Getting there and away: from Tokyo this is an easy day trip. Again, look to http://www.japanrail.com/JR_hyperdia.html for your best route. The Yokosuka line runs via Kamakura (approx 1 hour). The LP widely suggests getting off the train at Kita-Kamakura, and walking south into town. This allows a visit to Engaku-ji (200Y), which had fantastic fall foliage. Next along we also stopped into low-key Tokei-ji (100Y), which was a women's refuge, and enjoyed wandering through their hillside cemetery. Further along, Kencho-ji (300Y) is worth a visit for the Zen garden and impressive wooden structures. Soon the concentration of shops, restaurants, and tourists increases dramatically. The sheer volume of tourism here is amazing
. We strayed onto a back street and found a diner doing rice bowl with seafood sets for about 1000Y. One can take a short train ride from Kamakura Station to Hase via the Enoden Enoshima line (not the JR line). Your PASMO card is still good here. Hase boasts the famous and impressive Daibutsu, every tourist taking the cliche shot of Buddha's huge bronze head. The Hase-dera temple is not far from there, but had closed for the evening by the time we walked past. In winter, the temples close at 4:30. So, at dusk one can either linger in the souvenir shops and local cafes, or get back on the train to Tokyo. 
Certainly, there is a lot more to see in this area for those with the time. The LP lists a couple hotels for 10000Y. A bicycle may come in handy on the outskirts of town, but Kamakura proper has too much pedestrian traffic to navigate by bike.
