbrieviated as ‘Enoden’ 江ノ電). Tons of people on Sunday as lots of local Japanese also spend their weekend with their family here.

假日乘客十分多的江之島電鐵，不少本地人也趁週末與家人出行。

Enoshima station.

到達了江之島站。

Just outside the station there are a few metallic bird statues. Some nice pieces of art they have got there.

站外居然擺設了數隻小鳥雕像，為附近增添了景觀。

On my way to the Enoshima island.

前往江之島的路上。

Crowded marketplace right when I stepped onto the island.

剛踏上江之島便迎來繁忙的市場。

Bought a croquette, nice and hot

不忘買了一個我最愛的可樂餅，熱騰騰十分可口。

Heading towards Enoshima Shrine.

前去江島神社。

Nearly the time of Tanabata Matsuri 七夕祭. Japanese have a custom of writing wishes as a way of celebrating. I happened to see a batch of local students at the shrine as well.

時近七夕，不少日本人亦遵循習俗把願望寫下然後掛起來。碰巧在神社看見了一群本地的學生。
