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!!

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 that maximizes the space. Staff is wonderful.

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.

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 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 coffee, snacks and ramen upstairs. *The have free bikes to use. We used the bikes to ride to Enoshima. That in itself paid for the rental. We were so happy we ended up booking another night and skipping out on our next more expensive hotel with smaller room in Tokyo. *The staff was super nice. The first night if they aren't busy they offered to take us to the train station so we didn't have to carry luggage. Location great: lots of breakfast places a short walk away. Most definitely we will be staying here again for more nights. I think this is the few hotels I rated perfect especially for the price.

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.

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 place to nap prior to my late night flight, so I didn't check out much of the facilities besides my tatami mat & pillow. :-)

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 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 morning. Overall, if you're traveling and not spending a lot of time at your accommodation I highly recommend this place!

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.

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 breakfast. (I love Japanese breakfasts!) The owner speaks good English, and he was also kind enough to let me practice my Japanese. This is a budget-conscious guesthouse. Perhaps a large family who prefers luxury hotels would not quite get the appeal of this kind of guest house, but for a solo traveler or a couple, it's a great choice. Next time I go to Kamakura, I will stay at Irodori again. :)
