Yuigahama 3 min walk + Station 2 min walk | Newly built Kamakura stay overlooking Enoden | Parking lot 1 car [Saka no Nana Night · Moon]

The Enoden bell switches on your trip. The scenery of Hase, known for its torii gate and railroad crossing, welcomes you right in front of Goryo Shrine. Hase Station is a 2-minute walk, and Yubigahama Beach is a 3-minute walk. "Sakano Nanayo" is a newly built, single-family rental villa (3 stories, about 100 m²) located in a quiet residential neighborhood in an area where the sea, mountains, shrines, and shops gather. Simple and comfortable, perfect for a stay with family or friends. In the morning, you can pray at the shrine and take out breakfast from the bakery in the alley. During the day, you can visit the Great Buddha and temples, and if you feel like it, you can go straight to the sea. In the evening, you can experience the "ordinary life of Kamakura" while listening to the sound of the crossing as background music and looking at the Enoden. There are cafes, restaurants, and old-fashioned shops nearby, making shopping convenient. It is a 2-minute walk from the station and has excellent access, and many of the places you want to go are within walking distance. You can use your time just for yourself without the stress of moving around. From the moment you open the door, your trip will turn into "living". Please stay as if you were living in Kamakura. We look forward to seeing you.

[Sumika Tansaku-sha] Surrounded by greenery in the mountains of Kita Kamakura, free your five senses

Kita Kamakura is a green area with many Zen temples. This [Sumika Tanshukusha] is located on the hillside, up the trail and stairs leading to the mountain. Outside the large window is a large palm tree and maple tree. In spring, there is fresh green, in summer, there are plenty of leaves, in autumn, there are yellow and red leaves, and in winter, you can see the Great Ship Kannon behind the branches that have fallen. There is no parking lot because it is only accessible by stairs. Instead, there is no sound of cars, only the chirping of birds, the sound of squirrels running around the roof, and the sound of the wind shaking the leaves. Go out into the garden, cut seasonal flowers, and bring them into the room. Grind coffee beans with a mill and brew your own coffee. There is no excessive service here, but please open your five senses and spend your time as you like.

[FOLKkoshigoe] Experience living in a 100-year-old old house in Kamakura

This 100-year-old traditional Japanese house has been passed down through the generations and through time.First, let's lie down in the large 22.5 tatami mat living room.Then enjoy the sunlight filtering through the trees on the veranda that is surrounded on all sides. For groceries, you can walk 8 minutes to 'Super Yamaka'.By the way, there is no convenience store nearby. Above all, the seaside area is best enjoyed in the morning. If you get up a little earlier than usual, you don't have to take a shower, so go to the sea first.Walk barefoot along the sea. The feeling of sand on the soles of your feet, the temperature, and the slightly cold sea water will wake you up before you know it. On your way back, we recommend returning from Koshigoe Station.The station is decorated with seasonal origami made by the mothers of Koshigoe every month.
