Kaihinsou Kamakura

If you want to experience Japanese history, I highly recommend this place. The breakfast is very ceremonial, and there is also a local brand clothing store opened by a handsome uncle next to it. Yuigahama Station is a few dozen meters to the north, and the beach is not far to the south. I think this place is especially suitable for summer.

I went to Kamakura to play and decided to stay in this Japanese hotel a long time in advance. I have stayed in many famous Japanese hot spring hotels in Japan, but I still have a feeling for this one. First of all, it is only 2 minutes away from the Enoden Station. This year, the hotel has a 100-year history. The room we booked is relatively large, with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel is a big house, very clean, very quiet, and there is also a hot spring pool. The breakfast is rich and delicious. If you choose not to be so tired, staying in Kamakura for one night is very worthwhile to experience.

I stayed at Kaihinso for the first time in 2019, but unfortunately the comments at that time are gone. I have experienced a lot in the past 5 years, but my impression of Kaihinso has never changed. This is the most important part of the Kamakura trip. The Kaihinso building itself is a national protected building in Japan, and most of the staff are old ladies with a friendly attitude. Five years ago, most of the guests staying were Japanese, but this time most of them are Chinese tourists. Do you want to experience the most traditional Japanese inn? Just stay at Kaihinso. Sleep on tatami, take a hot spring, and eat Japanese breakfast. Kaihinso is only more than 100 meters away from Yuigahama Station on the Enoden. You can walk along the path to the beach, or take the tram for 4 stops to Shichirigahama, 5 stops to Kamakura High School, or 7 stops to Enoshima. Even if you don’t go to the attractions, just walking in the nearby alleys and feeling the tranquility of the Japanese countryside is also an excellent experience.

It was great. The building itself is old enough to have a sense of history, but it was a well-cleaned and clean hotel. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The rice was also delicious and we had seconds. The bath was not a hot spring, but it was a large flowing bath. It was lukewarm, about 39 degrees, so my son and I, who don't like heat, were able to take a relaxing bath.
