    Fluffy simple chiffon cakes here are so popular that they often sell out before the store closes. There are limited seasonal menus and those who particularly wish to get a cake before they sell out would do well to make a reservation. They also offer a cooking class on baking chiffon cakes.

    Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Komachi 1-5-2
    This is a well-established Kamakura western-style sweets shop that is located just across the rotary at Kamakura Station’s east exit. The inside of the shop is full of delicately prepared sweets made from carefully selected ingredients. Their “Kamakura Custar,” a standard popular souvenir in Kamakura, came about from the idea of combining the delicious tastes of a cream puff and a shortcake, and they take such care in producing the treats that they will adjust the amount of honey in the sponge cake depending on the season.

    Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Yamanouchi 1435
    A traditional Buddhist vegetarian restaurant located close to the Kencho-ji Temple, one of the “Kamakura Gozan” (Five Mountain Temples of Kamakura). Kenchin-jiru, a soup made by stewing burdock and other vegetables, was originally called “Kencho-jiru” because it was invented at the Kencho-ji Temple. Over the years, the pronunciation became corrupted until it achieved its present name. In addition to Kencho-jiru, diners can enjoy other soups with soba and udon noodles as well as the unique flavors of traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine made only with vegetables.

    ご年配ご夫婦が切り盛りしているお店です。 店内は昭和を感じさせる雰囲気で◎。 評価が低いようですが別にそこまで悪くないと個人的には思います。 けんちんそばはシャキシャキしてて美味しかったです。 ご馳走さまでした!

They are also known to sell out as early as before noon.

    Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Yamanouchi 403
    A café situated inside an old private home located close to Kita-Kamakura Station. Easily identifiable by the somewhat strange stone figures standing in front of the entrance, once past these two sentries visitors are asked to order at the counter and then take a seat to wait for its arrival. The second floor boasts high ceilings which create an open atmosphere. There are also sofas to relax on. The antique furnishings help add to the café’s ambience. The lunch beef stew and fruit-filled popovers are particularly popular.

    2階の席につきましたが、4組のみでゆったりと座れました。少し寒い日だったのですが、コロナの換気のせいか、薪ストーブの前に座っても少し寒かったです。シチューをいただきましたが、パンよりご飯の方が良かったかもしれません。パンはいまいちでした。 古民家で素敵な作りだと思います。 会計は先に済ませてあるので、帰る時は誰も出てきて来ないのでご馳走様も言えませんでした。 お水はセルフサービスで、最低限のサービ...

With selections like the Uji shiratama cream anmitsu, covered with matcha syrup, and Shiratama fruit cream anmitsu, topped with piles of fruit, you’ll have a tough time choosing.

    鎌倉はどこも混雑していて並ぶのが嫌なので平日月曜日に行ってみたが、15寺閉店とドア前に看板がかかっていて驚いた。 早くても17時くらいだと思うし、ネット情報には18時としか出ていない。 騙された気分。駅から離れているし、そこまで甘味目的でもないし2度と行かない。

    Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Yuigahama 3-2-13
    This unusual Japanese café and sweet shop requires visitors to cross the tracks of the Enoshima Electric Railway at Wadazuka Station, despite the lack of a proper railway crossing point. The café’s garden blooms with seasonal flowers such as Japanese apricot, chrysanthemum, and camellias, which, together with the Enoshima Electric Railway running just beyond, creates a stunning bit of scenery. The shop’s mamekan (a sweet dish of peas with kanten jelly) is particularly popular and lovingly prepared with red peas from Hokkaido slowly stewed over three days without breaking the skin. The shop also offers seasonal items such as the summer-only Shiratama azuki (sweet adzuki beans with mochi) and the winter-only inaka shiruko (old fashioned sweet adzuki bean soup) and ankoro mochi (mochi wrapped in sweet adzuki bean paste).

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
