Few young people run this guesthouse with dedication and friendliness. Not all of them speak good English, but after a moment you start to communicate without any problem. Every evening they prepare a dinner for everyone (you can also help/learn cooking) - you contribute 500yens and eat with everyone. I recommend this as: 1. you don't eat alone, 2. you... More

Great place in Kamakura. My wife and I stayed here for one night passing through. Great affordable place with easy access to train lines. Segregated rooms and dorm style. Bring your own towel and ear plugs as some folks snore. Perfect for backpackers and meeting other travelers in a fun relaxed environment. Great FAST wifi too.

A most fantastic family run guesthouse. Right from the very minute you walk in the door you feel at home, you feel welcome and you feel looked after. Ideally located far enough away from, but still near enough to, all major transport facilities. Despite the unfortunate recent earthquake in Japan, the Kamakura Guesthouse is open for business as usual. they... More
