"The journey out to see the Kamakura Great Buddha (Daibutusu 鎌倉大仏) takes less than an hour and is well worth the journey. Taking the JR Yokosuka Line is the fastest and simplest method to reach Kamakura. It goes directly to Kamakura Station from Tokyo Station. The ride costs 940 yen one-way and the ride takes around 57 minutes. You can take the same train from Shinagawa Station for 730 yen. Tip: Nearby is the Hasedara (長谷寺) Temple (https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3101.html), as well as Yuigahama and Zaimokuza beaches (see https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3109.html) "
