what a great experience even after as first timers to Japan and Tokyo navigating the trains a bit hectic in but the directions was clear and the ladies were very pleasant , getting my children and myself and friend ready to model our kimonos . we had lots of head turns. happy I could have used this app in the last minute to book an activity for my birthday.

For this kimono rental experience, the staff were friendly and offered styling advice. The shop has a wide variety of styles, and the package includes a top, bottom, socks, shoes, a bag, and accessories, so you're sure to find something you love. Additionally, convenient Chinese language service is available, as are yukata plans and photography services. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to try different outfits in Kamakura.

Very beautiful selection of yukatas and kimonos. The staff was very friendly and polite and was very professional in dressing me and doing my hair. The best part is everything is already included in the price (hairdo, hair accessories, bag and shoes). Will definitely be back again when I visit Kamakura again! ❤️

The most satisfying experience of my trip to Japan!! The staff were so kind, and even though it's pricey, it's an experience worth doing at least once. Highly recommended! However, the shoes are really hard to get used to—my feet hurt so much, but I still loved it overall. Awesome 🖤 My friend was satisfied too, and they did such a wonderful job with my hair. Photos turned out great, so I love it!

The tea ceremony felt very authentic and real. We loved that it was smaller and not so commerical and touristy. it was a little hard to find the location, but we figured it out. Would absolutely recommend.

Ofuna Station is an excellent choice for visiting Kamakura and Enoshima, as the monorail gets you to Enoshima in just 15 minutes. Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kamakura-Ofuna is very close to the station, less than a 5-minute walk away. Shopping downstairs is convenient with many convenience stores and pharmacies, and there is also a department store inside the station. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious with a great variety of items, including homemade tofu pudding! One day, I even came across a small market held inside the hotel. Overall, the entire experience was wonderful :)

The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the lobby on the first floor has plenty of amenities that you can grab yourself. The hotel is about a two-minute walk from the station, making it very convenient for visiting Kamakura and Fujisawa, and you can even head directly back to Narita Airport from there in the end.

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.
