The route is {{convert|10|km|mi|sp=us}} long and has a [[rail gauge]] of {{RailGauge|1067mm}}. It is [[Single-track railway|single-track]]; however, five of the route's fifteen stations are equipped with [[passing loop]]s, allowing for the operation of bi-directional traffic. Included in the route is a short ({{convert|450|m|adj=on}}) section of [[street running]] between {{STN|Koshigoe}} and {{STN|Enoshima}} stations. However, the entire line is governed under the {{nihongo|[[Rail transport in Japan#Railway and tram|Railway Business Act]]|鉄道事業法|Tetsudō Jigyō Hō}} of the [[Japanese government]], being granted an exception to allow for street running (the only other examples of street-running 'railways' being the [[Keihan Keishin Line]], [[Keihan Ishiyama-Sakamoto Line]] and the [[Kumamoto Electric Railway]]). Trains are electrically powered from [[List of current systems for electric rail traction|600 V DC]] overhead lines. The section from Kamakura Station to Koshigoe is in the city of Kamakura; that from Enoshima to Fujisawa Station is in the city of Fujisawa. |

The Enoshima Electric Railway or Enoshima Dentetsu Line (江ノ島電鉄, Enoshima dentetsu), also known by the abbreviation Eno-den (江ノ電), is a Japanese railway which connects Kamakura Station in Kamakura with Fujisawa Station in Fujisawa, Kanagawa. Stations en route include Hase, the stop closest to Kōtoku-in, the temple with the colossal outdoor statue of Amida Buddha. The railway is fully owned by the Odakyu Group of companies.
Route and operations[edit]
The route is 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) long and has a rail gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). It is single-track; however, five of the route's fifteen stations are equipped with passing loops, allowing for the operation of bi-directional traffic. Included in the route is a short (450-metre (1,480 ft)) section of street running between Koshigoe and Enoshima stations. However, the entire line is governed under the Railway Business Act (鉄道事業法, Tetsudō Jigyō Hō) of the Japanese government, being granted an exception to allow for street running (the only other examples of street-running 'railways' being the Keihan Keishin Line, Keihan Ishiyama-Sakamoto Line and the Kumamoto Electric Railway). Trains are electrically powered from 600 V DC overhead lines. The section from Kamakura Station to Koshigoe is in the city of Kamakura; that from Enoshima to Fujisawa Station is in the city of Fujisawa.
Stations[edit]
The entire line is in Kanagawa Prefecture

History[edit]
The original Enoshima Electric Railway opened the line on 1 September 1902.[4]
The company subsequently went through a series of ownership changes: Yokohama Electric Railway Co. in 1911, Tokyo Electric Power Co. in 1921, (second) Enoshima Electric Railway Co. in 1926, Tokyu Corporation in 1938, Enoshima Kamakura Tourist Co. in 1949, and Odakyu Electric Railway Co. in 1953. The (third) Enoshima Electric Railway Co. was formed on 1 September 1981 as a subsidiary of Odakyu.[4]
Popular culture[edit]
Gokurakuji Station is one of the settings for the 2015 film Our Little Sister.[5][unreliable source?]
Japanese alternative rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation's fifth studio album, Surf Bungaku Kamakura (released 2008), had each track named after a stop on the railway line starting with Fujisawa and ending with Kamakura. The band has since announced a continuation of this album for the rest of the stations that did not originally have a song, starting withYanagikōji Parallel Universe releasing as a B-side track in 2022.
