We had a great stay at this 100-year-old Japanese home. The mix of traditional architecture and modern updates was impressive, and the house was clean, comfortable, and easy to settle into. Tadao, the host was very responsive and made communication a pleasure. We only wished we had booked a longer stay. Would definitely recommend a relaxing stay directly across the rd from the beach. Beautiful place and town

My wife and I wanted to “slow travel” for a few days and found this place on VRBO. It’s a 100-yr old traditional coastal home. It is directly across the road (there is a convenient tunnel under the road) from Zaimokuza and Yuigahama beaches and there is a bus stop right outside the door for a 15 min ride to/from Kamakura Station. The #40 bus is reliable and easy. Don’t bother with a taxi. It is also a 15-min walk to the Enoden train, which follows the coastline and goes to Hase and Enoshima for access to the area’s famous o-teras, shopping, etc. The home has been thoughtfully renovated to include modern air conditioning, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, etc. It is set up well for beach/surfing getaways, with areas in the genkan to rinse off sand, wash/hang up wet clothes—even a sauna. It is a traditional Japanese home with one main room that can be divided by pull down shades into sleeping areas—one area with a double bed and another with two twin beds. The beds are good quality and not futons. Bathrooms are private with walls and doors. We visited in July, with temperatures >90 degrees F, >80% humidity, and some thunderstorms. The home was comfortable throughout our stay. The area is charming, the people are friendly to us, and the atmosphere was laid back. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was awesome!

Very nice old house and well-equipped. We were worried the cold winter but the house has heater system, which is great. Location is great for beach visit by walking 2 minutes. Bus to the train station is very convenient. Perfect for family or close friends trip.
