Guest House Kamejikan

I had the pleasant stay at Kamejikan and I chose here for close proximity to the beach and the coworking space, Hatsuhinode for my remote work. I’ve met many friendly locals and guests at Kamejikan and Hatsuhinode. The ambiance made me feel like living 100 years ago as the building is about that old too (based on what the host told me). Although I’m not so sociable, the hosts were super nice and friendly to talk to me. I enjoyed my stay here. If I were to point one negative, I would have preferred to have more cushioning on the futon but such slight discomfort is also a part of staying at such a traditional place. I hope you appreciate the place as is.

Very decent tranditional Japanese house experience! Location is in a quiet neighborhood Zaimoukuza, not right next to Kamarura station, but right next to a bus stop, very close to beach, all you need during travel: restaurant, supermarket, cafe, bakery, public bath, all in the walking distance. Guest house Masa is so kind to make the guest house cozy and comfortable; different events could take place, I joined my first time morning beach yoga exercise, very interesting! I also enjoy owned brew fruit wine in the night!

Came here to stay for our last day in Japan and it is about 4-5 minutes walk to the beach. Many local restaurants near by and got to try great food recommended by the host/owner. We got a bigger room for two.

I really enjoyed my time at Kamakura and Kameijikan. It was my first time staying at a Japanese guesthouse and I had a comfortable stay. The futon was fluffy and warm and it's nice that there was always coffee, tea and water available to drink at any time. As someone who is traveling Japan for a month, this place was affordable and in a quiet neighborhood with quick access to the beach. The staff were very hospitable and friendly. I had some good conversations with them in Japanese and English. If I ever get to visit Kamakura again, I would love to stay at Kameijikan. Congratulations on 100 years!

Fabulous Guesthouse. The historic charm of the house gave me an entirely different experience than conventional modern buildings. Altough the walls are paper thin as usual in these houses, the few amount of guests made it absolutely easy to sleep. The hosts are incredibly sweet and attentionate. They provide you with a small counter for coffee and tea during your stay (but not after checkout) and an optional small breakfast. The beds were relatively comfortable altough a bit hard. The location is a perfect middle between the beach and the center with a conveniant bus line stopping right around the corner to bring you from or to the station. The interior are carefully and tastefully decorated. I'm very grateful for my stay there, I definitely recommend staying at least 2 or 3 nights to really enjoy what Kamakura and Kamejikan have to offer.

love this place!!! masa, one of the staff, was kind and welcoming, and had an extensive conversation about our cultures and differences. he’s fluent in english, but we also communicated in japanese and he was very keen for a chat. the room itself was lovely, the only downside i had about it was the smell of some of the other travellers but that really can’t be helped (not their fault at all!) the facilities were kept clean and tidy, and the lounge area was chill and cozy. fantastic place kept by fantastic people. will be back soon! またね！

This is a lovely guest house and one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in Japan. The staff were wonderful and very kind and helpful (their English is good too). The private room was excellent, although you might need to do some Tetris to get the futons to fit on the floor! The breakfast in the morning was delicious. I would love to stay here again!

A guesthouse to feel home, slow down and enjoy every moment. Kamejikan is located in the more quiet neighborhood of Zaimokuza, and is only a 5-min walk from the beach. It is from this side of Kamakura seaside that you can see Fujisan! I highly recommend this guesthouse which has private as well as shared rooms. Please enjoy & rest well.
