Amazing guesthouse very closely situated to the Hase Station (approx 5-7 min walking time) and to some of the major attractions like Hase-dare shrine and the great Buddah. I was staying there due to a business trip and everything needed was there (had a room with own bathroom, a nice full body mirror to get ready for business meetings etc). The staff also provides some toiletries (e.g. Toothbrush) and slippers. The staff is super friendly and supportive. The room and bathroom / washing facilities are very clean. Instructions for check out are provided. To note: it is a guest house where some facilities are shared (e.g. toilets, common room / kitchen). Also, as some other reviewes mentioned the walls are a bit thin (ear plugs can do the trick) but I cannot really complain as I had some very mindful neighbours. The price, given the amazing location, is very appropriate. All in all I highly recommend staying here. In case I return to Kamakura I would rebook this guesthouse.

Had such a lovely stay at Guesthouse Shibafu. The place is so cute and full of charm. The staff member (the guy) was so lovely and welcoming. It had everything you could need, was super clean, and the kitchen was really well equipped. Location is perfect too, less than 10 minute walk to the beach! Walls are slightly thin, but honestly other than that it was absolutely perfect, would happily stay again!

Firstly, the location is great: hidden in a small quiet street but close to Kotoku-in, Hasedera and the Enoden line.|The room is cleverly arranged and fully-equipped.|Finally, the bar/restaurant at the entrance gives a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

GREAT PLACE HONESTLY. The staff was so nice, the inkeeper Jiro is a wonderful guy. The food is pretty great since most places there close quite early unless you want to take a trip for Kamakura stn or enoshima for food, you can get good food here. The rooms are very comfy and traditional. Honestly zero fhi gs to complain. Be nice and friendly and everything will go great. And say hi to the dog Niko

A tiny, quiet, homely spot. The location is excellent, and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Just a heads-up for travelers with big bags or mobility issues: the stairs are very steep and narrow. If that’s not a concern, then it’s no problem at all.

The staff is super friendly and helped me carry the luggage to the room also helped me take downstairs. Also helped me call a taxi even helped me pull my luggage to outside waiting for me get on the cab and left ! It’s so rare even in Taiwan they won’t help you to do that ! The food I had the night before was super tasty . It’s next to the guesthouse, I think it’s also belonging to the guesthouse, because the staff was the same guy who help me carry my luggage upstairs. I chose grilled steak with veggies and the appetite was also great ! Super delicious! It even tastes better than a proper restaurant! And people were in the bar super friendly and helped me up my journey in Kamakura told me which ways I go would saved my time. Let me feel super warm and like that place so much ! One day trip was too short there are so many beautiful places to see ! I would definitely come back again and stay more days here next year! Thanks for helping me ! ❤️

Very nice place to stay. Everything is pretty clean, the building is very cozy and the owner very friendly. The room we stayed at was very clean but kinda small for two grown adults. You meet very nice people and can also join the bar/restaurant next doors owned by the same people.

We stayed in a room, everything was completely clean and as pictured but might be tight fit if you travel with big luggage. The host was super super friendly and accommodating!
