Fantastic traditional type guest house/hostel. Only stayed one night but I had a very comfortable stay. Would happily stay here again!

I gave a low security score because when I stored my bags before check in, they just sat them at the front entrance and left the front door open. Anyone could have walked in. Overall the stay was not very comfortable as the AC was not sufficient enough to handle the 35 degree heat. However the staff were very kind and it is very close to the beach so it was okay for a night.

I highly recommend this place to stay, the atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable. It has unique character and is the perfect place to stay to experience kamakura. The staff are friendly and the people I met whilst staying there were also very interesting. Don’t look further, just book this place!
