HARE-TABI SAUNA&INN Yokohama, hotel in Kamakura

Ideally located in the centre of Yokohama, HARE-TABI SAUNA&INN Yokohama is within 4.7 km of Sankeien and 12 km of Nissan Stadium.

The location was right in Chinatown, great for food lovers! The beds were also some of the most comfortable beds I've slept in in a capsule hotel, as well. They were still a little hard, but I was comfortable. They also provided extra pillows. I really enjoyed having extra space in the "capsule rooms". They come with a little table and a little bit of extra floor space- it just fit my small suitcase. The capsule also had a fan, light, mirror, and tiny locker. They gave me a new towel every day. I didn't have any issues with noisy neighbors, but there were earplugs available. The capsule, bathrooms, and sauna were all very clean and had good amenities. The sauna was the best part! I loved it! The relaxation room was also very comfortable, and I almost fell asleep. They played some really soothing nature sounds and the lounge chairs were really nice. There are also mocktails available in the sauna. The staff were lovely and brought mine to me. The nearest train station was about 8 minutes walk. I felt safe even at night, as there were plenty of people around at all times. There were 3 conbinis close by too.

All hostels in Kamakura
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.
