Newly opened in July 2013 and within a 3-minute walk from Yuigahama Beach, Guest House Iza Kamakura offers simple dormitory-style rooms and private rooms with a European decor. Guests can use the free Wi-Fi on site. Hase Train Station is a 3-minute walk away.

Guests can stay in dormitory-style rooms and private rooms with bunk beds or Western beds. Bathrooms and toilets are shared.

What's there to not like about this place given that there's an exceptional host Kyoyo. He is very friendly and helpful from the get go. Given my leg injury, Kyoyo helped me with my luggage and a comfortable room. He also tried his best to help me when my local sim here stopped working.

Every room has a shared bathroom and is air conditioned. All rooms and dormitories are equipped with a mosquito net.

The location was perfect! Right next to the train station, a 7eleven, family mart and lawsons then only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Surrounded by restaurants as well. The bed was extremely comfortable and the mattress and pillow quality was perfect, the amenities were great - free toiletries and towels to hire. Overall this is one of the best hostels I've stayed in.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    1. Great location with just 5 minute walk from JR station 2. Hotel sell also Enoden 1 day ticket and Kamakura Beer :) 3. There is a MUJI store with Cafe & Meal just beside, but you need to go out hotel first and go to the store. 4. TV have google cast that you can share video/open Netflix from the TV, and it showing also the crowdedness for the cafe during breakfast 5. Great breakfast, personally feels the salt grilled sea bass is best.

    The place was great to stay. All western style. Is good to have a western bed after too many days sleeping in a futon. The bed was great, clean and cozy. The kitchen was well equiped, so you can make your own food without a problem. Very cheap for the good clean space.

    Simple, basic business near Ofuna station. If you are looking for an accommodation in Kamakura area, this would be a good option. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, cheap eating places around.
