“The owner was really friendly and the place was very accommodating.”

“Chill atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, clean and nice location”

“The location is really good if you wanna stay in Enoshima. Also, the hotel itself was very clean and comfortable. The owner of the house was so nice to host us. We had a good experience.”

“When place was clean, equipped with all the necessities. Location is perfect. Almost anything can be rented from the hostel. Staff is really friendly and they can speak English too. If I have a chance I will go and stay another time.”

“The staff is very kind and friendly. One gave recommendations when I asked on places to eat and things to do. They speak English well. They accommodated my allergies for the breakfast I bought (I notified them online upon booking) and they confirmed in person before cooking for me. The breakfast was freshly made, tasty and the price to add it was cheaper and more convenient than getting it somewhere else. The location and price are great! You can walk to any of the popular destinations on the island and across the bridge. The building is new and everything is clean so I felt comfortable staying here. The design is modern and minimalist but has traditional Japanese touches like the tatami in the sleeping pods.”

“Given the cost and location, it is basically what I expected. Simple, comfortable, compact, no frills or anything. But it was so cheap and right in the heart of Enoshima, so I was satisfied. Breakfast was cheap (¥250) and was 2 onigiri, 2 cherry tomatoes, and self serve iced tea. ”

“The hostess was so kind and helpful! She definitely made the stay so much better! She gave great recommendations and much more. I'm definitely returning for a visit today! Seriously this was such a nice hostel and they keep everything beautiful and clean, I highly recommend people to stay here :)”

“Very friendly staff. The location is great. The price to stay was really cheap! Very good recommendation !”

“Really friendly staff and also no problem at all with English. Easy to check in and check out and pretty good location. Also you can rent a bycicle! ”

“Kichinya is runned by two enthusiastic and open minded young people who really want to make their guests feel good and enjoy their staying at the hostel. Aya speaks fluent English and serves great late night dishes if you ask kindly. Kou is an architect and great craftsman who built the place himself basically off the scratch. Everything looks brand new with all white walls and great use wood to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. There is also a rooftop area to chill out. They have bikes for rent.”
