Erika helped me throughout the entire process she’s very sweet and speaks a bit of English. I picked the high end package and paid extra there for the better accessories I wanted but the package came with some lovely choices.

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 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.

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.
