From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Enoshima Electric Railway or Enoden (江ノ島電鉄 Enoshima dentetsu?)connects Kamakura Station in Kamakura, with Fujisawa Station in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Stations en route include Hase Station, the stop closest to Kōtoku-in, the temple with the colossal outdoor statue of Amida Buddha. It is fully owned by the Odakyu Railway Group of companies.

[edit] Train line
The train line measures 10 kilometers in length with a gauge of 1067 mm. It connects fifteen stations with a single track; five of those stations can accommodate two trains to allow bidirectional traffic. The trains operate on 600 VDC electric supply from overhead lines. The segment from Kamakura Station to Koshigoe Station is in the city of Kamakura; from Enoshima Station to Fujisawa Station, the line is in the city of Fujisawa. Until recently the trains were quite rickety and cramped, until they upgraded to a modern trainset, although trains still pass a few feet from doorsteps of homes and shops.
