"This hotel is super close to Kamakura Station, just a short walk after you exit. It was packed over the weekend, but I loved its minimalist, wabi-sabi style. The room size was quite comfortable, definitely giving off a vacation vibe. The location is unbeatable – there's a Muji and The North Face downstairs, a local supermarket across the street, and tons of shops all around. Komachi-dori is also within walking distance. The whole area is really bustling, but the hotel itself offers a peaceful escape from the noise. I had a great time staying here, shopping and exploring. A fantastic hotel truly made for a super healing trip to Kamakura!"
"It is located in small road and by 4pm you cannot drive on that road so best to check in 3pm. The hotel has parking lots chargeable 1,900 yen per entry till next day 1pm. I didnt use the car once parked and mostly walk around komachi street it is like 8 mins walk. So i am unsure if it allows multiple entries of the car park. Check in smooth, 3pm dropped off bags in room. Went exploring. It has coffee machine to use and public onsen. Similar to onyado but this does not have the ice creams or ramen. But as after heavy walking day, dipping in hot pool and relax is awesome. I stayed in double bunk bed and space was huge. Had a bath tub in shower and separate toilet bowl to allow diff ppl using for diff purpose for getting ready. That day early june typhoon was incoming so it was a rainy day. Was able to borrow an umbrella as car parking lot is about 5 mins walk. Also coffee machine is free to use, grab a coffee before leaving dor the day exploring Kamakura. Overall, really nice place to stay and near the station for those not driving."
"Wonderful 3 night stay at a sleepy seaside town. Easy access via Enoden to Kamakura & Enoshima. Restaurants close around 8 so be sure to have early dinner. Try sweet potato crepes by the beach and beware of hawks swooping in for your food. Nearby up the slope is a small dining and shopping area with a supermarket & fantastic ramen shop. Note to take free shuttle bus from busstop next to station or inclined elevator via banquet hall from main road (or risk having to pull luggages up a steep slope!). Tip if heading straight to Airport. Book Narita Express no. 27 from Ofuna direct to Narita Airport. Simply take an Enoden from Shichirigahama station to Enoshima station. Then, walk to the building behind and take Shonan monorail to Ofuna for a quiet ride with luggages."
"This hotel is hard to describe.
The location is fantastic, just a five-minute walk from JR Kamakura Station, and its exterior is very distinctive, going for a natural, minimalist style.
But it's *too* minimalist. There's no wardrobe in the room, no sofa to relax on, just a small stool, and not even a bedside lamp. I don't really care about the lack of a TV, though.
It felt like I was staying in a tiny solitary confinement room.
Breakfast wasn't a buffet; it was a small set meal that had to be pre-ordered, and it wasn't enough to fill me up.
The service was friendly but a bit distant."
"The staff were very friendly, and as soon as I arrived at the front desk, I knew I'd made a good choice. They had the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, and breakfast included dessert, making it feel more like dinner. The Kamakura vegetable salad was beautiful and delicious, and the freshly baked bread was so good I had seconds.
However, it's a bit far from the station, so I took a taxi; I wish the hotel offered a pick-up service."
"This was my first time traveling abroad, my first time traveling alone, and my first time flying alone. The hotel receptionist, Umiya, was Japanese, and we communicated in English just like good friends. In the evenings, the common area was filled with people from all over the world – Filipinos even gave me snacks, and there were Koreans, French, and Argentinians. It felt like a crossroads, forming a big, temporary family. It's also incredibly close to Kamakura Beach, just a short walk away. This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at."
"The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly. The room was spotless, and I was extremely satisfied! The breakfast truly lived up to its reputation; it was absolutely delicious and made for a wonderfully elegant experience. I would absolutely love to return!"
"Conveniently located around many restaurants and attraction sites. It's old , rustic and got a charm, but definitely a backpacker experience for those who may see if the pictures may mean a host/bnb home.
Overall I enjoyed it a fair amount! Did hikes and close walk to the sea too!"
"It's very close to the station, very clean, and everything is new.
However, the bathroom is shared, which is a bit inconvenient.
There are two toilets, and the overall soundproofing is so-so.
But it has a very Japanese atmosphere and is very clean."
"It's a little far from the station, but it's close to the sea and has a lot of local feeling. The interior of the historic building can be felt particular. There is a drink bar where you can drink coffee. I became a fan completely. Thank you for your help."

