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 The property itself is outdated with lots of random knick knacks.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.

Stay with a real samurai!

Bushi was amazing!! he was extremely welcoming, very friendly and cooked some amazing traditional breakfast each morning. As well, the atmosphere of the guest house was extremely relaxed and easy-going. He was conveniently located to shops, restaurants, tourist, attractions, and getting around is quite easy. If we ever come to Kamakura again staying at the guest house will be an obvious place to stay.

Amazing and unique experience

I love staying in more traditional lodging when visiting Japan, and Irodori was what I was looking for. The host, Bushi, is a kind genuine person with a passion for his town and community and the sincerity and generosity of his character made my time in Kamakura much better, so thank you Bushi. The upstairs room was small and cozy, the space in the guesthouse can be narrow and cluttered, so if you are used to large hotels this is not it. I met very fun/kind travelers there, especially while enjoying breakfast with them in the morning. If you can, I absolutely recommend you staying here.
