If you’re visiting Kamakura, Japan, staying close to the station makes everything easier. Hotel Metropolitan Kamakura is just a short walk from Kamakura Station, which means you can explore temples, shops, and beaches without worrying about transportation. From the moment we arrived, the hotel felt welcoming, cozy, and thoughtful in every detail.
A Cozy Room with Everything You Need
We stayed in the Garden Double Room with a courtyard view. It’s small but comfortable and has everything travelers need. One nice touch was the welcome note on the TV, which made us feel at home right away.
The room has a mini fridge, luggage rack, and safe, as well as high-quality toiletries. Extra treats like eye and leg patches were a nice surprise after a day of walking around Kamakura. The best part of the room is the courtyard view, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee in a quiet, peaceful setting.
Comfortable Bathroom
The bathroom is compact but has everything you need. Towels, toiletries, and a clean shower make it easy to refresh after sightseeing. The small extras, like skincare patches, make it feel a little luxurious even in a simple space.
Friendly Lobby and Convenient Reception
The lobby and reception area are bright and welcoming. One of our favorite features was the self-serve coffee station—great for a quick cup before heading out. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions or give recommendations for sightseeing and dining.
Outside the lobby, there’s a beautiful garden. It’s a calm spot to relax, read, or just enjoy the view. The open, airy design of the lobby makes the hotel feel easy to move around in, without ever feeling crowded.
Cafe & Meal MUJI and MUJI Store
A unique feature of this hotel is the connection with MUJI, a brand known for simple, quality products. The hotel has both a Cafe & Meal MUJI and a MUJI store.
The café serves fresh, simple meals that are light but satisfying—a great choice for breakfast or lunch. The store carries a selection of MUJI products, from home goods to travel essentials. It’s a nice place to pick up souvenirs or something you might have forgotten to pack.
Perfect Location
The biggest advantage of Hotel Metropolitan Kamakura is its location. Being steps from Kamakura Station means you can easily visit famous temples, shrines, beaches, and shopping streets. After a day of sightseeing, it’s wonderful to return to a comfortable room with a quiet garden view.
Why You’ll Love It
What makes this hotel special are the small details. The welcome note, courtyard view, and extra toiletries show that the hotel cares about your comfort. The self-serve coffee, MUJI café, and store add convenience and a little fun. And the location puts you close to everything Kamakura has to offer.
