We ask you to not enter or use the wooden deck as it is others' private property. Please do not park any cars, bikes or bicycles around this area also. They may be removed. This will be your own private house while you are in Kamakura. Please feel free to use this as your own private home. Although I wish to meet as many guests as possible, my schedule is quite tight. Kamakura is one of the most popular cities in Japan, especially during the summer. Visitors can spend time at the beach to cool off from the hot summer weather, or take a stroll in the streets and visit the temples and shrines to get in touch with historic Japanese culture. Hase Station is accessible by Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway), an eye-catching, unique, and retro train line that runs between Enoshima and Kamakura. Only a short walk to two of the main shrines in Kamakura: the Hase-dera and Kotoku-in, and a 9-minute walk to the main beach: Yuigahama, the Hase station area makes for the most ideal and convenient location for a stay in Kamakura. The closest train stations are: - Hase Station (Enoden) 5 min walk - Gokurakuji Station (Enoden) 8 min walk ++++++++++++ Around Kamakura +++++++++++++ Kōtoku-in 13 min walk Hase-dera 8 min walk Yuigahama Beach 9 min walk Kamakura Station 10 min by train Hokoku-ji Temple 14 min by train Zeniarai Benzaiten Shrine 25 min by train ++++++++++++ Airport Directions +++++++++++++ Below is the typical route from Narita / Haneda Airport to the station.

We prioritize providing a relaxing atmosphere for all of our guests so as of September 2018, we ask guests who fit the following groups to not stay at our home. We apologize for the inconvenience. ・The purpose of your stay is to have a party or have a gathering ・Guests for whom it is difficult to consciously limit producing loud voices (e.g. guests with infants) ・Guests who plan to sing, play musical instruments, or do activities that are better suited for a sound-proof facility. It is very difficult for us to ask this of our guests, but this facility is meant for relaxing in a quiet environment so we hope you can understand. ★ IMPORTANT ★ This listing is licensed as a "budget hotel" under the Hotel Business Law. We are required to ask you for the following after the booking is confirmed. 1. Some details about your group. 2. A picture of each guest's passport. (Not necessary for Japanese nationals or those with a registered address in Japan). 3. A short video call for ID verification. ★ About Facility ★ This room is on the 2nd floor with no elevator access. It has steep building stairs without a handrail and deep bathtub which may not be suitable for senior guests and/or those with a physical disability. ★ About Parking ★ There is no bicycle parking at the property. Please do not park your bicycles by the building. They may be removed. ★About noise★ This house is made of wood that may make internal sound echo through the house. We prepare earplug for guests, but, if you are very sensitive to such environmental noise, the house may not be suitable. ★About the clubhouse on the 1st floor★ The first floor is owned by a tenant different from Villa Kamakura. Club members may have parties mainly on weekends. Due to the wooden structure, music and voice may be heard. I heard that the use of the first floor is by 20:00 and will be withdrawn by 21:00, so it will not extend until midnight. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
