What Each Day Looks Like
These describe the character of each place, not a ranking.
Yokohama: The sights cluster along the waterfront: Minato Mirai, the Red Brick Warehouse and Chinatown. It suits shopping, strolling and dining, with short distances between areas.
Kamakura · Enoshima: The sights are more spread out: Tsurugaoka Hachimangu and Komachi-dori, the Great Buddha and Hase-dera, and Enoshima on the Shonan coast. The day leans towards temples, shrines and sea views. Kamakura's roads are narrow and can be congested on weekends and holidays, so leave some slack in your schedule.

Just Need the Airport Leg?
If you have just landed and your hotel is in Yokohama or Kamakura, see Haneda to Yokohama, Narita to Yokohama, Haneda to Kamakura and Narita to Kamakura. Neither city is within Tokyo, so the flat rate for Tokyo does not apply and each has its own price.
