If you're looking to take a day trip out of Tokyo, Kamakura and Enoshima are the perfect place to go! They're both not too far from Yokohama, and have more of a nature-tourist feel. We started off our day in Kamakura. Walking through the streets of Kamakura proved to be really fun! There were many cute shops where you can buy omiyage. We got some ice cream and continued down the path to the temple at the end! We got to see a wedding, and it was really cool! There were booths where you could buy little food things and it was so fun and beautiful. Kamakura is known for the big Buddha, but because of time, we weren't able to go. We ate yummy soba and tempura at a small shop, and headed out towards Enoshima. Enoshima was BEAUTIFUL. It's definitely more Hawaii-like, with beautiful beaches and a little town feel. We sprinted up the mountain and down so we could see the caves before they closed, and catch the sunset. The caves were very, very interesting. Inside, there were statues that you could observe and read about! It was cold, wet, and you could hear the ocean in the background. After the caves, we caught the sunset on the beach with Mt. Fuji in the background. We got to take pictures and made a few Japanese friends on the way! We traveled back up the mountain to the garden and observatory. At night,we saw the lights and it was very pretty! You could see the stars and city moving while we talked about our day! Overall, Enoshima/Kamakura was really fun! I would recommend going.
