Find Hotels in Kamakura, Japan

My family of 3 senior elders stayed at Sotestu Fresa Inn Kamakura Ofuna for 4 nights for our travel in Kanagawa province. The hotel is very close to Ofuna train station with just 5 minutes walk, which easy to commute to other cities of our destination such as Yokohama, Kamakura, Fujisawa, Hakone. There are many stores and restaurants around the hotels which is great to spend your time shopping and eating. The room is clean, a bit cramped but that is what most hotel in Japan is. The facilities are in full-functions. The cafe is connected to the hotel which convenient for breakfast with only 550 yen per person which considered quite cheap for a meal in Japan. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They always welcome and send you off with smiles on their faces. We had a pleasant time.

Location was good, with plenty of restaurants and shops around, plus a few cultural attractions, and it wasn't far from Kamakura, where you'd naturally want to go if staying in the area. The few times we interacted with staff they were polite and helpful. The rooms were typical Japanese - relatively small, but the bathroom was very good size, and everything was comfortable. Booked last minute and thus had to take a smoking room, but while the floor smelled bad, the room itself didn't. Overall was very happy with my stay.

Breath Hotel is a fantastic find on the shores of Fujisawa. I had booked a two night stay in order to relax and visit Enoshima Island. Upon arriving at the train station, I realized that I had booked the wrong dates and had arrived a day early. Ahhh!!! I called the hotel, they sent a van to pick me up, and graciously sorted out MY mistake. My reservation was changed and I was given a much nicer room for around the same price that I had booked my smaller room through Agoda. So, book through the hotel if you can! From the moment I called to the moment I left, the staff treated me like royalty. The rooms were superb! I recently stayed at a 5 star Hyatt in Seoul and wished that that room was like the Breath Hotel rooms! The bedrooms were spacious w/several amenities included. But, the bathrooms...OH MY. They were suites. A huge jetted tub, waterfall shower, sauna machine, water closet, sink area with a plethora of samples & amenities. I didn’t want to leave & can’t wait to return!!

Hotel is so nice and clean. It near Fujiwara train station then is easier to travel in Kamakura in one day. A lot of restaurants are located near this hotel and moreover, reception can speak English very well 👍👍 you can walk from train station to hotel only 3 mins and it is near to Bic camera store. Moreover, it is easy to buy day pass ticket to Kamagura only 660 yen.

Spent four days and three nights at 8Hotel. The building is relatively new and meticulously clean environment. Lots of local restaurants nearby. The hotel can be reached in less than 5 minutes walking from the nearest train station. There's also tuk-tuk (three-wheeled public transport commonly found in Thailand) service free every Sunday to take you around the neighborhood. You can also rent bike from the hotel to explore around the city. Take the electric tram from nearby Tokyo line to go to Kamakura, the view during the trip is pretty dazzling with vast ocean on one side and Kamakura mountains on the other.

Hostel is literally brand new with modern facilities including a spacious restaurant and common bath house (an artificial onsen). Beds were very comfortable. Lockable cabinet in rooms. Breakfast was included and was very basic (toast, cereal, juice, tea) but still nice. Hostel is a little far from Kamakura station (20 minute walk) if you have big bags, but there is an Enoden (local train) stop 5 minutes away that connects to kamakura station. This was easily the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed my stay in a Plage Yuigahama. I was a perfect location for me since I wanted to stay near the beach which is only 3 minutes away by foot. You can also go to Enoshima Island which is about 7km from the Guesthouse. The closest convenience store is about 3 minutes away (Lawson) and the city center is also within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Kamakura again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is near the station, plenty of restaurants around, a few stops from kamakura. We got a big confortable double bed. The staff is so attentive, even if they dont speak much English. We can only complain about the toilet, it was really old and not too clean for Japan standards. Also if you are tall you will have problems taking a shower as the roof is too low.

The Fujisawa branch is typical of all the Tokoya Inn groups hotels I have previously stayed at.I ti s also extremely good value for money.Front desk: Multi lingual,efficient,calm and helpful. Rooms: Small, but larger than many in Japan,but extremely well appointed...contained everything I would ever need for my stay of one week. Spotlessly clean and all bedding and towels changed daily. In conclusion. This is an extremely well run city centre hotel run by a happy and efficient staff. Only drawback, and this is not just at this hotel,but Japan in general, the 4 or 5pm check-in. Not helpful after a 10,000km flight and early morning arrival into Narita followed by a 2 hour taxi/train journey from the airport. I got there at 8:00 am and had to wait until 5pm to take a shower. But as I say this is not uncommon in Japan.That said, I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone on business, with a family or just traveling. Japanese breakfast buffet, free to all guests, is outstanding and very generous in variety.

