B&Bs in Yokohama

Its a somewhat confusing booking.com listing - basically a number of small properties run by the same provider, some are listed as whole properties when in essence you are just getting a room with shared toileting/washing facilities. That's what I did - a three person room booked for myself, presumably they would take mates sharing or also split it into dorm listings at busy times. It was very cheap, very clean (almost unbelievably so for a hostel) and as there are only 4 rooms I assume listed like mine, with two showers no great issues there. Quiet area of an interesting part of town with modern small somewhat upmarket bars and cafes along with small boutiques and other small private shops.

The owner of the property is proactive, asking us about our arrival time. We were given duck cookies (a delicacy of kamakura) and two luggage tags as a gift. We got here easily via train. It’s also a stone throw’s away from the beach and the Buddha. The best part of staying here is being able to do laundry for free. We had been travelling for 2 weeks before coming to Kamakura so we had a mountain of laundry. Water pressure in the shower is also 10/10.

Very nice hosts, eager to give the best experience to their guests. Exceptional service by picking us up and supporting in handling the narrow driveway. Personally showed us the local Sakura (cherry blossoms) tunnel, which was beautiful!

Overall speaking our stay was fantastic. We read the comments before we booked and expected a good stay. We know the transport is a concern but we drive, so it isn’t an issue. (See below for more about parking) Yet, it is still out of our expectations. We enjoyed so much in the quiet and harmony environment! We spent 4 days 3 nights here. We appreciate the services, food and environment. Places are clean, neat and tidy. The host Rin-san is very detailed and helpful. Its location is a distance from the town; so it is quiet. Originally we planned for long days in nearby towns and tourist locations, and thought that it is just a place for bath and sleep. We didn’t book for additional meals (only booked a dinner on the first night because we would arrive late). Later on we changed our mind and booked the breakfast for day 3 and 4 so that we can enjoyed and relaxed more. Both the dinner and 2x breakfast were wonderful: good variety, delicious, well garnished, and good price! Next to it is a large park. On day 3 we shortened our day tour and went back early. We jogged for an hour and then bought some beer and light meal as our day-3-dinner. The sunset was wonderful. We just sat outdoor, had some snack and chat. An hour easily passed. There were a few email interactions before we checked in. Rin-san explained everything we need and reserved a parking space for us. He replied our questions promptly and arranged everything as requested. We had no difficulty locating the House except that we didn’t expect the condition of the small road towards the House was so poor. In fact Rin-san had explained to us in the email. The road was under construction. We then moved our car to the House another parking space on day 2 morning. It’s just 2 minutes walk and is next to the park we mentioned above. Rin-san drove us there. The arrangement was great. I can’t probably write everything here.

We loved the hospitality, the comfy beds and amazing view of Mt Fuji. Just a 2 minute walk from a reliable bus, it was expertly located for a quiet few days away with easy access to towns closer to the coast. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating and the meals were exceptional!

amazing place to stay! looks exactly like the photos, even better when you sees it!

Quite big room with a sofa, a tatami bed in another small room, and another bed on top also tatami style. 2min walking to the ocean. Few restaurants 2min walking and cafes. The nearest station is about 6min walking, same for convenience stores. 20min walking from the center of Kamakura.

All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Many spoke English which was very convenient.
