Children's cafe B&B Kimie

The B&B had a nice view of the river. It was very relaxing. The breakfast was also very delicious. It was so tasty. I loved all of it. The salmon and mackerel was very flavorful. I enjoyed staying in the B&B because Kimie was very kind and very hospitable. I stayed over during the winter and she gave everyone a hot water bottle so the bed could be warm. The bed was also very comfortable and the bed sheets were very soft. The B&B is also relatively close to everything and there were a couple of bakeries around it.

The host is super hospitable. The house has a nice common space and provides great breakfast. The bed is comfortable. The heater can be used in cold weather. Slightly away from the most crowded areas but still not far fromn some popular spots. Considering to stay again if I visit Kamakura again.

An only minor thing may need to concern if the guest is sensitive with sounds. The building is located by a busy road, so it is slightly noisy with big car passby during afternoon - early evening. But during the sleeping time is ok.

The host is so nice and kind and thoughtful! And she is a nice cooker too! The breakfast was delicious and delicate! The room has a nice view of greenery and river, full of sunshine, cozy and warm. I love it!

1. First up, I cannot give enough praise for the host Kimie. She's so friendly, personable, thoughtful and educated. I felt so looked after during my two-night stay at her place. In particular, in the second night temperature dropped. Before I knew it, she had already placed a hot water bottle in my bed. It kept my bed warm all night. 2. Kimie speaks good English and well-traveled. Her cooking (breakfast) was top notch and it was such a joy to share breakfast time chatting with other fellow travelers. Kimie effortlessly got everyone involved in a nice conversation, like a seasoned broadcast host. I admire her personality and applaud everything she does for her guests. 3. I also like the location where you are truly immersed in the local community.

I must say, it is not something I did not like but people should take note of the following, - It's a guesthouse and there is no lift, it may not be ideal for guest carrying heavy suitcases. - The wall is thin and I could hear the snore from neighbouring guest. It was not really a problem for me at night though. Please be quiet and respectful if you choose to stay there.

The breakfast was fantastic. That alone was worth the rent. Then the great location, the patio by the river, and Kimie, the best host, add up to the best value for the money.

Kimie-san is the most wonderful, warm host I’ve ever met! Her breakfasts are so yummy and filled me up for the whole day! The room was very comfortable and I loved the view of the river! Meeting Kimie-san is so worth the stay!

We loved Kimmie the host, she is so kind and welcoming. Our 11 month could play on the floor and had wonderful food prepared for him. The Japanese breakfast was delicious. The bed was comfortable and everything very clean and inviting. Felt like a home away from home!

It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the center of town or a short bus ride. But it’s in a peaceful area and close to some temples and a very pretty bamboo garden. Also a tasty bakery nearby.

Kimie is a fantastic host, very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is just 20minutes by walk from the Railstation. The view on the river was so nice. Typical japanese breakfast !

The bunk beds were just a little bit too small for us.

Home setting with kitchen and laundry available. We were served a wonderful Japanese style breakfast at the time of our choosing by our hostess, Kimie. Kimie was very personable, warm and friendly. She speaks English well and helped us with our Japanese, as well as getting around town on foot and lots of good info on the temples and sights in Kamakura. Kimie’s house looks out over a wide, shallow creek filled with Koi and other wildlife. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda listening to the murmuring creek and feeding the fish. Kimie also has a great play area on tatami with toys to entertain our toddler while we had breakfast or relaxed.

The bunk beds had very little overhead-couldnt sit up! But our married family members had a nice full size bed. We are morning coffee people, but coffee was an extra charge. It would have been nice to have a pot available to sip coffee during the morning activities.
