A Short Trip: Harbor Sights or Temples?
Stay in Yokohama for harbor scenery and the garden, or Kamakura for temples and island views. The Yokohama itinerary visits Nippon Maru and the harbor on day one, then Sankeien on day two. The Kamakura itinerary gives a day each to Hase’s two temples and Enoshima. Choose either plan only with a late departure that allows you to collect your bags at the hotel after day-two sightseeing and reach the airport.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an Enoden day pass for two days in Kamakura and Enoshima?
When staying in Kamakura, the round trip to Hase costs ¥400 on day one and the round trip to Enoshima costs ¥520 the next day, totaling ¥920. The adult day pass costs ¥800 and is valid only on the date of issue, so buying one for each day costs ¥1,600. Ordinary tickets cost less for just the listed round trips. If you make extra stops, compare your actual journeys again.
