Samurai Guesthouse irodori Kamakura

Guesthouse Irodori was very interesting, and I'm happy me and my 88 year old, Japanese-born mother stayed here. At first thought, one would think it very strange that an Japanese/American Grandma and her 64 y.o. American daughter would stay at a "Minshuku" type of house. But, we had made last minute plans to travel to Tokyo for 1 month to visit a family member having surgery. We stayed two nights in Kamakura to look at real estate and visit a friend in the area. This was great for us and allowed us to do what we needed with a local place to sleep at night. Our Samurai host, Bushi-san, and his small staff are kind and wonderfully warm people. We loved meeting the much-younger travelers from the US and China and Spain and enjoyed sharing dinner with them for those two nights. Out of our month-long trip to Japan, we accomplished our mission during our 2 days in Kamakura and then moved on to stay with relatives around Tokyo and Odawara. My only small/minor issue was the lighting in our room was not very bright, and our room was right next to the dining area where guests gathered to talk and enjoy themselves for a small party on our first night. That said, we were so tired that the noise ultimately didn't matter. I recommend Guesthouse Irodori for anyone who is open to meeting other travelers from different parts of the world. The location is within walking distance of the train station, and one can also walk about 15-20 minutes through the residential area to see the beach.

(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!

The staff were very nice. Bushi-san was busy on my day of arrival (they have a lot of activities in Kamakura), but they left me a welcome packet with all the information. I met Bushi-san the morning after for breakfast. I also got to meet Yoko-san. She was very kind. The guesthouse is small, and the building is old and charming. I slept on a futon in a room equipped with tatamimats and traditional screen doors. It was amazing to sleep in a traditional room. The futon is perhaps on the thinner side, but they had more than one so you could perhaps stack them. The guesthouse is kept clean (and has a lot of interesting stuff to look at!), but you can see that is has some wear and tear. If you're looking for a super shiny modern place to stay, this is not for you. It's close to the Kamakura station and to the sea. Wadenya station is even closer than Kamakura station, and from there you can take a direct train to Enoshima.

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.

A great location to explore the local sights, the beach and within walking distance of the train station. This typical Japanese home was a delight and I had a great time here. The owners are wonderful. Thank you.

Not as advertised. No locks on door, guy didn’t check our passports, flimsy windows and doors, noisy, beds hard and definitely not comfortable. It was awkward walking into a personal dinner party with our gear and he was not even aware we arriving

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!!

引き戸を開けると甲冑姿の店主がお出迎え 丁寧な説明を受けて入室 ネットで予約したからか、記帳はなかった 部屋にはちゃぶ台や日本人形、屏風、和箪笥など古民家の調度品が多々あり 寝具が青に統一された敷き布団 テレビはない 電気が小さなLED2個と和風ペンダントライト1つ 現代の部屋の明るさではないため、本などを読むのは無理かな？ 現代的なWifiはある（笑） バスはシャワーのみでトイレと一体型のユニットバス 居間には掘り炬燵の長テーブル ここで、食事が出来る 朝食はなんと9時から 賄いを作ってくれる若い女性 とても快活な方で明るく話しかけてくれる ここは古民家のペンションという感じ 朝、散歩していたら、店主が甲冑を来て自転車を漕いでいた（笑） お二人の人柄に癒やされた宿泊でした P.S.朝ごはん付きとは知らず、散歩の途中で食べてきてしまったのを告げるとおにぎりにして持たせてくれた 温かい気遣いに感謝です

If you are looking for a regular hotel experience, this is not the right choice for you. But if you would like to experience something fun, interesting and authentic, you have found the right place. The location of this b&b is great; walking distance from the train station, to the beach and the big Buddha. Our host is very nice, fun and open-minded with excellent English. The breakfast is great and it was nice to eat together with the other guests around the one table in the kitchen. Our room was small for four people, but we managed to fit the four matresses. The shared bathroom is small and cramped, but worked very well. We will come back!

Bushi-san was the best host. He makes the whole experience and even speaks very good English. We experienced a tsunami warning and had to cancel our flight back home. Bushi allowed us to stay another night. He was very good with the kids. He made lots of jokes, let kids try out the samurai weapons and armor, and even made shaved ice with our kids. Bushi-san makes this B&B a lively and exciting experience. The property itself is outdated with lots of random knick knacks. The futons were a little too flat and uncomfortable —feels like camping. There is a shared bathroom with all the guests. However, the people we encountered were all lovely and we clicked with them. My children had fun interacting with another family with children. I wouldn’t trade my experience with a hotel experience, which tend to be cold and impersonal. I highly recommend Bushi-san’s property for a one-of-a-kind Japan experience.

