Kamakura: breakfast at eight, sushi at noon, the sea, and an auberge
Kamakura from the list Hanako's Kamakura locals made: breakfast when EENY opens at eight, sushi and sake at a counter at noon, coffee after a walk on Zaimokuza beach, an early dinner at OLTREVINO in Hase, and a night by Yuigahama.
Go Friday to Monday: EENY closes on Tuesdays, the sushi counter on Wednesdays, OLTREVINO on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We have no printed price for the auberge; the dinner figure is the three courses Hanako's reader orders, wine not included.

Times are the editor’s plan, not a timetable. ≈ marks our own rough estimate; check the train times before you go.
Per person, one adult. Each place’s figure is what its source printed, and the stop names the source and the date; the fares are the operators’ own published figures. Meals and rides with no printed figure are not in the total, and a figure printed more than a year ago says so. Converted at the European Central Bank reference rate of 2026-09-24, not a bank rate.
