"My wife and I wanted to “slow travel” for a few days and found this place on VRBO. It’s a 100-yr old traditional coastal home.
It is directly across the road (there is a convenient tunnel under the road) from Zaimokuza and Yuigahama beaches and there is a bus stop right outside the door for a 15 min ride to/from Kamakura Station. The #40 bus is reliable and easy. Don’t bother with a taxi.
It is also a 15-min walk to the Enoden train, which follows the coastline and goes to Hase and Enoshima...
"Guesthouse Irodori was very interesting, and I'm happy me and my 88 year old, Japanese-born mother stayed here. At first thought, one would think it very strange that an Japanese/American Grandma and her 64 y.o. American daughter would stay at a "Minshuku" type of house. But, we had made last minute plans to travel to Tokyo for 1 month to visit a family member having surgery. We stayed two nights in Kamakura to look at real estate and visit a friend in the area. This was great for us and allowed...
"This was one of my favorite hostel experiences ever. Makoto, Ana, and Karen are the nicest staff ever, we extended out stay multiple days because we met other amazing people staying at this hostel and became very familiar with Kamakura. Kamakura should be a multi-day trip and you should definitely stay at Iza Kamakura House if you want a really comfortable and laid back place to stay. "
"The room was super clean and the owner was incredibly helpful and nice! We had a pleased stay for a very reasonable price! Would come back on my next trip!"
"So many thing about this place is worth it because the owner is easy going and understand many languages the family in the house are comforting and respectful I walked the area every spot was pretty close and the neighborhood was very nice and you get almost a beach view definitely worth the night being there "
"This is a great place, very convenient to a lot of shopping. The train station was just about a five minute walk a lot of restaurants I recommend this place."
"Casablanca Pool House was an absolute incredible experience they’re so kind and accommodating, the house is so clean upon arrival, having a private pool and outdoor tub is rare to find in Japan especially on a last minute booking ! You have views of the ocean and an island view from the second floor if you rent the whole house, the beach is walking distance along with the train, the shopping and culture is felt at every corner in the surrounding neighborhoods, the food options are incredible, I...
