The Enoshima Shrine consists of three shrines located across Enoshima island. The Hetsunomiya shrine is the one closest to the footbridge by which one can access Enoshima island. The shrine is located several stairways above the main street. After climbing the many stairs, visitors arrive to the blessing circle. By walking through the circle three times, the pilgrim will be blessed with good health. Also, a small pond is located on-site where coins may be washed before attempting to throw them into an offering box; a nice way to rid yourself of your impurities and test your luck! The other two shrines are Nakatsunomiya and Okutsunomiya.
