Take the JR Yokosuka Line from Tokyo Station to Kamakura. Use Enoden to reach Hase for Hasedera and the Great Buddha. Suica, PASMO and ICOCA work on Enoden. For an Odakyu day pass from Shinjuku, travel via Fujisawa and use Enoden from there.
If you want a shorter day, start with Hase and finish near Kamakura Station. On a wet afternoon, check the Museum of Modern Art’s Kamakura Annex for its current exhibition and opening hours.
Reserve the Romancecar in both directions if you want the direct train to Hakone-Yumoto. Suica or PASMO can pay the base train fare. Buy the reserved limited express ticket separately. The Freepass covers the base fare on the eligible Odakyu round trip and designated local transport, including the Hakone ropeway and sightseeing cruise.
Pick Gora and a museum, or Lake Ashi and a lakeside stop. If the ropeway or boat is suspended, use the bus and focus on one area. Check service status and the ride back to Hakone-Yumoto before committing to a late train.
Start at Tobu Asakusa Station and reserve a limited express seat if taking SPACIA X or another Tobu limited express. The visitor World Heritage Area pass covers the Asakusa rail round trip and eligible local buses. Pay separately for the reserved train and shrine entry. If paying per ride, you can tap a transit IC card on Tobu’s local buses in Nikko.
Keep a first day around the World Heritage area and Tamozawa Imperial Villa. Lake Chuzenji adds a mountain bus journey and different pass coverage. If you add the lake, check the bus return and reserve a train with time to spare.
Book the highway bus out and back, especially on weekends. At Kawaguchiko Station, the red sightseeing bus follows the lake. Use Suica or PASMO on Fujikyu local buses and check the timetable for the specific stop you’ll use.
If Fuji is hidden, take the lake bus to the Yamanashi Gem Museum or choose a lakeside café. Leave room for road delays on the way back to the station. If you have a flight or reserved train that evening, choose a different day.
For Verny Park, start at JR Yokosuka. From Tokyo Station, take a Yokosuka Line train that continues past Zushi or change there. From Shinagawa, Keikyu’s Shioiri is useful for the harbor and Dobuita Street, and Yokosuka-chuo for downtown and Mikasa Park. Save the correct station name for the trip back.
Use Suica or PASMO for ordinary rail rides. A waterfront day can mostly be done on foot. For the Yokosuka Museum of Art at Kannonzaki, take the Keikyu bus and look up the return from the museum stop before leaving town. The Verny Commemorative Museum is a shorter indoor stop near JR Yokosuka.
Take Keikyu to Misakiguchi, then follow the bus destination for Misaki Port or Jogashima. Allow about 25 minutes on the bus to Jogashima before any wait. Eat in Misaki before heading to the coast if your chosen restaurant closes early. In the rain, stay near Urari Marché and the port restaurants.
Use Suica or PASMO for ordinary Keikyu train and local bus fares. Compare the fares you would pay with Keikyu’s transport-only 1-Day Ticket. The Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket also includes eligible buses, one designated meal and one activity or souvenir. From Shinagawa it costs ¥5,000 at the station or ¥3,850–¥5,000 digitally depending on the date. Compare it with the transport and lunch you actually want, then check participating restaurant hours and bus coverage. For a digital pass, show the live screen at the staffed rail gate.
Take a JR Sobu Rapid service from Tokyo Station, then transfer as shown in the route search to the Uchibo Line for Hamakanaya. The ropeway base is about an eight-minute walk from the station. Nihon-ji lists last admission at 3 p.m. and closing at 4 p.m. Check ropeway service and the last descent before heading up, and allow time for the paths and stairs.
The ropeway operator has announced an inspection closure from January 12 through February 5, 2027, with reopening planned for February 6. To visit on foot, take JR to Hota and allow about 30 minutes to reach the Omotesando trailhead, plus time to climb.
If rain or wind changes your plans, have a seafood lunch or visit the Hammers market at The Fish, by Kanaya Port. Save two workable JR departures home before you leave Tokyo. Search from Hamakanaya and check the Uchibo Line transfer as well as the Tokyo-bound train.
From Shinagawa, ride Keikyu to Keikyu Kurihama, then take the local bus from stop 2 to Tokyo Bay Ferry Kurihama Port. The crossing to Kanaya Port takes about 40 minutes. Foot passengers board first come, first served. Kanaya Port is about an eight-minute walk from JR Hamakanaya, so you can plan a JR return if the ferry is canceled.
Keikyu lists a ¥3,510 adult digital round trip from Shinagawa with the train, port bus and ferry. Check eligible travel dates and exchange the digital ticket for a boarding pass at Kurihama Port. For a ferry one way and JR the other, compare individual fares or Keikyu’s one-way package. Choose Kanaya and Mt. Nokogiri as your main outing if crossing the bay. A full Misaki and Jogashima visit deserves its own day.
Start from Tokyo Station for the JR routes to Kamakura, Yokosuka or Hamakanaya. Shinagawa suits the Keikyu trips toward Miura and the ferry. Shinjuku suits Hakone or the Kawaguchiko bus, and Asakusa suits the Tobu train to Nikko. If you’re planning multiple day trips, factor the early ride from your hotel into the decision.
