This time, I chose to stay at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kamakura-Ofuna Higashiguchi, which is conveniently located near Ofuna Station. There are drugstores, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby, and the shopping mall integrated with the station is also great for browsing. The room was a bit small, but it had everything I needed. On the second floor, there's an ice machine, washing machine, and microwave. It was very convenient for my trip to see the hydrangeas in Kamakura and Kita-Kamakura, and to visit Enoshima.

The hotel is within walking distance of Kamakura Station, and there are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, making it very convenient. The hotel lobby and entrance are beautiful, and there's a green plant area that's beautifully lit at night, creating a lovely atmosphere. The room was very clean, giving off a great vacation vibe. The Muji breakfast was also excellent and delicious. This is definitely a place I'd want to stay at again.

Our driver mr 神藤志良 is such a nice and understanding driver, we enjoyed chatting with him along the way, and he is very attentive to our needs. highly recommended if you have young kids travelling with you as it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. he recommended us nice spots and also a nice place for lunch as it was our first time in Japan. thank you so much!

Mr. Li was our driver, and there were 6 adults in total (the children are quite large and already in high school). The driver was very kind, giving him a hundred points 💯. He would confirm the time the day before! He also drove slowly, allowing me to take pictures of the Shonan Monorail in Fujisawa 💕. Because the elders were almost 80 years old, they didn't have the energy to go to Enoshima station, so thankfully we chartered a car. We quickly got in the car and returned to the hotel, and the overtime was calculated reasonably. I hope the company can provide a larger vehicle for 6 adults in the future, otherwise it's a bit too cramped 😂
Cleanliness: Very good 👍
Service: Very good 👍

Driver was friendly and accomodate to my requests. Good recommendation for our breakfast and lunch! However the car seats were so wet that our pants were soaked. Informed the driver and he did lay down some papers for us.
