This Nov/Dec, I am staying at the Sheraton Yokohama and do plan on going south the Kamakura. Do you have any tips on getting there. I heard there's some kind of a local rail pass available? (No, not the JR Rail Pass, which I'm not getting this time around since it won't be worth it - I'm only around Tokyo/Yokohama instead of taking Shinkansen trips to Kyoto/Osaka) If so where do I buy it?
Yes theres a ticket called the "Kamakura Enoshima Free Kippu" from Yokohama Station its 1130yen. You can purchase it at the ticket office inside the station.
It covers the roundtrip from Yokohama to the Kamakura area and unlimited rides on the Enoden train (if you plan to go to Hase Station from Kamakura Station to see the giant budda statue) and its also valid on the Shonan Monorail.
