A short trip: harbour or temples?
Stay in Yokohama for harbour scenery and gardens, 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 a day each to Hase’s two temples and Enoshima. Choose either only with a late departure that leaves time to collect your bags from the hotel after day-two sightseeing and reach the airport.
