The Enoshima Sea Candle (Шаблон:Lang-ja), also known as the Shonan Observatory Lighthouse,[1] is an observation tower and lighthouse located in the Samuel Cocking Garden on the small tidal island of Enoshima in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan.[2] The tower has two observation decks, the primary indoor deck and a secondary outdoor deck. The primary deck can be accessed via a central lift or spiral staircase, while the outdoor deck can only be accessed by a second spiral staircase.
Completed in 2003, the Sea Candle was built to celebrate the 2002 centenary of the Enoshima Electric Railway.[3][4] The Sea Candle was constructed next to the Enoshima lighthouse that was built in 1951.[5] On New Year's Eve 2002, a ceremony took place to transfer the lighthouse duty, after which the old lighthouse was dismantled.[5] The observation decks on the Sea Candle opened to the general public on 29 April 2003.[3]
In 2004, the lighthouse was awarded a Good Design Award under the category Architecture and Environment Design – Environment Design.[6]
