When my neighbors talked, I knew what they said. No blackout curtains. One bathroom for half a dozen rooms. Sink counter was wooden and filthy. Only bathroom sink was also for cleaning dishes. Shower had no cool water. Nice electronic door locks, but very loud beeps. Close to the train station—close enough to hear every train and the caution bells for the street crossing. Only one very bright light in my room and the switch was by the door.

Fairly quiet despite lack of insulation. Bed was decent. AC worked well.

It's in a very good location for Kamakura, next to a quirky little amazing used bookstore full of treasure. It's not that hard to find, it's well-signposted. The room I stayed in was very cute and had a little balcony area where I could enjoy my morning coffee. The building is pretty cold, though it wasn't an issue with an air-conditioner, I forgot how these old Japanese buildings could get cold with timber floors and single glass doors.

This place was so cool! LOVED the old house that the rooms are situated in - it was so quiet and peaceful and I had my own access to the garden. The rooms have beautiful murals painted on the walls and I had some of the best sleep of my entire trip here. I wish I would have stayed longer! The location is also super central and right near the JR line and local line station. Lots of cafes and shops in the area, yet the house is tucked away in a quiet street so it feels like a nice break from the hustle and bustle. The staff are super friendly and fun to talk to. Can't wait to stay here again when I return!

Absolute 0 sound proof in this ancient style place. While the look is nice and feels authentic, I could only sleep a few hours because of the noise. And ultimately want you want to do is rest ..

Nice staff - authentic style

Such a tiny room for two people. No space to even open suitcases. When the ladder is in place to get to the top bunk, it blocks the door. The sliding door wouldn't slide.

Good location near the train station. Friendly and helpful staff.

As they state the walls are thin but they are transparent about this and provide earplugs upon request.

The bed was extremely comfortable, the staff were very welcoming and helpful, the facilities were everything we could need. Wise we could have stayed longer!

The whole building felt very cramped. The bathroom was next to the kitchen sink / cooking area, which was next to the general bathroom sink, which was right in front of the reception booth. So, unless you were in your room, you always felt very self-conscious about being in other people's spaces. The dryer had a thick layer of dust in the vents. The walls are very thin (they do warn you about that).

The location was close to Kamakura train station. The house had a quaint, traditional vibe. The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Washer and dryer were free to use.

That said, the house is lovely, but it's old, so it might not be for everyone. The walls are thin (as it says in the description) and you can hear lots of sounds including the train. I didn't mind it, plus other guests were quiet, but it might be a bother.

This place is unique. I was looking for a more traditional lodging with affordable price and it was a perfect match. I really enjoyed the vibe of an old Japanese house. The staff showed me around, I loved the free of charge dryer and the common space. The room felt a bit cold, but I got an extra blanket. The overall atmosphere was great, definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone while in Japan, on par with staying in a ryokan or love hotel.

Noise from the trains and from snoring others in neighbour room. Walls are really thin!

Location and room interior.

Just be aware that the room walls are paper thin and you can hear everything.

The girl who explained everything was super nice and also gave us a little present... she was the best! Also the location next to the train station was nice. The rooms were themed and I liked it.

Nothing - it’s nice.

Super cute Japanese style house in the middle of the town. I got the double room to myself and it was very cute. However I think the highlight is the staff, the girls were amazing and available :) Thanks for everything!
