"We had a phenomenal experience getting to know a modern samurai! Our host is very knowledgeable about history and his kindness and life purpose is worth stopping by there for a few days snd learn from him. You get personalized treatment and the breakfast was prepared with love and kindness! We will be back for sure!! Warmed heartfelt thanks Bushi!! "

"Quel belle experience nous avons vécue. Merci. "

"OK. I’m going to start with the tough part: I can’t understand how the door locks on the room can be allowed. They are not at all safe. The door can be locked FROM THE OUTSIDE by someone else, and the people inside can be locked into their room!! Massive fire hazard. The mgmt really do need to look into a different system. Secondly, the door “lock” from the inside is insuffient: it is like a very small/wimpy latch that could easily be rendered useless by an intruder. As two women travelling (mother/daughter) I was very aware that the others staying at the guest house were all men. No staff onsite. With these two items rectified it would render a higher rating from me. The room was quirky, but clean. Has toilets down the hall, and a bath/shower room on the main floor. Help yourself to free ear plugs at the door, as the walls are not soundproofed and you will hear it all! Checking in and getting the key through an iPad felt like a geocaching experience. The neighbourhood is quiet but lovely, literally a handful of steps from the Enoden train line’s Hase station and a short walk to the beach. Some lovely restaurants here but rarely open and some nights we had a tough time finding anything open. "

"The location was maybe 3 or 4 minutes from the station, Near a 7-11 and a Lawson Station. A wonderful stay in Kamakura. The staff were extremely helpful in getting us a guide for the city and deliverying luggage to the airport. It's on a main drag that leads to the beach or up to the major city shrine. The room was very efficient and comfortable, the hot water plentiful for the bath! Downstairs there was a very nice restaurant that had a wonderful buffet breakfast. Totally recommend!"

"Very nice place for solo travelers. You get your own room but it’s a very communal atmosphere. Met a lot of cool people and the manager was super nice!"

"Amazing location, close to the train station and shopping district. I didn’t use the on-site onsen, but did go to one down on the beach to watch the sunset. Stunning. Room was well worth the price and staff was friendly and helpful. I speak zero Japanese and got by just fine. "

"The rooms were too small, and there were not many options for breakfast."

"Perfect stay"

"Great location, easy to get to from train station. Toshi thought of everything and was really helpful for our first few nights in Japan. Even provided cold towels in the fridge on arrival, much appreciated in this intense heat."
