此次造訪東京，順道搭乘JR橫須賀線（或湘南新宿線），前往神奈川縣的湘南地區，遊覽鎌倉與江之島。
During this visit to Tokyo, we took the opportunity to ride the JR Yokosuka Line (or Shonan-Shinjuku Line) toward Shinagawa and Yokohama, exploring the Shonan area in Kanagawa Prefecture, including Kamakura and Enoshima.
鎌倉是鎌倉幕府的發源地，始於西元1185年，標誌著日本封建時代幕府政權的開端。
Kamakura, the birthplace of the Kamakura Shogunate, established in 1185, marks the beginning of Japan’s feudal era under shogunal rule.
鎌倉幕府由武將源賴朝創建，他擊敗貴族階級的平清盛一族，建立幕府政權。 此後，日本天皇淪為象徵性傀儡，鎌倉幕府成為實際的政治中心，標誌著天皇與貴族掌握實權時代的終結。
The Kamakura Shogunate was founded by the warrior Minamoto no Yoritomo, who defeated the aristocratic Taira clan led by Taira no Kiyomori, establishing shogunal rule. Thereafter, the Japanese Emperor became a symbolic figurehead, with the Kamakura Shogunate serving as the true political center, marking the end of the era dominated by the Emperor and aristocracy.
漫步鎌倉的商店街，發現當地日本觀光客約占八成，許多日本年輕家庭帶著可愛的孩子一同遊玩，熱鬧溫馨。
Strolling through Kamakura’s shopping streets, we noticed that about 80% of the visitors were Japanese locals, with many young Japanese families bringing their adorable children, creating a lively and heartwarming atmosphere.
鎌倉的商店街與台灣淡水老街頗有幾分相似，店家販售各式雜貨、服飾與日用品，還有當地特產的白色小魚乾、現烤米仙貝及多種口味的冰淇淋，熱鬧非凡。
Kamakura’s shopping streets bear a striking resemblance to Taiwan’s Tamsui Old Street, with shops offering a variety of trinkets, clothing, and daily necessities, alongside local specialties like dried whitebait, freshly grilled rice crackers, and an array of ice cream flavors, creating a vibrant and bustling atmosphere.
然而，由於老街的商業化，鎌倉市景周邊不如想像中獨具特色。
However, due to the commercialization of the old streets, Kamakura’s cityscape lacks the distinctive charm one might expect.
此次旅行中最引人入勝的名勝是江之島，這座沙洲小島位於片瀨江流入相模灣的出海口，風景獨特迷人。
The most captivating destination on this trip was Enoshima, a charming sandbar island situated at the mouth of the Katase River as it flows into Sagami Bay, offering stunning and unique scenery.
江之島憑藉其獨特的小島風情，發展成為日本知名的觀光勝地。 前往江之島的途中，最令人驚艷的是江之島電鐵線（江ノ島電鉄線）的迷人景致。
Enoshima, with its distinctive island charm, has become a renowned tourist destination in Japan. On the way to Enoshima, the most captivating experience is the scenic journey aboard the Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden Line).
江之島電鐵線全長10公里，採用與台灣日治時期鐵路相同的1.067公尺窄軌規格。 其獨特之處在於列車行駛於傳統鐵路軌道與市區小鎮的平面道路交錯之間，風景與氛圍別具一格。
The Enoshima Electric Railway, spanning 10 kilometers, operates on a 1.067-meter narrow gauge, identical to the tracks used in Taiwan’s railways during the Japanese colonial era. Its charm lies in the unique way the train navigates both conventional rail tracks and the intersecting streets of small towns, offering a distinctive scenic and atmospheric experience.
江之島電鐵線穿梭於市區軌道，與行人、商家和住宅交織一體，彷彿重現古早小火車的時空交錯之感，構成一幅趣味盎然的畫面。
The Enoshima Electric Railway weaves through urban tracks, intertwining with pedestrians, shops, and residences, evoking the nostalgic charm of an old-time train and creating a delightfully picturesque scene.
江之島電鐵線為台灣人所熟知，源於漫畫《灌籃高手》的經典場景，湘南高中的火車畫面正是以江之島電鐵線的沿海景觀為背景。
The Enoshima Electric Railway is well-known among Taiwanese fans due to its appearance in the iconic anime Slam Dunk, where the train scenes at Shonan High School feature the scenic coastal backdrop of the Enoden Line.
江之島電鐵線融合了台灣九份鐵路與高雄輕軌的特色，車廂內卻多了日式精緻與溫暖的懷舊氛圍，充分展現其獨特的日式鐵道風情。
The Enoshima Electric Railway combines elements of Taiwan’s Jiufen railway and Kaohsiung’s light rail, yet its carriages exude a refined Japanese elegance and a warm nostalgic charm, embodying the distinctive allure of a classic Japanese train.
