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 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.

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.

perfect place for an overnight stay while we visited Kamakura! check-in was easy & staff was friendly. room and facility was really nice for a hostel. this accommodation exceeded my expectations! would stay here again. also very close to Hase station & Hase-dera so 10/10 for location. you can leave your bags ahead of time too which is super nice & makes traveling the area before check-in easy!

Although it is a bit of a distance from Hase Station, the scenery along the way is nice and the path is easy to follow. Above all, every single staff member is kind and delightful. In particular, the Japanese-style breakfast in the morning offers great value for the price. The first time slot is at 7:30 AM, and it's a pleasant way to start the day. Check-out time is 11:00 AM. The downsides are that convenience stores are a bit far away, and there is a lack of diverse amenities. Overall, I recommend it and thank you.

I booked the tour package for 3 people for myself and my younger sibling. The meeting point was clear and easy to find. The night before the tour, you’ll receive a reminder email with a more detailed itinerary.
My tour guide was Peter, and he was very kind and attentive. He always made sure no one in the group was left behind and explained everything clearly.
The whole trip was so enjoyable, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my Japan trip! Although I didn’t get to spend much time on Komachi Street due to the limited time, the tour was definitely worth it. Highly recommended! it would be great if klook can give more discount 🤘😝🤘

It was an all-day trip traveling by bus and then taking the subway. Tour guide Oh Sang-jun explained the destinations upon arrival, which was great because we knew where to go. Kamakura seemed a bit cheaper compared to other destinations. If sushi quality is rated high, medium, and low, the one we had was low—900 yen for 13 pieces. Overall, the trip was several times better than the first day. The last destination is a shrine where Koreans go crazy throwing coins into a pond. There is also a major shrine in Kamakura where you can infuse a paper doll with your energy to ward off bad luck.
