 Description

Character Rental House in Shingu

Kamikura Hideaway is an older, refurbished, character rental house is near the base of the sacred Kamikura-jinja shrine where it is believed that the Kumano deities first descended.  Tucked away on the edge of the city in a quiet location—“Hideaway” is the perfect name.  It has been renovated, but carefully trying to preserve atmosphere of the time frame that it was built, ~50 years ago.  The two-story wooden house has a sitting area, Japanese style bedroom, and simple kitchen.  No meals are served but restaurants are within walking distance.  

Private rental.  Only one booking per day.

One-of-a-kind hideaway

The owners have a whole backstory to this rental house, and that was interesting, but more interesting was the sort of organic and earth-friendly lifestyle they let us live for a night at this house. Hosts were very, very kind, and they actually gave us some home-cooked dishes to make our New Years Day special (otherwise we would've been eating convenience store food). The bedding and amenities were nice and comfortable. It was 1 minute to the Kamikura Shrine, which is a must-see.

The bedding and amenities were nice and comfortable. I got to sleep in a Harry Potter type under-the-stairs nook (by choice, I moved the bedding there) which totally made my day.

Beautiful renovated grandmother’s home & wonderful host

Modern interior & very comfortable - amazing host Titsuji who gave us great advice about getting around in Shinghu. He took us to the train station & he & his partner helped us out when we needed it. Fantastic couple.

Unique and magic experience.

Kamikura Hideaway was a nice discovery experience and a quiet stay. The house is cute and full of details, books to read, and a nice welcome from Mr. Testuji. I enjoyed having a coffee in the morning on the terrace, looking for the sunrise in this peculiar and picturesque neighborhood. The location is great. It was a wonderful stay.
