The house was a beautiful traditional Japanese house. The owner Mr. Hide was very warm and welcoming and could speak English very well and provided recommendations on the places to visit. The house is close to the beach. I would definitely return

    “Great location--only a block or two from the ocean and ocean-front promenade, which you can follow for about 15 minutes for a superb view of Mt. Fuji at Inamuragasaki Park (weather/clouds permitting, of course). 10-minute walk to the Hase station...”

Company info

Nice to meet you! My name is Hide. When being in twenties, I traveled Oceania South America and theft Asia California and stayed in a lot of backpacker hostels. Then it was possible to spend fun time with the owner and the guest. It's remembered for a long time hard even now. The present lifework goes on ZEN and SURFIN. A customer would like to make time which becomes a memory using the former experience. English isn't used a long period, so you can speak only a little, but please take care.

Property info

Kamakura ZEN-JI is a small hostel for individual travelers. The previous owner built this building in the style of a temple, and we asked a well-established builder to remodel and expand it. The scent of wood, high ceilings and peripheral corridor with tatami flooring somehow create the nostalgic feeling of the Showa Era (1926 – 1989). Please have a comfortable stay experiencing the flavors of each season such as the subtle sound of waves from Yuigahama shore and small chirping birds singing in the forest in Gokurakuji Temple behind the hostel.

Neighborhood info

Even Yuigahama beachi is 1 minute on foot. Even Giant butta is 14 minutes on foot. Even Hasetemple is 10 minutes. Even a popular spot is very close. It's convenient at 2 minutes on foot to the convenience shop.
