WeBase Kamakura is a small design-minded hotel in Yuigahama, near the beach and a three minute walk from Yuigahama Station on the Enoden. It offers nine room types, from Japanese-style rooms to twin and double rooms with a king bed, all non-smoking, with bidets and free toiletries. A restaurant and a terrace make it feel like a seaside retreat, and facilities include a bathhouse, laundry, bike rental and a twenty-four hour front desk. Continental breakfast is available for an extra charge. Parking is limited. Hase Station and the Great Buddha are about a ten minute walk away, and Kamakura Station is a short Enoden ride.
Location puts you near the beach and the Hase temples rather than the station crowds. You can walk to Yuigahama beach in a few minutes, to the Great Buddha and Hase-dera in around ten, and ride the Enoden to Kamakura Station in minutes. The Yuigahama area is relaxed in the evening, with cafes and small restaurants nearby, though it is quieter than the area around the station.
Rooms are modern and comfortable. Choose a Japanese-style room if you want tatami and futons, or a twin or king bed if you prefer a Western layout. The hotel has a gender-separated bathhouse, which is a pleasant way to relax after a day of walking, and the restaurant serves set courses in the evening. Bike rental is convenient for exploring the coast, though the roads can be busy at weekends. Check-in is in the afternoon and check-out is late morning.
The hotel suits couples, small groups and travellers who want style and a sea-town feel without resort prices. It is not the best option if you need to be steps from the station for late trains, and parking is limited, so use the Enoden if you can. Weekends and the summer beach season fill early, so book ahead.
Good to know
The terrace and bathhouse are the best way to wind down after a day of temple steps, and the restaurant means you can dine without a taxi after dark. Hire a bicycle in the morning for the coast road, but return it before the evening rush, and keep to the quieter lanes at weekends.
