Koshigoe Fishing Port stands just in front of Enoshima Island. It has a long history and was first used as a fishing port in the year 1189. The most common catches are baby sardines, mackerel, and octopus. The view of Enoshima from here is very beautiful. Next to the port is a tiny cape, and the small Koyurugi Shrine.
