This place was so cute! I hate to use that word in a review but really there is no other to describe it. The staff was so nice and helpful, the house was clean and had a nice dorm room and bathrooms. The dorm room had curtains on each bed for privacy. The food was excellent- vegetarian fare and delicious,... More

What a way to experience "old" Japan, staying in this wonderful guesthouse in the ancient city of Kamakura. As others have said , Kamejikan offers a very homely, warm feel. Masa and his staff are very helpful with recommendations for local sights and restaurants: we found ourselves in places that I imagine many non Japanese speaking tourists would miss. As... More

Kamejikan is an old house that has recently been refurbished, and is full of beautiful touches, such as the turtle design on the cushions and the use of different turtles as keyrings. The rooms are very comfortable, with tatami mats, futon and lovely warm duvets. The staff communicated with us very well during the booking process, and we received a... More

You rarely find such a great combination of local culture, and great, helpful hosts. From the first moment, you do not feel you are in a commercial enterprise, but you feel at a friend's home. Such is the warmth welcome in this place. There are not may rooms, actually 3 only and I suggest you book well in advance if... More

Perfect for a weekend retreat or base to explore Kamakura with its temples and hiking trails. We loved the immediate vicinity to the beach and the friendly owner, a musician who used to travel the world. Renting a bike from the guesthouse brings you to all Kamakura attractions within minutes. There are a couple of nice restaurants and bars around... More

Wow, this was exactly what I was looking for!!! Normally I don't write reviews, but Kamejikan really deserves one. After spending too much time in Tokyo's city hotels I was looking for a more traditional, japanese style guest house to round up my travels. Kamejikan is one of those places and I fell in love with it straight away. The... More

Great little inn with very hospitable and friendly owner, easy access to all temples/sites in Kamakura and just a few minutes from the beach. Relaxing atmosphere, just a place where you really feel like home in Japan. The owner cooked some great food, must try!
