The lines the itinerary names

  • Marunouchi metro line from Shinjuku-gyoemmae to Nishi-shinjuku
  • JR Yamanote train from Shinjuku to Shin-Ōkubo, one stop
  • The little Enoden train from Kamakura to Hase: green carriages that brush the walls of the houses
  • The little Enoden train from Hase to Kamakurakōkōmae, along the coast: the ticket office sells the Noriorikun day pass for ¥800
  • The little Enoden train back to Kamakura
  • Keiō Inokashira train from Shimo-Kitazawa to Kichijōji, where the railway ends

Tickets and fares: the official site

We do not print ticket prices here, and that is deliberate: they change, and a page that quotes them turns false on its own without anyone noticing. We send you straight to the operator.

⚠️ These are the times of OUR itinerary: calculated on the route between two places with real coordinates, not pulled live from the transport service. They show you what a day in Tokyo is shaped like, not what the tram timetable says: strikes, works and queues are beyond us.
