Yokohama is known for being Japan's first port to open Japan up to international trade. Its atmosphere is completely different from Tokyo, primarily due to Western influence. Not far from there are Kanagawa Prefecture's famous Kamakura and Enoshima. Kamakura is a popular spot for many who mainly come to see the Great Buddha. It's old historical streets and shrines everywhere gives you a sense of Kamakura's laid-back vibe. Hop on a train and within minutes you'll reach the Shonan regions small island Enoshima. Despite being so close to each other, the different ambiance is surprisingly big. Only an hour from Tokyo, the beaches at Kamakura and Enoshima are the closest beaches making it the place to go to during the summer. With a lot of things to do, eat, and see in the area Kamakura and Enoshima are a perfect one-day vacation destination from Tokyo. 
 

JOINUS is a large shopping mall in Yokohama. The location is excellent and the stores are filled with current trends internationally and in Japan. For example, stop by for a bite at a neat restaurant that has a camping theme, camp express. Find interesting accessories at COTOMONO MARCHE. Then there is a store that sells miscellaneous goods used in everyday life such as fashion, interior goods, and kitchen supplies but has a little bit of a comical flare, George's. Along with many clothing, beauty reality, restaurants, coffee shops, and souvenir stores.

Kamakura is definitely a place that is worth visiting. And to think that only spending 1000yen (roughly a little less than $9) can get you a day pass to ride the train all around and see all these places! After trying it for ourselves we are glad we took the deal.
