"We only stayed here for one night but were incredibly impressed with the combined Japanese and modern feel. The rooms were surprisingly spacious for Japanese hotel rooms. The area does not have a ton to offer, but the hotel is an incredibly convenient place to stay when landing late at or taking off early from Haneda."

"The property was very clean and the staff were very kind and polite! We went down most mornings for the breakfast! There is a bar right there that you can every day sit from 5:30 to 6:30 for happy hour and have free beer! Everything there is kinda on this small side in Japan, but the rooms large enough to relax and shower ! I was therefore exploring and didn’t plan on spending all my time in my hotel room! I even got dinner there a few times and it was very good! I stayed there for two weeks and I was on the second floor, which is right next to the laundry room, which was nice! I really enjoyed the rooftop! I like to go to the 10th floor and grab me a drink from their drink machine and then sit out there on the rooftop and just watch the sky and stars and look over the side. The staff there was very friendly and accommodating! The location was right next to Kawasaki Metro! Plenty of shopping, plenty of bars, close to 7-eleven as well as Lawson’s! I would highly recommend it if you’re not really looking for luxury, but a clean and comfortable place to relax and rest your head!"

"I stayed in a double room and a single room .For the price it is okay-storage for luggage is under the bed.I find the bathroom very small as a 5’8 when sitting my knees nearly touch the door.Overall I found the single room to be slightly more spacier overall.Would stay here again because of the easy check in and out process.Especially the express check out which was very convenient for catching 5am trains to Narita airport.No complications."

"The staff were super friendly. I left my bags both before check in and after check out which freed me off to explore. Both check in and check out are done through a machine but I had a staff member helping me since most of the instructions were in Japanese. The room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking at visiting Enoshima and Kamakura."

When is the best time to go to Kamakura?
The best times to visit Kamakura are during the spring (late March to May) and autumn (October to early December) when the weather is most pleasant.Spring in Kamakura offers mild temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the city's many temples and shrines on foot. This season is particularly popular for viewing cherry blossoms, which typically bloom from late March to early April. You'll find beautiful displays around Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shrine and along the Dankazura pathway. It's a lovely time for couples to enjoy scenic walks and the natural beauty of the area.Autumn provides similarly comfortable temperatures and, from late November to early December, the opportunity to see stunning autumn foliage. The changing colours of the leaves at temples like Engaku-ji and Hōkoku-ji Bamboo Forest create a picturesque backdrop for sightseeing. This period is excellent for solo travellers who appreciate photography and a more contemplative experience, as the cooler air and beautiful scenery make for very enjoyable exploration.
