Very lovely guesthouse! We really enjoyed our stay here. We love the Japanese room. (The futons were very comfortable.) The shared dining / living room was also very charming with old Japanese house feel. The shared bathroom and toilets were also very clean. The staffs were very friendly. We love all the little turtle decorations and also the selection of complimentary teas available.

The guesthouse is a bit further away from the train station, but the walk through the neighborhood to the station was very nice especially during spring.

The location was off the beaten tourist track near the ocean, easy bus ride.A few restaurants a short walk are available. The building is historic with much character ,the decor is unique and creative . We had a traditional room with the garden view which was lovely especially as there was a heavy rain and we felt so cozy inside.The futon ,linens and pillow were comfortable. A community area with access to hot water for tea /coffee and a fridge to use.

Only one shower ,it was not an issue as everyone was efficient and quick.No line .

Wonderfully friendly and welcoming staff. Staying in the dorm is great value for money, beds are comfortable and I didn't have any issue sharing a room this time Breakfast is delicious and such a breath of fresh air if you have been travelling for a while, it is all so fresh and tasty Was given recommendations for food which ended up being very good Very chill but comfortable vibe in the common area, was able to chat and play card games with other travellers

Everything was wonderful. I loved everything about this guest house. I was very nervous to be staying in this style of accommodation for the first time as a solo female traveller but I was pleasantly surprised. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. The staff member who made my breakfast even sat with me to chat and recommend things in the area. The breakfast was also fresh and delicious at a very good price. The front desk staff even gave me a map of the area with key sightseeing spots! Other guests were all respectful and never made noise in the bedroom areas and friendly if there was an opportunity to talk. The interior design is charming and homely. Everything was very clean and accessible. There was ever chilled water and tea available in the fridge for free. The local bus stopped literally right outside the hotel so you could travel to the main train station easily. I only stayed one night for this trip but I could have happily stayed many more!

Towels have to be rented but I understand this is probably necessary for the style of the property - it was still very cheap and easy to do this.

The private double Japanese style room was comfortable, quiet and had a nice garden view. The shared shower and toilet were clean and nicely laid out. The hangout space was spacious with lots of comfortable chairs and tables to sit at to chat or do our own things, with free coffee/tea. Also the hosts were very helpful with recommendations and spoke good English.

Slightly more expensive than other similar places on our trip

The place has both a conventional Japanese and a hostel atmosphere. During our visit, the guests were mostly in their late 20s to 30s, which was similar to our age group. It seems that anyone who stays here would easily connect with others. The owner is well-traveled, and it would have been nice to have met him in person. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to the beach, and easily accessible by bus. The staff were amicable and gave us a tour of the property. They also recommended a fantastic spot where we were able to take some rare photos of Mt. Fuji in full view!

An amazing stay and all one could hope for from a guesthouse. The place has a rustic feel with it and its clear its been built with love and care while being mindful of suistainability. The staff were a delight to chat to and more than happy to share their knowledge and experiences about the area with you. Super good recommendations; with a map provided of nearby services and eateries. Masa also cooks up some amazing breakfasts that are definitely worth a try; along with the in-house coffee and tea. There's a beach nearby where you can get an amazing view of Mt Fuji on a clear day and quite popular with the locals for surfing. Bus stop nearby, otherwise a 20-25min walk from Kamakura Station.

Sound proofing is limited and more than likely one will hear other guest as they move about the guesthouse given the nature of the building.

I had a wonderful stay at Kamejikan. The house is beautiful and the owner and staff are very friendly ,attentive and warm people. I got nice tips about what to do and the food at the guesthouse is also really tasty and healthy. I would come back to Kamakura, just for the guesthouse :-) but the city sights and great beach location and laid-back vibes are great as well. I stayed two nights, one day I visited Kamakura and did some hikes between the temples and the other day I visited Enoshima island with a bike I rented at the guesthouse. The dorm is a tatami room and the beds are Japanese futons. It's such a nice traditional, but at the same time very comfortable and beautifully renovated house. You will have a great stay!

The property is very beautiful and cosy, and the hosts are very hospitable and friendly. The beach is also very close.

During the night there were some creaking and squeaking noises, not sure if that come from the building or from the outside, but if you’re a light sleeper keep that in mind.
