There's no doubt that festive illumination events are beautiful, but they do have an environmental impact. The Enoshima Yacht Harbor ECO Christmas Illumination aims to shine an eco-friendly light (no pun intended) on the popular winter tradition, with 40 yachts set to be illuminated using electricity supplied from EV (electric vehicles) and FCV (fuel cell vehicles).
During the day, the harbor will be showcasing some of those vehicles, and there will also be a variety of hands-on workshops that attendees can take part in.
Admission to the event is free of charge.
Getting there
The closest station to Enoshima Yacht Harbor is Katase-Enoshima Station, which is served by the Odakyu Enoshima Line. From the station, the yacht harbor is just under 20 minutes away on foot.
For those who opt to drive, parking is available – it's charged at a rate of 300 JPY per hour (for standard-sized vehicles) up to a maximum of 1500 JPY per day.
