Koshigoe
After climbing through the Kamakura hill trails, we came across the Kamakura Buddha statue. It is an amazing sight and hot to the touch as the sun bakes its metal surface. #adventure

Hase

Having the onsen onsite is a definite deciding factor for us. It’s nice to use the onsen for relaxation and get ready for another day of adventure.

Disappointed

We left 2 days earlier but pre paid everything but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here. It’s worse then a hostel but marketed like it’s a hotel. When you have to go outside your room to a public toilet and sink it’s not a hotel.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Must walk from Kita Kamakura to Kamakura station . Love hiking around Kamakura area.

3/5 - Okay

Lots of great shrines and temples. Beware this is a weekend or day trip destination for the locals , it gets packed.
