Kamakura - yes, especially if you're into 11th~15th Century
architecture, statues, and gardens. And there's the Daibutsu you can
climb up in and look out his eyes. If you're not into premodern history,
there's lots of different kinds of food and other stuff to buy on the
main roads. But, if you're not into that kind of thing, 2~3 days max.

Odawara - There's the castle and the zoo.  After that, you've got four 
more days, unless you want to use it as a jumping-off point to Hakone 
(Yugawara and Fuji Five Lakes).

Mishima and Chigasaki - Well, there's probably a big department store at 
the station.  Maybe you have a guidebook that tells of more stuff.  If 
it's there, it isn't famous.
