Perched on the heights of Enoshima, Samuel Cocking Garden offers a serene escape with its lush botanical displays and a striking greenhouse built by British merchant Samuel Cocking in the late 19th century. Visitors can stroll through seasonal flower beds, including roses and tulips, and enjoy sweeping views of Sagami Bay. The garden also houses the Enoshima Sea Candle, a modern observation tower that provides a 360-degree vista of the coastline and Mount Fuji on clear days.
