    They stole my heart. I just can't stop thinking about this beautiful town and hostel. If I ever return to Japan, I definitely have to come back here. The staff are so friendly. It's an unforgettable and very Japanese experience. They're just fantastic.

    Very thin walls, you could hear noises of other guests and the road all through the night

    Cosy common area with options to make yourself coffee

    The walls are literally paper as it is a classical japanese house, so hear everything at night when. People are hanging out, but hey, you only live once, so that's ok

    Very nice and comfortable. The staff is beyond nice and polite. The location is absolutely great, and they have cycles you can rent to go everywhere in town

    Can be a bit noisy at night from other guests but we were aware of this risk prior to booking.

    Calm small haven away from the business of the city. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good access to beach, convenience stores and eating places. Also able to hire wet suits and body boards.

    A bit far from the center but you can walk a good 15 min and be there. Good to stay fit but difficult when heavy rain is included (happened to me). But, there is a bus stop right next to the house so it's actually not a big deal. Arigatou gozaimashita ! Mata ne!

    Lovely staff, quiet and friendly atmosphere, beautiful house.

    A towel and robe would have been great - but lack of those is probably reflected in the price.

    The host was amazing, friendly and informative. The name of the place says it all - a place to relax and slow down. The perfect end to my six week touring.

    Only 1 shower, so it was often that you'd be waiting to use it. But even though everyone used it, it was rather clean.

    Very nice place, close to the beach. Friendly staff, and I really enjoyed talking to the other guests at the time I stayed there. It felt like a cozy home, and was very clean. You can rent bicycles there for pretty cheap (600 yen a day), albeit they are a little rusty, but it's nice to cycle along the beach. They had a nice selection of tea and coffee that you can freely use. If I visit Kamakura again, I would stay there again!

    The most kind and helpful host, delicious breakfast, comfortable beds, and a perfect location! Kamejikan is a really wonderful guesthouse, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice and relaxed place to stay in Kamakura ☺️ Also, it's only five minutes away from the beach, and there is a bus stop basically right in front of the guesthouse! I can't wait to visit again in the future 🏖

    The walls are literally made of paper. Can’t sleep with people talking in any part of the guest house - something to be mindful of if you’re an early sleeper

    Nice common area
