About twenty minutes' walk from Fujisawa station, Tengakuin is a blissfully serene temple, surrounded by greenery. Even though it's just off a main road, it's largely insulated from the noise of the traffic, with only birdsong to break the silence. I visited on a beautifully warm, sunny day, but there were no other visitors at all, so I could enjoy the restful atmosphere at my leisure.

Staying in Fujisawa, we went to Enoshima and then had no time to explore Fujisawa. I bet we missed good places!
Not that much to be honest - there are a couple of nice temples, and the Ukiyo-e museum at the next station is good, but Enoshima and Kamakura are the main draws around there.
