Boasting a garden, 古民家の宿 鎌倉楽庵 is set in Kamakura in the Kanagawa region, 300 metres from Yuigahama Beach and 1.3 km from Zaimokuza Beach.

Clean, cozy, spacious and elegantly decorated. Unlike other authentic Japanese house that we stayed before (very old), Rakuan has been decorated in a stylish way yet the traditional elements are maintained, so it has not lost its authenticity. Location is superp - public carpark is less than 2mins walk and Hase station can be reached in a few minutes with beautiful cafe, train track and shop along the way.

Well located in the Naka Ward district of Yokohama, Chillulu Hostel is located 4.5 km from Sankeien, 12 km from Nissan Stadium and 18 km from Motosumi-Bremen Shopping District.

This was in an excellent location in Chinatown and within walking distance of many attractions. The hostel host was great to talk with and gave us some excellent recomendations! There were people from many different countries, so it was fun to chat in the common room during the day. The coffee shop on the lower floor was also very nice.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Incredible value for money. Great location between the beach and the main busy shopping street. We were a little nervous about this accommodation because it's been a while since we stayed in a hostel but it feels more like a budget hotel. Exceeded our expectations.

    The hostel was amazing. Love the spacious bathroom and the room itself is perfect for one person. The hostel's location is convenient and safe for a solo female traveller. I also got breakfast there which was also delightful. There were three to four options to choose from and they were all delicious and very filling for the start of the day.

    Really loved the beds and facilities out of 4 hostels I've stayed during my trip to Japan this round. It's about 5-10 minutes walk from the station with a supermarket on the way. The staff were kind to lend an umbrella when requested. The bed size was really comfy, with lots of space to put some bags at the edge of the bed for a 163 cm tall person. The bunk bed structure was really sturdy and gave the privacy needed between beds as well. 10/10 will come back if I ever visit Kamakura again.

    Bushi-san is a really nice host, super friendly and very interesting. It is a small house, only 3 rooms, so you can really interact with the other guests and Bushi-san. The hostel is well located at walking distance from the train station and all the touristy place around. The room with bunk bed was more confortable than we would have expect, and it was very quiet at night so we had a good rest. The Japanese breakfast was really really good. We loved it here :)

    Great friendly stuff. They advised me wonderful beach in the area, it was super helpful. Also, proper bed cover, not sandwich sheets, like in most cheap hostels. This is an advantage.
