Kamakura was the ancient capital of Japan and now a major day trip spot both for Japanese and foreign tourists. Start your tour in Tokyo so you do not need to worried about transportation from/to Tokyo!
Take the JR train forabout 1. 5 hrs and Eno-den, the local lovely train in Kamakura.
The Great Buddha is the second largest Buddha in Japan and surprisingly it is located in open air!
Hase temple is famous for flowers especially hydrangea so you can enjoy various flowers in season. There are also many interesting Budda, Kannon, and gods of wealth so you can make a wish to be rich!
For lunch, you can eat typical local foods there. Kamakura is famous for seafood but if you do not like it, other food can be arranged based on your request.
