Enoden - 江ノ電

The Enoshima Electric Railway (江ノ島電鉄) or "Enoden" (江ノ電) as it is called by the area folk, serves Enoshima, a small island 50 kilometers from Tokyo. Opened in 1910, the 10 km interurban style tramway connects Enoshima with Fujisawa and Kamakura.
Taking this trains brings you back in the past. Although the cars are mostly new, everything along this line seems old. Quite a big difference from the chaotic and hyper-technological JR trains in Tokyo.
