Futamatagawa
Spend a half‑day in Futamatagawa: park, temple and quick train ride, about 3–4 hrs total.
Futamatagawa is a small town in Yokohama, Kanagawa. It is reachable from Tokyo in under an hour by JR Tokaido and Sotetsu lines, and its main attractions are within walking distance of the station. One half‑day is enough for the nature park, Choshoji Temple and a quick look at the zoo, with optional fitness or karaoke visits.
