Included in the route is a short (Script error: No such module "convert".) section of street running between Template:STN and Template:STN stations. However, the entire line is governed under the Script error: No such module "Nihongo". 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).

The (third) Enoshima Electric Railway Co. was formed on 1 September 1981 as a subsidiary of Odakyu.[4]

Popular culture
