Kamakura Prince Hotel

Having lived nearby for almost 30 years, I’ve occasionally used this Hotel when relatives from out of town or guests from overseas visit and I want them to relax and enjoy a leisurely weekend locally. It’s a classic, time-honored Japanese resort-style Hotel, and everything—from the service and views to the building itself and the staff’s hospitality—is reliably high quality. It always delivers a wonderful experience that feels as if time has stood still for the past 30 years, never failing my expectations. Considering this level of quality, I find the price very reasonable. With more inbound visitors and the area becoming increasingly lively, and with various Accommodations opening nearby, I imagine things must be challenging in many ways—but I sincerely hope you will continue providing the same service without change, like a part of Japan’s traditional culture.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve made it a habit to stay in Kamakura twice a year.This was my first time staying at this Hotel.From check-in until I left the Hotel, the staff were consistently gracious, with refined service and elegant manners, making my stay truly comfortable.I also enjoyed the meals very much.Since the cuisine is so good, I would have liked a slightly wider selection of wines.Although it is French cuisine, I felt that having options such as Italian Nebbiolo or Sangiovese—or more affordable yet distinctive choices like Chinon—would add even more enjoyment to choosing a pairing.With this course, I think I would have chosen a Cabernet Franc from Chinon.The view from the room was wonderful, and thanks to the terrace design that allows you to open up the doors fully,the sea breeze drifting into the room was delightful, and time passed slowly and peacefully.From the outdoor terrace on the pool floor, I could see the waxing moon along with Jupiter and Venus peeking through gaps in the clouds.Everything was extremely comfortable, and there was a sense of time unique to this Hotel.Thank you very much for taking care of me during my stay.
