A short trip: Harbour or temples?
Stay in Yokohama for harbour scenery and a garden, or Kamakura for temples and island views. The Yokohama route visits Nippon Maru and the harbour on day one, then Sankeien on day two. The Kamakura route gives Hase’s two temples and Enoshima a day each. Choose either only for a late flight that leaves time to collect your bags from your accommodation after day-two sightseeing and reach the airport.
