Quiet, great location, right above JR Ofuna Station, restaurants, and drugstores. A few minutes' walk to the suspended monorail for Kamakura Enoshima Station. The front desk service is very friendly and speaks some Chinese, making communication easy. They also allowed us to check in early around 2:30 PM. Kamakura is beautiful, and we saw Mount Fuji 🗻. Ofuna's nightlife has a local, lively feel, a pleasant surprise during our trip.

It seems this was my mistake for booking without double-checking the reservation; I thought I was getting a women-only space. But this place is comfortable.

Dream turned into reality with a tour to Kamakura 🥰We were thinking of doing a day trip ourselves, no tour, but we were right to book the klook tour for the first time. There was so much to see and do (we loved it so much 🥲and we were lucky to see Mt. Fuji 😍) and our tour guide Allan Tan was the best at doing it (great at giving facts and recommendations which we took since time was so little!) Plus he was the life of the party!🎉😂 Defininitley appreciated a tour that wasn’t boring! Will definitely book a tour with klook again and with Allan! Arigato gozaimasu 💚
