    Lovely small hotel with gracious decor and staff; conveniently located by the local train. The room was spacious with a rain shower feature we enjoyed after a long day out exploring the area. The Japanese breakfast was lovely as well.

    It’s gorgeous and located right across the street from the beach. The staff greets you with warm tea, walks you to your room and explains everything. They had a card set out to congratulate us on our honeymoon. They provided tea, coffee, and complimentary beer. It was so beautiful we wanted to stay longer but our itinerary was packed!

    Nothing at all. It was the best hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon!

    This is a very special place indeed. The staff are so friendly and helpful with anything you need. The rooms are luxurious and really make you feel like you are staying somewhere special. The food is Michelin quality and I highly recommend you make dinner reservations, it was some of the best food we had in Japan.

    I can't really think much that I didn't like. Everything was very lovely. You do have to walk a bit to get to some places to eat, but that's not the hotel's fault.

    It was beautiful, right next to the beach, and it was such a nice way to end a vacation. The sea breeze was wonderful and the rooms were very clean and large.

    No complaints for us, only that we were not able to stay longer.

    A little ways from Enoshima, this hotel was the perfect location to enjoy various regions in the area. We were able to visit Enoshima attractions, were still on the beach front and a very short tram ride to main attractions in Kamakura. The venue itself was beautiful and very comfortable, providing both a luxurious and homely feel. The bar and restaurant are gorgeous and the room was very large by Japanese standards. The breakfast was a highlight for us.

    the Hotel is located right at a corner. the second night was no noisy outside. Not the fault of the hotel but stupid people were making strong noise with their car while waiting. Quite expensive, even during week days.

    The location of the hotel, close to the beach and to Enoshima. The size of the room, the comfort of the bed, the quality of the amenities...
