Hi! So I am going to Tokyo for a short 3-day trip in September and I am currently planning a day trip to Kamakura as I've haven't had the chance to go before. Would greatly appreciate some feedback/advice on whether my plan is realistic and/or whether I've missed out on anything that is more worthwhile to see than what I've listed below.
One specific concern that I have is that I'm not sure if time is too tight and I've tried to fit too much in one day. For context, I'm solo female traveller in her late 20s.