I stayed there one night but it was great. It has a menu service so if you don't want to leave the guesthouse, you can ask for food or drinks inside, which I find very convenient. Taito was very kind and understanding when I had to leave my luggage an extra couple of hours. The location is great, very close to Katase-Enoshima station, which is for the trains that leave from Shinjuku, and a 10 min walk from Enoshima Station. Very close to the beach too, to Enoshima and it has a surfing school just around the corner. The room separates female from male with a curtain which some might find uncomfortable so keep that in mind, and there's two shower rooms which are in the first floor right next to the reception, which makes it a little uncomfortable. There's only one toilet in the room floor and another one in the basement. I do recommend this place for people who are going to explore Enoshima and around.

I arrived very late but informed the hotel in the morning, by the time I arrive there's no one but after I called them, their staff came rapidly. The private shower room is very comfortable, which the water is from a nearby hot spring. The temperature is just nice to make me sleep warmly in a cold day. Outside my room is a Japanese style garden, quiet and beautiful. The hotel prepared towel, tooth brush and Yukata, there are tea set in the room. The size of the room is just nice for one person, location also good to find. The owner of the hotel has a restaurant opposite it, I tried their dinner, which is fair and nice.

Overall, a very pleasant stay. We arrived around 1:30 and were able to check in to our room early. The woman who greeted us spoke good English and was very kawaii and Genki! We really felt welcomed by her and a man who worked there whose name was pronounced 'mah key'. They were both very welcoming and sweet. We paid 500 yen for dinner and 500 for breakfast per person and were quite happy with the food. The western breakfast was delicious and the dinner was a whole selection of little Portions, rice, salad, miso, some vegetable/meat soup and fried veggies. A nice change from the ramen we were used to eating :) I think what we wer disappointed with during our stay was the lack of interaction in the evening. Maybe it just wasn't busy season when we went but we expected the bar to be more like a bar (socializing, etc) but it seemed more like a guy made drinks in the corner of his living room if you asked him too. This turned out to be fine though since it meant you were able to relax in peace in the common room at night. This leads into the other potential downside of staying here: we stayed in the twin bunk bed room for two and it is literally no bigger than the bed itself. Very hard to relax or do anything but sleep in. Location: 15 min walk from great buddha, 5 min walk from one of the main temples. 25 minute walk from 'downtown' kamakura (shopping street) but can easily take tram

Our hosts made us feel very, very welcome. They provided great tips for sightseeing in the local area, and made us the best breakfast we had in our whole time in Japan. They also provided some of the best tea and coffee we had in our time in Japan! It felt like we were special guests in their house! We only stayed one night, but if we'd realised how friendly the welcome would be, we'd have stayed longer. Be aware that the room can get some road noise, but the hosts provide ear plugs to keep the noise down if it bothers you.

We arrived early at the hotel to leave our baggage. By the time we return in the evening, the luggage are already placed in our room. Room is the most spacious we have come across in our trip to Japan so far. Hotel staff are very courteous & friendly. Do remember to visit the Fujisawa station tourist info center to get a map to the hotel as it can be quite confusing. However, once you have familiarized yourself with the directions, it is an easy walk to the Fujisawa station. Plenty of shops & eateries around the hotel. Rather than spend too much $ on guesthouses along the Enoshima coast, I will strongly recommend this hotel at a cheaper rate &,high comfort level.

Really nice little guesthouse. Very close to the beach and the nearest rail station kugenuma-kaigan. The area itself is really nice and has a very beach town vibe. The house has a good kitchen, but the lounge area is perhaps a little small for everyone to make use of all the time. The room itself was cosy and cool, some interesting bed sheets (like two enormous towels) but they didn't effect our comfort. A little more expensive than hostels and guesthouses we've stayed at in other areas but appeared to be the cheapest in enoshima. Easy to get to kamakura from here.

This is the 1st time I have encountered a dirty accommodation in Japan. The cutlery are not cleaned properly, I even found egg york stains on the plates provided. The whole kitchen is laced with a layer dirty oil film. You can even spot soy sauce spill in the mini bar fridge. The tap head also fallen off from the tap fixtures. I also spotted uncleared filter bag in the washing machine..............., the list goes on and on The only plus point is the size of the apartment and the location, close to the shopping thoroughfare and Karamura train station.

Pros: 1. Nice house and facilities eg toilet, fridge, amenities 2. Friendly staff to introduce items in the house we can use 3. Real living exp in Japanese calm and peaceful env Cons: 1. Twin Bed Room is really small that cant really fit our suitcase. But the beds and view from outside are great! 2. Unclear direction from Koshigoe Station to Annex. Hope the host can provide a suggested route 3. No convenience store nearby (although it’s not our big problem), the closest one we walked for 30mins around But it’s a great exp to live in Kamakura this calm little town. Thank you!

The place is nice. Walkable from Kamakura Station (5 minutes) and around 15 minutes walk to go to the beach. If you don't mind walking, this is okay. There would be a little walk to the nearest bus station too. Staff is awesome. I'm not sure if it was meant to happen but I used one toilet one time, it was around 11pm but the washlet wasn't working. I went to use the other toilet and luckily, the washlet was working. I never tried the other toilet again. Other than that the place was great. I think it's a little expensive but I think that is the market for the area.