Amazing
GGuest UserStayed at this hotel for my trip to Kamakura. It's right next to JR Ryogoku Station, and there's a monorail nearby that goes directly to Kamakura. The room was clean and comfortable, and I slept really well. The front desk staff were also very friendly. A special shout-out to 'Enja', an izakaya directly opposite the hotel that only opens in the evenings – the food there is absolutely delicious! You definitely have to try it.
WWeizi DavidHad a last-minute change of plans and ended up staying at Sotetsu, and it was surprisingly good! It felt very much like a 'Quanjishangpin' (a Chinese hotel chain known for comfort and value). The room was small but had everything I needed. It was super lucky to even find a room on a weekend, and it was quiet at night. Everything went smoothly.
GGuest UserThe greatest things about this hotel is location and amenities. Location is very close to station, strategic with many food stall and stores, easy to find, and good neighborhood. Also the provide us with so much amenities for free. Basic amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand and face wash, they also provide us with extra like pajamas, cleansing oil, hair curler, bath powder, ice cube, etc. Love to stay again in this hotel
YYangshenmeyang00Out of our five nights and six days in Japan, this was by far the most comfortable sleep we had. I woke up naturally, the soundproofing was excellent, and it wasn't hot at all. The transportation nearby is very convenient. Next time I come to Kamakura, I'll definitely stay here again. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, which made communication much easier.
GGuest UserI really like the location that Yuigahama is close. It's just the right size to spend alone, and the amenities are fashionable and substantial. It's nice to be able to drink coffee on the water server. Unfortunately, the bathtub and the washroom are not separate, and when I come to such a place, I still want to relax in the bath, and it is very very disappointing that the bathtub cannot be filled with hot water. I wish I had a public bath nearby. After that, towels and bed sheets were a little damp. As with us, when drying with a drum dryer, it seems to have been dry at that time, but it is not dry enough, and I think it is better to extend the drying time a little more.
GGuest UserThis was the most pleasant stay in Kamakura we had! Glad to have an opportunity to write a review. I went to Japan in beginning of November with my younger brother, the weather was warm. We were intended to stay in Kamakura for 2 days (1 day in beginning and 1 day in the end of our trip). A hotel near both to Enoshima and Kotoku-in. The service was incredible. The room was neat and tidy with AC, TV, balcony and matcha tea set, also we could see a sea from the balcony. Hotel has spacious bathroom with mini onsen. The hostess of the hotel was very polite to us. One time we were late to check in, so we called from reception, and she began to apologize politely and walked down from the top floor to give us the keys to our room. We felt a bit awkward)
Then she gave us 2 towels for free, when they cost 200 yen, it was nice bonus. Btw every time we checked out, a hostess was giving to us postcards =) We had lots of positive emotions. So, I highly recommend this place to stay in Kamakura.
XXianyun622The apartment is small but fully equipped with super functions and a sauna. The location is also good, near Enoshima Station, and you can walk to Kamakura Kokōgōmae Station, Shichirigahama Coastline, and Enoshima.
However, due to the lack of luggage storage, we checked in at 4pm and checked out at 10am the next day, which meant we had to wait an awkward time dragging our luggage along the seaside avenue, which reduced the advantage of the location.
It would be perfect if luggage storage could be set up.
GGuest UserI stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and 3 days, and I really enjoyed the comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. I was surprised that the owner spoke Korean so well, and it was great to be able to converse with them. They kindly recommended restaurants near the hotel, and you can even drink and hang out with them at night. It seems they really love Korean music! If I ever come to Kamakura again, I'd love to stay here.
GGuest UserI didn't check the reviews when I booked. This hotel operates on a fully automated check-in system. As I hadn't received the check-in number via email, I found myself completely stuck at the check-in kiosk. I had to call the hotline. After a lengthy explanation and a long wait, the system still didn't indicate what information was missing. It kept loading for ages, and I was wary of pressing 'back' in case it reset the whole process. Eventually, after waiting too long, I had no choice but to go back, which meant contacting the hotline again. We ended up communicating via WhatsApp to resolve the issue. If you've never experienced such a check-in and are feeling a bit adventurous, you might find it worth a try. The room itself, though, was quite comfortable and clean. However, it only had a high, narrow window near the ceiling, which isn't a problem if you're out of the room during the day.
GGuest UserIt's really close to the station and there's a convenience store nearby.
But the bathroom space is really a bit too small, and there are no shelves to store things, which is not very convenient.
In addition, the hair dryer is also broken and cannot blow hot air out😥
