Bushi our amazing host

Love the Japanese guest house simplicity. Our host’s name is Bushi who wears a samurai outfit all day long. He offers tours of the city and also works with handicapped people. Amazing gentleman and a super host!

Stay with a real samurai!

Bushi was amazing!! he was extremely welcoming, very friendly and cooked some amazing traditional breakfast each morning. As well, the atmosphere of the guest house was extremely relaxed and easy-going. He was conveniently located to shops, restaurants, tourist, attractions, and getting around is quite easy. If we ever come to Kamakura again staying at the guest house will be an obvious place to stay.

Amazing and unique experience

I love staying in more traditional lodging when visiting Japan, and Irodori was what I was looking for. The host, Bushi, is a kind genuine person with a passion for his town and community and the sincerity and generosity of his character made my time in Kamakura much better, so thank you Bushi. The upstairs room was small and cozy, the space in the guesthouse can be narrow and cluttered, so if you are used to large hotels this is not it. I met very fun/kind travelers there, especially while enjoying breakfast with them in the morning. If you can, I absolutely recommend you staying here.

My biggest regret booking here is that I only booked one night! This place is wonderful in many many ways: It's located very close to Kamakura Station, easy to find, easily accessible, and affordable! The best thing about this place isn't what you'd find in a standard hotel: This feels like a home. The decor and architecture of the home have a wonderful charm and history to them, and they're all wonderfully maintained by the owners. Every other hotel I've stayed in feels cold and impersonal, but Guesthouse Irodori feels like someone cares and cherishes the space. The owners are wonderful, too! I only briefly got to meet Bushi-san, but when we arrived he had just finished making mochi with some kids from the community. Megumi-san prepared an absolutely delicious breakfast that we got to enjoy over good conversation with other patrons. They took our bags in before check-in at no extra cost, and they were incredibly friendly in every interaction. If I had to make any complaint, it's that the futons/pillows were a little thin. Even so, I'm sure if I had said anything, they would've made accomodations. There were lots of things in the house to accommodate folks with disabilities, which I really respect and appreciate. If you're thinking about going to Kamakura, go! If you're going to Kamakura, stay here! Stay for more than one night! It's more than a place to sleep for a night, it's a lovely experience all together!

(1) Location: great. 10 minutes walking to Kamakura station. Flat ground but some are cobbled. (2) Quiet. In a quiet corner. I think this is the r best part (3) Room specs: it wasn’t clear that this is a shared bathroom - I wouldn’t have booked it! And that is costs extra to leave luggage after you check out, even if you’re coming back the same day. I told them fine, I’ll come back by 10am (checkout time) and even then they want to charge! I had to argue with them. In the end good thing I finished sightseeing that day. Next day I left early for Tokyo (4) Breakfast. They serve it from 9-930. It’s as if they’re don’t want you to avail of it. If you’re sightseeing, who eats at 9! X (5) I ate lunch - curry had 2 pieces of minuscule paper thin pork lots of potatoes. Tea is tasteless. (6) there is no lock in the room. I had to lock valuables in the suitcase. No peace of mind. (7) public toilet in second floor stank of urine. (8) public shower on the ground floor. Nowhere to put anything. Mind you - have to take your purse right? Because no lock in the room? (9) Airconditioner / heater worked well. This is a plus. Thank God I stayed only 1 night!

I’ve stayed in over a dozen hotels and such during this trip. Guest House Irodori Kamakura is by far the best and most comfortable place I have been. The staff, the owner Bushisan, and the neighbors are amazing and friendly people. I will genuinely miss being here. It felt like being at home.

Property was much smaller than pictured. The place was tiny, and cluttered. The check-in was until 9pm, but there was nobody at the property at 8pm when we arrive with the door unlocked. The room is not adequate for 4 adults. The bathroom was in poor condition. Pillows were paper thin. The room was a storage closet, where a large area was unable to be used due to storage. There was nowhere to put luggage when the beds were laid out. Hoarders paradise. Cost per night was outrageous. Could have had a private hotel for that price, but would have rather stayed in a 20 person dorm room. WOOD NOT RECOMEND TO ANYONE BUT AN ENEMY!!

Bushi-san really makes this place extremely fun and special! It was a very unique experience to stay in a lovely traditional style home, with such a gracious and fun host. The traditional homemade Japanese breakfast was delicious. The other guests staying at the property were friendly and it was wonderful to spend a meal together. I wish we could have stayed another night! The property is close to Kamakura station and easily accessible to lots of shops and restaurants. Kamakura is such a lovely beach town. We will definitely be back!

Friendly atmosphere, good location

This was a fun place to stay. Had a good breakfast every morning and talked to other guests who were travelling from different countries. Bushi was an excellent host, very friendly and outgoing. The house was old and small but cozy and filled with all kinds of knick-knacks. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the shopping center which had a lot of food stands. As a westerner, I found the futon mattresses were difficult to adjust to, especially since this was my first time staying in a japanese style room, but if that's something you're comfortable with, I definitely recommend staying a night or two here.
Beach is a 5 minute walk
