Very nice ancestral house and welcoming host. As a foreigner visitor, I was very well received. I suggest to bring some food to cook if you want to eat here.
It's like staying in a traditional Japanese inn, but you're actually on a shoestring budget opting for hostels instead.
There's everything here. Indoor cooking pits, full kitchen, restaurant/bar, rental bikes, tatami mats
Beautiful guest house with friendly and welcoming staff. Best place I have stayed in yet.
Everything is brilliant for a low cost guest house except it is a bit far from the main train station.
Lovely house, immaculately kept by the staff. You really feel you're getting an authentic 'Japanese' experience staying here; sleeping on futon in a tatami room and the irori in the living room is also a wonderful feature. There is a restaurant attached that serves nice food and drinks for a reasonable price.
It's not close to the main attractions of Kamakura however you can rent a bicycle and explore.
Yume and the rest of the staff where very welcoming to us. The place is very clean and cozy. It was out first experience with a traditional style hostel and it was perfect. The sleeping mats really are good and people in the bedroom are quiet and respectful. The staff goes a long way to really make you feel at home, they are just so sweet and kind :)
The common room with the fire is also amazing. Great place to cook, eat, drink and just hang out. The location is great, we rented bikes for about 5€ a day and saw everything Kamakura has to offer.
Thanks a lot Yume & and friends for the great stay!
Very friendly staff, they let me check in a couple hours early (I had only planned to drop off my bags). I stayed in the male dorm, which was quite clean, and very nice.
Kamukara Guest House is a beautiful traditional Japanese house with a very personal atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and the living room is always full with guests, allowing you to get to know one another. The facilities are very clean, as you would expect in Japan. There used to be a bar below the house but that has moved to Fukuoka. That was a little bit dissapointing because it doesn't say on the website. However I would definitely recommend this hostel! Would book again.
Such a nice place, with helpful and nice staff. The house is really clean and it is a great experiene to see a "real" japanese house. It is a bit far from the station, but it is only a five minutes walk from the monorail, you can take it from Ofuna.
