The host is very friendly and communicate well with English is a big plus. Also, this place provides an unique experience of Japanese living.

The property have traditional outlook. It's perfect for anyone who want to experience the staying in Japanese style room. The only downside is since the building is old so you will need to watch out for the noise from other guests.

Warm hospitality.

Nice cozy little guesthouse tucked away on a quiet street. Comfy beds and spacious rooms. Easy to use facilities. Friendly staff who really care about the area, next chance ill have to do a bushin tour. Close between main shopping district at the ststion, beach and temple district wjth Hasedera and Big Buddha Thanks

Great budget spot from which to see a Kamakura. Tomoya, his girlfriend Nobia and the rest of the staff working in Irodori are incredibly friendly and helpful. Tomoya is very informative about Japanese history and culture, and even provides tours of the surrounding areas. His breakfasts were tasty and light - the perfect way to start a day or sightseeing. They also provided kimono dress up and calligraphy practice for free when I was there which wound up being great fun. The guesthouse provides a very friendly environment and I was able to meet some fantastic people here - both staff and guests. With regards to the rooms themselves, they are very basic and the walls are thin, so this wouldn’t be the ideal spot for a romantic getaway. All the surfaces are clean but there was a bit of clutter in my room. Also, there is only one shower for all five or so rooms...this wasn’t a problem when I was there but something to keep in mind. No locks on the bedroom doors either. All in all, this is a basic but very friendly guesthouse which is perfect for the budget traveller looking to meet people. I would definitely recommend it!

Quaint certainly describes this guesthouse. However, the host, Tomoya-san, is outstandingly hospitable, knowledgeable about Kamakura and his command of the English language is remarkable, considering I was in Japan. After a little misadventure in another city, I was more than a little late checking-in but Tomoya-san was very accommodating, and even offered to keep my luggage the next day after check out so I could explore Kamakura, as I was only passing by for a day. The next day, he made a traditional breakfast for me to enjoy and told me about the history of Kamakura while helping me map out my day in order to make the most out of it. Thank you for making this part of my journey memorable, keep on embodying the Japanese samurai spirit!

This is a small B&B with a friendly and helpful owner. It was great to meet other guests and neighbors and discuss the history of the local area.

The operator is kindly and can speak English fluently. All guests have to share a both room, which is not good enough at high season.
