Perched high on the scenic island of Enoshima, Ryuren no Kane—or the “Dragon Love Bell”—is one of the region's most iconic romantic landmarks. According to local folklore, the bell honors the mythical romance between a once-terrible dragon and the celestial goddess Benzaiten, who inspired him to mend his ways. Today, couples make the pilgrimage to this breezy hilltop haven to ring the bell together for lifelong devotion before fastening an engraved padlock to the surrounding railings. Framed by lush coastal nature and sparkling sea panoramas, it offers an enchanting stop infused with ancient legend.
