love this place!!! masa, one of the staff, was kind and welcoming, and had an extensive conversation about our cultures and differences. he’s fluent in english, but we also communicated in japanese and he was very keen for a chat. the room itself was lovely, the only downside i had about it was the smell of some of the other travellers but that really can’t be helped (not their fault at all!) the facilities were kept clean and tidy, and the lounge area was chill and cozy. fantastic place kept by fantastic people. will be back soon! またね！

It was Yorukame-san's time where I was able to enjoy the South Indian meals with the flavor I was looking for.All of the items I received were a combination of my personal ideal tastes, and I was extremely happy.The mouthfeel delighted the taste buds, and the five flavors danced together to create a blissful taste, with an excellent sense of balance and structure that enveloped me in a sweet feeling.The flavors of each dish had a distinct theme, and everyone was in a leading role, but when the whole plate took center stage, the skillful movement of each dish became a wonderful collaboration.Also, I would like to thank the staff for their thoughtfulness and exquisite sense of distance, which was very nice and created a cozy atmosphere.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for providing us with the exquisite South Indian meals that are perfect, with warm and courteous customer service.Thank you very much.It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A guesthouse to feel home, slow down and enjoy every moment. Kamejikan is located in the more quiet neighborhood of Zaimokuza, and is only a 5-min walk from the beach. It is from this side of Kamakura seaside that you can see Fujisan!I highly recommend this guesthouse which has private as well as shared rooms. Please enjoy & rest well.

It's a different space that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. The owner, Masa, had a wonderful personality and the warm and dignified atmosphere of the guesthouse made me feel comfortable. I get the impression that there are many elegant guests from overseas. I took a walk while going out to dinner with friends from France, Germany, and the Philippines who I had chatted with in the lobby and became friends with. A strange experience reminiscent of my school days. It was my first time staying in a shared room or a guesthouse, and it was clean, quiet, and wonderful. The closet bed makes me feel like Doraemon.

As the name of the hotel suggests, the interior decoration is simple and clean, with soothing music playing, paired with herbal tea or self-brewed coffee, and reading a book is quite comfortable. The boss himself also has many stories, which can be carefully explored. It is recommended that tourists who come to Kamakura can explore them carefully.

The boss has no problem communicating in English and can speak some Chinese. He is very friendly and hospitable, so there is no problem communicating. The public spaces are very sophisticated and beautiful.

Typical. We sleep on futons placed on tatami mats.It's quite noisy between the street, the air conditioning and the neighboring bedrooms/living room

Organic (green tea without pesticides during the cultivation period)I'm happy that it's there, and I'm also happy that I can brew my own freshly ground coffee in the morning!And the homemade breakfast is really delicious!I can see that you put a lot of effort into making it!Kamakura vegetable salad on fluffy homemade bread made with natural yeast! ! The taste of the soup is gentle and really comforting ❤ A must have for breakfast! !You can spend a luxurious time in the morning at an old folk house♪While it's still cool in the morning, go to the beach, which is just a few minutes walk away.We recommend going to a nearby public bath at night♪The room was also very clean and comfortable.

It's built in the style of an old folk house, giving you a sense of calm.The equipment is a little old, but there are no problems. I'm satisfied with the stay except for the fact that it was difficult to climb onto the bunk bed in the dormitory. Breakfast was also delicious. The soup in particular had a nice aroma and was great.
