Kamakura Park Hotel — Hotel in Kamakura

We loved staying at this hotel. It's on the water, has views of the bay and the windows open - fresh air! ||||This was our first time staying in Kamakura - we have visited before but never stayed overnight - and whilst there's not a lot of choice in terms of hotel accommodation, we were certainly happy with our decision. ||||We wanted to take time to explore this wonderful town, and ride the Enoden train as much as we could.
