We really enjoyed our stay. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, the room was very clean and nicely designed, the beds were comfortable and the coffee was delicious. Also the location is great. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops in the neighborhood, the train station is around the corner and it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach.

With free WiFi, this 1-star guest house offers a 24-hour front desk and a shared kitchen. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.

The host are so amazing, thoughtful and full of passion in introducing Japanese culture to us. We also enjoy a very decent and yummy local Japanese breakfast cooked by the Samurai cook. Every tiny decoration in the hostel is so unique and with lots of memories there, especially the 500 years old Samurai 's sword. Very convenient location with shops, yummy food . JR station and Edo tram are in minutes walk around . We love all the moments there.

Beautiful place on a mountain overlooking mount Fuji. Rooms are stylish and comfortable and have everything you need. Taking a bath while listening to the cicadas and birds from the window was pure joy. The staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. I recommend reserving a dinner and breakfast, they were both delicious!!

Located just steps from Yuigahama Beach, 女性専用 Inn By The Sea Kamakura - Women's Guesthouse is a cosy guesthouse-style inn featuring Japanese-style guest rooms with free WiFi access. Hase Station on the Enoden Line is a 3-minute walk away, while Kamakura's Great Buddha can be reached in 10 minutes. Hase Dera Temple and Goryo Shrine are both a 5-minute walk away, while Enoshima is an 18-minute train ride away. Zeniarai Benzaiten Ugafuku Shrine is 25-minutes away on foot.

The experience at this accommodation will be something I'll never forget. I left my passport at the Hakone hotel, but the host made a proactive effort to resolve the issue. Thanks to the incredibly kind couple, we were fortunately able to solve the problem and focus on our trip in Hakone. Being very close to Hase Station made it convenient to go anywhere. It was also near the sea, so I was very happy walking along the seaside path in the morning. The location, space, and hosts were all excellent. The spacious room and the bed from which the sea was visible were also amazing. Although the bathroom was outside, it was convenient because we were the only ones using it. Being able to take a bath was really nice. They brewed coffee in the morning, and the smell of the coffee was wonderful. The next day, it rained a lot and we were flustered without an umbrella, but they offered us their own umbrella. Thanks to their kindness until the last moment, I leave Hase with warm memories. I sincerely thank you.

    The 2 hosts were fantastic and super friendly. They had great knowledge of the area and helpful with plans. The accommodation itself is in a great location near the hase station off the main road. Bedroom was quiet and had aircon/ heater. The hosts have lots of unique decorations and shows their fun personalities. They made me a coffee in the morning which was fantastic way to start my day!

    We loved the old house with its charming room, objects, memorabilia and the cosy kitchen where to have breakfast together with other guests and the host. The location was great, in a quiet small street and close to the station. But the best part was the host Bushi. Kind, friendly and funny. He created a very special place with high ambitions of inclusivity, welcoming and sharing of stories and culture.

    The breakfast was fantastic. That alone was worth the rent. Then the great location, the patio by the river, and Kimie, the best host, add up to the best value for the money.

    Kimie is a great host: a super nice person - and an excellent cook! Also, we loved that our room had a balcony overlooking a romantic creek. And everyone staying at the B&B has access to a terrace overlooking that same creek.

    The host is very friendly and so nice to speak with. The guesthouse is small but very heartwarming, plus the food prepared by our host was really very good. You cone here to have a human experience more than a hotel experience.
