Mibu Masanobu 1897 (Meiji 30) Beside the bronze Torii gate at the north entrance of the island, at the bottom of this picture, the sign reads “new land” indicating this place is the reclaimed ground that was established during Meiji period. At the both sides of the approach to the shrine, the names of inns and hotels, such as “Edo-ya”, “Sanuki-ya”, “Sakai-ya”, “Iwamoto-rou” and “Ebisu-ya” are seen. Going further through the second Torii Gate is a “School”. This is the Enoshima branch of Katase Elementary School, and there was a three story Buddhist pagoda during the Edo period (Today, the community center, Enoshima Shimin no Ie is located.). Going to the southern direction (to the upper part of the map) from the school, there is a “Fukuishi” a stone that a master therapist of acupuncture Sugiyama Kengyou stumbled and reached to the insight of the therapy. Going upward from the stone, there is “Hetsu-no-miya Shrine”. The neighbor of this shrine is “Yasaka Shrine”, and this shrine still exists today. Going eastward from “Hetsu-no-miya Shrine”, there is “Nakatsu-no-miya Shrine” and going even further to the southern direction, a western style building appears on the left. This building was considered a villa of Samuel Cocking, a merchant from Yokohama and he lived here during Meiji period. Going upward from the villa, there is a “Botanical Garden” enclosed with bricks (Today’s Samuel Cocking Garden). Going even further to the southern direction, there is “Okutsu-no-miya Shrine” and going down the steps, there are “Chigo-ga-fuchi“ abyss and “Miiwa (Iwaya)” sea cave. At the left side of the bronze Torii gate, at the bottom of this picture a fishing village “Higashi Machi” is extended. The “Shouten-jima Island” that was swelled out at the time of the Kantou Earthquake is illustrated as if it sticks out from the ocean.
