Akama Kamakura

This is a small machiya-style inn nestled among traditional houses. The first floor houses the common areas, including restrooms, showers, a tea room, a veranda, and a gym. While the gym is small, it's sufficient for daily workouts and even has an electric foam roller – perfect for a relaxing massage after a day of sightseeing. Just be aware that it's closed after 10 PM. Because the old building has poor sound insulation, it's best to keep it quiet after 10 PM. The inn is conveniently located; a three-minute walk straight ahead leads to Hase Station on the Enoden line, and a five-minute walk to the right brings you to a 7-Eleven, bus stops, and other popular attractions. Turning left leads to the beach. There's no elevator, making it unsuitable for very young children or those with mobility issues. You have to climb a narrow wooden staircase to reach the second floor, where there's only one shared restroom for three guest rooms. You might need to go downstairs to use the restroom occasionally. The garden downstairs is quite beautiful; you can enjoy stargazing from the lounge chairs at night. The inn's staff are very friendly and helpful with luggage. They're all quite handsome, surf, and if you speak Japanese well, you can communicate with them.

A warm welcome, peaceful, and beautiful. And well located. The rooms are spacious. We slept three people. We had some slight concerns about the freshness of the sheets. But overall, a very good place to stay. The bathrooms are perfect and remarkably clean.
