If you are looking for a regular hotel experience, this is not the right choice for you. But if you would like to experience something fun, interesting and authentic, you have found the right place. The location of this b&b is great; walking distance from the train station, to the beach and the big Buddha. Our host is very nice, fun and open-minded with excellent English. The breakfast is great and it was nice to eat together with the other guests around the one table in the kitchen. Our room was small for four people, but we managed to fit the four matresses. The shared bathroom is small and cramped, but worked very well. We will come back!

I never stayed at this place. The host sent me an email asking me to cancel my booking as he booked to someone else.

The staff were very nice. Bushi-san was busy on my day of arrival (they have a lot of activities in Kamakura), but they left me a welcome packet with all the information. I met Bushi-san the morning after for breakfast. I also got to meet Yoko-san. She was very kind. The guesthouse is small, and the building is old and charming. I slept on a futon in a room equipped with tatamimats and traditional screen doors. It was amazing to sleep in a traditional room. The futon is perhaps on the thinner side, but they had more than one so you could perhaps stack them. The guesthouse is kept clean (and has a lot of interesting stuff to look at!), but you can see that is has some wear and tear. If you're looking for a super shiny modern place to stay, this is not for you. It's close to the Kamakura station and to the sea. Wadenya station is even closer than Kamakura station, and from there you can take a direct train to Enoshima.

One thing I like most was the owner and staff warm hospitality, kindness and good English conversation . The breakfast served was Japanese food which was a healthy meal and the price of staying is affordable compared to other places. I highly recommend this place.

Great location

A great location to explore the local sights, the beach and within walking distance of the train station. This typical Japanese home was a delight and I had a great time here. The owners are wonderful. Thank you.

Great guesthouse

The guest host was friendly and easy to talk to! The breakfast was one of the best meals I had while traveling in Japan, and all the instructions were clear. The guesthouse is well-maintained and the location is also convenient (not far from the train station). Each guest gets a separate bedroom, with everything you could ask for in it. The neighborhood is quaint, so you can relax easily. Thank you for everything :) PS: my cousin had a laugh when I showed him the Petit Prince painting and complimented it!

Bushi our amazing host

Love the Japanese guest house simplicity. Our host’s name is Bushi who wears a samurai outfit all day long. He offers tours of the city and also works with handicapped people. Amazing gentleman and a super host!

Stay with a real samurai!

Bushi was amazing!! he was extremely welcoming, very friendly and cooked some amazing traditional breakfast each morning. As well, the atmosphere of the guest house was extremely relaxed and easy-going. He was conveniently located to shops, restaurants, tourist, attractions, and getting around is quite easy. If we ever come to Kamakura again staying at the guest house will be an obvious place to stay.

Amazing and unique experience

I love staying in more traditional lodging when visiting Japan, and Irodori was what I was looking for. The host, Bushi, is a kind genuine person with a passion for his town and community and the sincerity and generosity of his character made my time in Kamakura much better, so thank you Bushi. The upstairs room was small and cozy, the space in the guesthouse can be narrow and cluttered, so if you are used to large hotels this is not it. I met very fun/kind travelers there, especially while enjoying breakfast with them in the morning. If you can, I absolutely recommend you staying here.

Not as advertised. No locks on door, guy didn’t check our passports, flimsy windows and doors, noisy, beds hard and definitely not comfortable. It was awkward walking into a personal dinner party with our gear and he was not even aware we arriving

Bushi-san really makes this place extremely fun and special! It was a very unique experience to stay in a lovely traditional style home, with such a gracious and fun host. The traditional homemade Japanese breakfast was delicious. The other guests staying at the property were friendly and it was wonderful to spend a meal together. I wish we could have stayed another night! The property is close to Kamakura station and easily accessible to lots of shops and restaurants. Kamakura is such a lovely beach town. We will definitely be back!

Friendly atmosphere, good location

This was a fun place to stay. Had a good breakfast every morning and talked to other guests who were travelling from different countries. Bushi was an excellent host, very friendly and outgoing. The house was old and small but cozy and filled with all kinds of knick-knacks. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the shopping center which had a lot of food stands. As a westerner, I found the futon mattresses were difficult to adjust to, especially since this was my first time staying in a japanese style room, but if that's something you're comfortable with, I definitely recommend staying a night or two here.

The property have traditional outlook. It's perfect for anyone who want to experience the staying in Japanese style room. The only downside is since the building is old so you will need to watch out for the noise from other guests.

Unique and the little ideas and cost is friendly for user. But sleep mat was very thin compared to normal. The old house charm was nice. I wish we could see staff as we left but there was no method to reach

Property was much smaller than pictured. The place was tiny, and cluttered. The check-in was until 9pm, but there was nobody at the property at 8pm when we arrive with the door unlocked. The room is not adequate for 4 adults. The bathroom was in poor condition. Pillows were paper thin. The room was a storage closet, where a large area was unable to be used due to storage. There was nowhere to put luggage when the beds were laid out. Hoarders paradise. Cost per night was outrageous. Could have had a private hotel for that price, but would have rather stayed in a 20 person dorm room. WOOD NOT RECOMEND TO ANYONE BUT AN ENEMY!!