宿泊者は私一人だけでしたので、チェックイン時は誰もいなくて電話番号が玄関先に書かれていたので、そちらに電話をし電話対応で部屋に入りました。家主は外出中でした。留守宅に入るのは何だか気乗りがしませんでした。 古民家でしたのでしょうがないとは思いますが、部屋のハンガーに虫が這っていました。テレビもありませんでした。

Wadenya station is even closer than Kamakura station, and from there you can take a direct train to Enoshima.

the place was clean the breakfast was ample the host was friendly there are three rooms - 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs - and if you are of a certain age and need an afternoon nap you should not be downstairs. On both days there were people in the living room and even the little noise they made was disturbing because of paper-thin walls. So if you need naps and privacy ask for upstairs.

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!

築90年以上の古民家に泊めてとっても嬉しかったです。宿自体は清潔感あって過ごし安くてとてもよかったです。何よりオーナーの武士さんはとても優しくとても気さくな方で、たくさんお話しができてお陰様ででいい旅になりました。また来たいと思います。その節はよろしくお願いします。

The guest host was friendly and easy to talk to! The breakfast was one of the best meals I had while traveling in Japan, and all the instructions were clear. The guesthouse is well-maintained and the location is also convenient (not far from the train station). Each guest gets a separate bedroom, with everything you could ask for in it. The neighborhood is quaint, so you can relax easily. Thank you for everything :) PS: my cousin had a laugh when I showed him the Petit Prince painting and complimented it!

Amazing stay! Very clean with nice location. Super friendly host who joined us for a wonderful breakfast that far exceeded our expectations. Would certainly stay here again

The property have traditional outlook. It's perfect for anyone who want to experience the staying in Japanese style room. The only downside is since the building is old so you will need to watch out for the noise from other guests.

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.

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.

I never stayed at this place. The host sent me an email asking me to cancel my booking as he booked to someone else.

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!

Not as advertised. No locks on door, guy didn’t check our passports, flimsy windows and doors, noisy, beds hard and definitely not comfortable. It was awkward walking into a personal dinner party with our gear and he was not even aware we arriving

Unique and the little ideas and cost is friendly for user. But sleep mat was very thin compared to normal. The old house charm was nice. I wish we could see staff as we left but there was no method to reach

The owner (bushi) of the guesthouse was such an amazing and kind person. He gave a tour around Kamakura and made delicious breakfast for me and my husband. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying at a guest house but it became a precious memory.

Amazing stay! Very clean with nice location. Super friendly host who joined us for a wonderful breakfast that far exceeded our expectations. Would certainly stay here again

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!

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.

朝食の時間が予約時に知らされておらず 朝早く出発したかったので、朝食付きのプランだったが朝食が遅く食べれなかった。

This is one of the best experiences I've ever had staying somewher, Our host Bushi was extremely friendly, and made our visit one to remember, we learnt alot about the area and about Kamukuras origin, I highly recommend adding the breakfast option to your stay as it was delicious, I'd give 6 stars if I could

Bashi was a wonderful host. Breakfast delicious. Ticked all my boxes.

Super séjour à Kamakura dans cette maison traditionnelle. Très bon accueil de notre hôte et très bon petit déjeuner preparé avec soins. Séjour convivial que je recommande vivement.

引き戸を開けると甲冑姿の店主がお出迎え 丁寧な説明を受けて入室 ネットで予約したからか、記帳はなかった 部屋にはちゃぶ台や日本人形、屏風、和箪笥など古民家の調度品が多々あり 寝具が青に統一された敷き布団 テレビはない 電気が小さなLED2個と和風ペンダントライト1つ 現代の部屋の明るさではないため、本などを読むのは無理かな？ 現代的なWifiはある（笑） バスはシャワーのみでトイレと一体型のユニットバス 居間には掘り炬燵の長テーブル ここで、食事が出来る 朝食はなんと9時から 賄いを作ってくれる若い女性 とても快活な方で明るく話しかけてくれる ここは古民家のペンションという感じ 朝、散歩していたら、店主が甲冑を来て自転車を漕いでいた（笑） お二人の人柄に癒やされた宿泊でした P.S.朝ごはん付きとは知らず、散歩の途中で食べてきてしまったのを告げるとおにぎりにして持たせてくれた 温かい気遣いに感謝です

If you are looking for a regular hotel experience, this is not the right choice for you. But if you would like to experience something fun, interesting and authentic, you have found the right place. The location of this b&b is great; walking distance from the train station, to the beach and the big Buddha. Our host is very nice, fun and open-minded with excellent English. The breakfast is great and it was nice to eat together with the other guests around the one table in the kitchen. Our room was small for four people, but we managed to fit the four matresses. The shared bathroom is small and cramped, but worked very well. We will come back!

The owner (bushi) of the guesthouse was such an amazing and kind person. He gave a tour around Kamakura and made delicious breakfast for me and my husband. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying at a guest house but it became a precious memory.

Amazing stay! Very clean with nice location. Super friendly host who joined us for a wonderful breakfast that far exceeded our expectations. Would certainly stay here again
