Ryokan highlights

A small Kamakura stay by Yuigahama Beach with sauna, balconies, and easy access to Hase sights.

Steps to YuigahamaAbout a two-minute walk to Yuigahama Beach for seaside strolls and relaxed mornings.
Hase Area BaseWell placed in Kamakura’s Hase district for temples, cafes, and neighborhood exploring.
Private Sauna RoomsSauna access is a distinctive perk that adds extra relaxation after sightseeing.
Balcony and GardenRooms include balconies, and the property’s garden adds a calm residential feel.
Comfort-Focused StayRecent guests rated cleanliness, comfort, and beds especially strongly.
Asian Breakfast OptionBuffet breakfast with Asian choices makes mornings convenient before heading out.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsLocation is the strongest stay-length driver here: you can check in, use the sauna, walk Yuigahama at sunset, then cover Hase-dera and the Great Buddha easily the next day. A second night only makes sense if you want a slower Kamakura beach-and-neighborhood rhythm instead of rushing onward.
Trip-planning verdict: AKAMA Kamakura works best as a 1-night Kamakura coast-and-temples stay or a relaxed 2-night Hase-area base, not as a long ryokan retreat.

Know before booking

Not a true onsenVerified sauna is a plus, but this is not a hot-spring ryokan stay.
Limited long-stay depthThe immediate Hase area is great for a short stay, but most travelers will run out of nearby must-see sights after 1-2 nights.
Beachside weather exposurePlans feel less rewarding in rain or windy coastal weather, especially if you chose it for walks and scenery.

Access, transport and nearby sights

AKAMA Kamakura is in Kamakura's Hase area and is most conveniently reached on foot from Hase Station, with Kamakura Station as the main onward rail hub and Haneda as the most practical airport.

Distances are approximate and calculated from the ryokan coordinates. Travel times may vary depending on route, traffic and schedules.

Should you choose this ryokan?

AKAMA Kamakura suits travelers who want a stylish stay in Kamakura’s Hase area with easy access to the beach, Enoden, and major sights. It is less ideal if you want a full-service traditional ryokan or the strongest value-for-money stay in town.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Excellent Hase locationThe ryokan is in Hase, about a 3-minute walk from Hase Station, which makes it very convenient for exploring Kamakura without a car. You can also reach famous local sights and the seaside on foot.
  • Very close to Yuigahama BeachThe property is only about 200 meters from Yuigahama Beach, so it works well for travelers who want a coastal Kamakura stay rather than a purely urban base. That beach access adds a relaxed, local feel to the trip.
  • Stylish Japanese-modern atmosphereGuests consistently highlight the traditional Japanese feel combined with modern comforts, giving the stay more character than a standard business hotel. It feels better suited to a memorable short getaway than a generic room.
  • Large private-stay feelReviews indicate the accommodation is spacious and can feel especially comfortable for small groups or families wanting more room. The private entrance and low-key setup can make the stay feel more exclusive.
  • Useful comfort extrasThe stay includes practical touches travelers appreciate, such as free Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a balcony, and access to a sauna. Breakfast options and an on-site café-bar also make mornings and evenings easier.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not a classic full-service ryokanIf you want a deeply traditional ryokan stay with elaborate kaiseki dinners, hot spring bathing, and a highly ceremonial atmosphere, this property is more modern and simplified. It leans toward boutique accommodation rather than a heritage ryokan experience.
  • Value may feel unevenGuest scoring suggests the overall stay is strong, but value-for-money is rated lower than cleanliness, staff, and location. Travelers on a tighter budget may feel they are paying more for style and location than for extensive services.
  • Limited scale and facilitiesThis is a small 2-star property, so you should not expect the breadth of amenities found in a larger hotel or luxury ryokan. The experience is more intimate, but also less comprehensive.
  • Best for Hase, not all KamakuraThe location is excellent for Hase sights and the beach, but it is not right next to Kamakura Station or the city’s broader shopping and transport hub. If you plan frequent rail transfers beyond the Enoden area, the base may feel slightly less efficient.
  • May not suit travelers wanting anonymityBecause it appears to have a small-scale, personal setup, the stay can feel more intimate than a standard hotel. That is charming for some guests, but travelers who prefer a larger property with round-the-clock hotel-style structure may prefer something else.
