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.

General info
What to know before visiting Kamakura
What to do in Kamakura
Kamakura is best known for guided Tours, followed by Cultural experiences and Massages — those are the top booking categories on Klook. The city’s rhythm through the year is marked by a clear summer high: Klook booking data shows June as a strong peak month, while February is the quietest. That means travellers who prioritise a lively atmosphere should aim for the early summer window, while those seeking a calmer visit will find fewer crowds in late winter. Decide whether you want festival-season buzz or a quieter shoreline escape.
Based on Klook booking data.
When to go and what to expect
June is the busiest month on Klook, with demand rising sharply, and February is the calmest month with much lower booking levels; prices, however, peak at different times, so crowd and cost don’t always move together. The price series shows typical paid amounts drifting between SGD 54 and SGD 59 across the year; July is the priciest month and November the cheapest. If you want smaller crowds and relatively lower prices, consider November or the quieter winter months; for peak-season atmosphere choose April–June when demand is highest.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | SGD 54 |
| February | Very quiet | SGD 55 |
| March | Quieter than usual | SGD 55 |
| April | Peak demand | SGD 54 |
| May | Peak demand | SGD 59 |
| June | Peak demand | SGD 58 |
| July | About average | SGD 59 |
| August | Quieter than usual | SGD 57 |
| September | Quieter than usual | SGD 57 |
| October | Quieter than usual | SGD 57 |
| November | About average | SGD 54 |
| December | Busier than usual | SGD 55 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Singapore
Most travellers from Singapore lock things in about two weeks ahead, with the earliest planners booking around one month out. That means you have room to be flexible and can often book closer to travel for off-peak months, but during the April–June peak it pays to reserve earlier. Klook booking data also shows a short last-minute window for some experiences, typically within 4 days, so keep an eye out for late availability.
Book on Klook when you know your dates to secure the popular Tours and Cultural experiences, and use the platform to compare typical prices and cancellation terms before deciding — it helps you balance planning with flexibility. Based on Klook booking data.
