The JR Yokosuka Line runs from Tokyo Station via Shinagawa and Yokohama to Kita-Kamakura and Kamakura. From Shinjuku and Shibuya, the JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line is direct on trains bound for Zushi (otherwise change at Ofuna). For a day that starts or ends at Enoshima, the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku to Katase-Enoshima is cheapest, and Odakyu’s Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass includes the Enoden. Fares are approximate.

Getting around Kamakura & Enoshima
Kamakura: the shrine and Komachi-dori are a walk from the station’s east exit; the Enoden leaves from the west side for Hase (Great Buddha, Hasedera), five minutes away. Buses from the east exit serve Hokokuji. Roads are narrow and jam on weekends, so walking and the Enoden are quicker than buses or taxis.
Kamakura to Enoshima: 25 minutes by Enoden. From Enoshima you can return to Tokyo directly by Odakyu Line, or by the Shonan Monorail to Ofuna.
Hiking: the Daibutsu trail links Kita-Kamakura’s temples with the Great Buddha in about 60–90 minutes through woodland.
