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.

A special thank you to Mr. A Ming, our driver from Ansu Travel! He's a wonderful person, his vehicle is clean, and he's very punctual. He thoughtfully provided us with information about the timing for each attraction and recommended delicious restaurants. We were fortunate enough to see Mount Fuji in its full glory that day, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Mr. A Ming was also considerate of my father's needs, stopping at rest areas for restroom breaks. Highly recommended!
