Kamakura

Grateful for advise on the following day trip to Kamakura under planning.

Tokyo - Kita-Kamakura Station - Kenchoji Temple - Tsurugaoka Hachinangu Shrine - Kamakura Station (lunch) -bus- Daibutsu - Hasedera Temple - Hase Station - Yokohama (dinner) - Tokyo.

Should I consider the Kamakura Enoshima Free Kippu, the Enoshima Kamakura Free Pass or pay as I travel?

Thanks

JR's Kamakura Enoshima Free Kippu provides a very small discount over regular tickets. But it does not cover the bus to the Daibutsu. Take the Enoden train, instead.

Odakyu's pass is even cheaper, but it would involve considerably longer travel times and is not recommended unless you also visit Enoshima.

Thanks Uji. Just one more question. As I would be travelling to Kamakura during the Golden Week, I guess it would be crowded on the way back to Tokyo via Yokohama by Yokosuka Line. In order to secure a seat, can I first go to Zushi Station from Kamakura before heading back to my destination? Would it be simple like walking to the opposite side of the train platform at Zushi Station and board the train when it comes? Do I need to pay for this stop?

Thanks

It is not covered by the ticket. In theory, you would have to pay for it.
