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.

Good, friendly choice for travellers on a budget
Great budget spot from which to see a Kamakura. Tomoya, his girlfriend Nobia and the rest of the staff working in Irodori are incredibly friendly and helpful. Tomoya is very informative about Japanese history and culture, and even provides tours of the surrounding areas. His breakfasts were tasty and light - the perfect way to start a day or sightseeing. They also provided kimono dress up and calligraphy practice for free when I was there which wound up being great fun. The guesthouse provides a very friendly environment and I was able to meet some fantastic people here - both staff and guests. With regards to the rooms themselves, they are very basic and the walls are thin, so this wouldn’t be the ideal spot for a romantic getaway. All the surfaces are clean but there was a bit of clutter in my room. Also, there is only one shower for all five or so rooms...this wasn’t a problem when I was there but something to keep in mind. No locks on the bedroom doors either. All in all, this is a basic but very friendly guesthouse which is perfect for the budget traveller looking to meet people. I would definitely recommend it!

Quaint certainly describes this guesthouse. However, the host, Tomoya-san, is outstandingly hospitable, knowledgeable about Kamakura and his command of the English language is remarkable, considering I was in Japan. After a little misadventure in another city, I was more than a little late checking-in but Tomoya-san was very accommodating, and even offered to keep my luggage the next day after check out so I could explore Kamakura, as I was only passing by for a day. The next day, he made a traditional breakfast for me to enjoy and told me about the history of Kamakura while helping me map out my day in order to make the most out of it. Thank you for making this part of my journey memorable, keep on embodying the Japanese samurai spirit!

Awesome host!
The hostel in itself was so-so but the host was so great! He was really welcoming, the breakfast was amazing and he was really accomodating. He was OK with changing our room as the original one was a bit small for 2 people... And it's only a 10mn walk to the beach! I would recommend it if you like guesthouses :)

Plus une auberge q'n hôtel, mais typiquement japonais. Plus pour l'ambiance que pour le confort d'n hôtel à proprement parlé. En revanche, hôte adorable, disponible, préparant un petit-déjeuner traditionnel, toujours prêt à rendre service et à discuter. Un "vrai" samouraï!
