Breakfast was lovely and the host was very kind.

Bushi was a fantastic host, such a unique experience. Amazing breakfast and a great chat

We had a phenomenal experience getting to know a modern samurai! Our host is very knowledgeable about history and his kindness and life purpose is worth stopping by there for a few days snd learn from him. You get personalized treatment and the breakfast was prepared with love and kindness! We will be back for sure!! Warmed heartfelt thanks Bushi!!

The rooms, sheets, and towels were clean. The staff and host were AMAZING AND LIVELY! The kitchen was clean and they even made breakfast and dinner for me! I stayed during a cooler season so just having the window open was perfect. I really appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the host, Bushi. To me it was an amazing experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you so much!

他の宿泊者の方達と一緒に朝食でした。 武士さんを中心に皆さんといろんなお話に花が咲きましたー！良い時間となりました！

Bushi, the host is the coolest guy ever, he is a great friend and so warm and welcoming!

ペットの犬もおりました。その他にも、荷物が多かったのを手伝って頂いたり、丁寧な説明、お気遣いをいただきました。

the place was clean the breakfast was ample the host was friendly there are three rooms - 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs - and if you are of a certain age and need an afternoon nap you should not be downstairs. On both days there were people in the living room and even the little noise they made was disturbing because of paper-thin walls. So if you need naps and privacy ask for upstairs.

If you are looking for a regular hotel experience, this is not the right choice for you. But if you would like to experience something fun, interesting and authentic, you have found the right place. The location of this b&b is great; walking distance from the train station, to the beach and the big Buddha. Our host is very nice, fun and open-minded with excellent English. The breakfast is great and it was nice to eat together with the other guests around the one table in the kitchen. Our room was small for four people, but we managed to fit the four matresses. The shared bathroom is small and cramped, but worked very well. We will come back!

Amazing stay! Very clean with nice location. Super friendly host who joined us for a wonderful breakfast that far exceeded our expectations. Would certainly stay here again

The staff were very nice. Bushi-san was busy on my day of arrival (they have a lot of activities in Kamakura), but they left me a welcome packet with all the information. I met Bushi-san the morning after for breakfast. I also got to meet Yoko-san. She was very kind. The guesthouse is small, and the building is old and charming. I slept on a futon in a room equipped with tatamimats and traditional screen doors. It was amazing to sleep in a traditional room. The futon is perhaps on the thinner side, but they had more than one so you could perhaps stack them. The guesthouse is kept clean (and has a lot of interesting stuff to look at!), but you can see that is has some wear and tear. If you're looking for a super shiny modern place to stay, this is not for you. It's close to the Kamakura station and to the sea. Wadenya station is even closer than Kamakura station, and from there you can take a direct train to Enoshima.

The owner (bushi) of the guesthouse was such an amazing and kind person. He gave a tour around Kamakura and made delicious breakfast for me and my husband. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying at a guest house but it became a precious memory.

This is one of the best experiences I've ever had staying somewher, Our host Bushi was extremely friendly, and made our visit one to remember, we learnt alot about the area and about Kamukuras origin, I highly recommend adding the breakfast option to your stay as it was delicious, I'd give 6 stars if I could

Belle expérience de vie avec des hôtes très accueillants

Séjour très court (1 nuit) mais très agréable. Bushi est un hôte super sympa, accueillant et prévenant. Nous avons eu quelques discussions passionnantes. L’ambiance à la guest house est très conviviale, je recommande sans hésitation !

Bushi-san was the best host. He makes the whole experience and even speaks very good English. We experienced a tsunami warning and had to cancel our flight back home. Bushi allowed us to stay another night. He was very good with the kids. He made lots of jokes, let kids try out the samurai weapons and armor, and even made shaved ice with our kids. Bushi-san makes this B&B a lively and exciting experience. The property itself is outdated with lots of random knick knacks. The futons were a little too flat and uncomfortable —feels like camping. There is a shared bathroom with all the guests. However, the people we encountered were all lovely and we clicked with them. My children had fun interacting with another family with children. I wouldn’t trade my experience with a hotel experience, which tend to be cold and impersonal. I highly recommend Bushi-san’s property for a one-of-a-kind Japan experience.

Guesthouse Irodori was very interesting, and I'm happy me and my 88 year old, Japanese-born mother stayed here. At first thought, one would think it very strange that an Japanese/American Grandma and her 64 y.o. American daughter would stay at a "Minshuku" type of house. But, we had made last minute plans to travel to Tokyo for 1 month to visit a family member having surgery. We stayed two nights in Kamakura to look at real estate and visit a friend in the area. This was great for us and allowed us to do what we needed with a local place to sleep at night. Our Samurai host, Bushi-san, and his small staff are kind and wonderfully warm people. We loved meeting the much-younger travelers from the US and China and Spain and enjoyed sharing dinner with them for those two nights. Out of our month-long trip to Japan, we accomplished our mission during our 2 days in Kamakura and then moved on to stay with relatives around Tokyo and Odawara. My only small/minor issue was the lighting in our room was not very bright, and our room was right next to the dining area where guests gathered to talk and enjoy themselves for a small party on our first night. That said, we were so tired that the noise ultimately didn't matter. I recommend Guesthouse Irodori for anyone who is open to meeting other travelers from different parts of the world. The location is within walking distance of the train station, and one can also walk about 15-20 minutes through the residential area to see the beach.

お世話になりました、ありがとうございます。

I never stayed at this place. The host sent me an email asking me to cancel my booking as he booked to someone else.

朝食の時間が予約時に知らされておらず 朝早く出発したかったので、朝食付きのプランだったが朝食が遅く食べれなかった。
