Tips
Practical notes from my trips to exploring Kanagawa for its bus: confirm the latest hours on the official website, buy tickets in advance when you can, and leave extra time for trains and walking between stops. Keeping your first day lighter also helps you enjoy the second day without feeling rushed.

During my visit I went with a rough plan and found that leaving room to wander made the trip far more memorable. Plan the essentials, keep your schedule flexible, and you will leave Kanagawa wanting to return.
