Koshigoe

The beaches and monuments are just a few things visitors like about Koshigoe. Koshigoe Fishing Port and Katase Higashihama Beach are worthwhile spots to check out, and you can hop on the metro at Mejiroyamashita Station or Nishi-Kamakura Station to get around the larger area.

Koshigoe
After climbing through the Kamakura hill trails, we came across the Kamakura Buddha statue. It is an amazing sight and hot to the touch as the sun bakes its metal surface. #adventure

Hase

If you're spending some time in Hase, Great Buddha and Hasedera are top sights worth seeing.

Great place to stay
"understated luxury, the superior room had more than enough space to accommodate 2 guests, perhaps too much for one person but it was a great experience. The room was cleaned everyday to original state when we first entered the room on the first day. The lobby staff was very helpful and over all we ..."

Disappointed

We left 2 days earlier but pre paid everything but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here. It’s worse then a hostel but marketed like it’s a hotel. When you have to go outside your room to a public toilet and sink it’s not a hotel.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Must walk from Kita Kamakura to Kamakura station . Love hiking around Kamakura area.

3/5 - Okay

Lots of great shrines and temples. Beware this is a weekend or day trip destination for the locals , it gets packed.
