Best hotels & accommodations in Kamakura

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...

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 comfort...

We were originally booked in for two nights but with consent of hotel switched to one night and obtained a refund with no strings (because of Typhoon . Location is somewhat outside of Kamakura which is accessible by tram. Clean ocean facing room and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend

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 an...

Very good location. The city is really neat, fun shops and great restaurants, with tunnels and skyways. There is a tunnel from the station that brings you right to the street the hotel is on. Great spot to day trip to Hakone, Enoshima, and Kamakura especially considering the cost was far less than hotels I had found in those locations. The room is laid out in a way th...

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 neighbor...

Classy hotel that makes you think of an old castle from the 18th century. Our room was big (deluxe double room if I remember). Is is well located from the fujisawa station. This is clearly worth the price of the room according to its size (~75€ a night without breakfast on agoda) I 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 ag...

We couldn't believe this was a 2 star hotel. *The room is huge, and bathroom bigger with private onsen (mineral salt with the amneites..ie tooth brush, etc). We even had a sauna in the bathroom. My boyfriend walked out thinking we had the wrong room for the price we paid. We paid under 100 and that included tax. *There are no elevators *No food, but they do have ...

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 sho...

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 tow...

Pros: Bus stop right down the street will take you to Kamakura Stn , Fujisawa or Ofuna Stations to get on/off trains bound for Hakone area or Tokyo. If you are planning to do Kita-Kamakura, it's a short bus ride to Kamakura Station, then either JR Train or walk to Kira-Kamakura. Luggage storage & small private locker available. I only booked the room to have a pl...

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...

I stayed in the dormitory and it was pretty standard hostel style. The bunks each had an extension cord, which was very convenient. However, there were 6 bunks or so and only 1 bathroom (toilet, shower, sink) for everyone to use, so if you have to go somewhere for a specific time, make sure to wake up early. The staff was very friendly. There is free cereal in the morn...

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. Th...

The owner of the guest house is very considerate and friendly. We can use English to communicate smoothly. The room is Japanese style, very clean, cozy and quiet. If you are visiting Kamakura, this place is your best choice because it is two minutes walk from the Koshigoe station.

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 ...

We were the only guests on that day and it was a wonderful stay experience. Friendly host, clean room, and great location. The host also shared with us where to find the good restaurants. Definitely would recommend this hostel to those who plan to visit Kamakura!

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 welcom...

I really enjoyed my stay at Irodori! The location in Kamakura is ideal, and the staff are full of fun surprises -- including the owner dressing up as a warrior, and another staff who does magic tricks! My room was small and quiet and cozy. After my long journey to Japan, I was able to sleep very well. I recommend you opt in to the home-cooked Japanese-style breakfas...

A polite and friendly customer service. Access to major tourist spots is good by bus or bicycle. In addition, this hotel is located in a quiet place. You can relax and rest at night. Even if something happened, they respond quickly. I stayed very comfortably. Thank you so much. I think I'd like to stay again when I visit Kamakura.

at first arrival i took a taxi which cost Y700 for <10min, then found out it's only 15min walk to kamakura station, Kim san & another lady was very kind to clean up the room even i check in 9am, tq so much, the room is very nice with limited space but enough to place a big luggage, the out side big basin & toilet r very convenient, with heated toilet seat & water rinsi...

This place is a really good stay. I met some amazing people here and the staff were amazing. Facilities were clean. Close to the beach, Kamakura, Onsen and local attractions. They even have bikes to rent at a good price so getting around the area is easy. Would defs stay here again.

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 ...

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...

Recommend to who wants to travel to Enoshima and Kamakura. Easy reaching from train station but does need a bit of walking. Very quiet area. Staff was very polite. The room has both capsule cabin and tatami, which was great fun. It was also very clean and functional.

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)...

It’s not special but everything is good for staying. I traveled Kamakura areas with my 11yr old son. Transportation is good and there’re restaurants around this hotel. It’s easy to get some stuff near this hotel if you need. The hotel has large public bath. this is great.

We thought it was fantastic. We travelled with our 3 year old son and he enjoyed the experience of putting out the bedding, and its such a beautiful property, I wish we could have stayed longer and I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Japanese experience.
