Nestled in the heart of Kamakura, Kakiya Ryokan is a haven of authenticity where the timeless charm of traditional Japan unfolds delicately. This ryokan in Kamakura, just steps from Enoshima Beach, invites relaxation with its public baths accessible day and night and its spaces imbued with serenity. Between a warm welcome and wellness services, a stay here becomes a soothing escape from time.

Whether they offer a private bathroom or a shared space, they combine comfort and tradition, allowing guests to find themselves in perfect harmony with the setting.
Extending the experience, the on-site restaurant celebrates local culinary expertise. The Shirasu fish specialty reveals the authentic flavors of the region in an atmosphere of refinement. And if seafood flavors do not appeal, suitable options are available upon simple request. Nearby, the lively Kamakura and its numerous restaurants offer a variety of culinary discoveries.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 The ryokan offers a generally traditional atmosphere with the use of tatamis and visible Japanese decoration. However, a modernized style is present in some areas. The meals seem decent but lack refinement, and the baths are simple, lacking striking or natural touches.
