This is a soba kaiseki restaurant in Mt. Kamakura, an area with a long history developed in a lush natural setting. One can enjoy a simple dish of soba, or a full course.

I am a local, now live in the US. This is a little difficult to get to place for tourists as it is located about 20 min by bus from Kamakura station. Bus fare is about 200 yen and runs about every 20...

Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Yuigahama 3-3-27

Established in 1929, this is a well-established eel restaurant in Kamakura whose closest station is Enoshimsa Dentetsu’s Wadazuka Station. Thanks to the secret sauce that has not changed over several decades, the plump eel is characteristic for its elegant taste with a subtle sweetness. All of their eel dishes are prepared only after the order is received, so cooking takes about one hour to prepare. It is recommended to visit after making a reservation. Children that are not yet of school age are not allowed.

As a frequent Japan visitor, I really Don’t recommend this place. The modern generation of Japanese are open-minded and this restaurant sadly live in the atone age honor when Kawabata Yasunari has...

A Japanese izakaya bar which uses fresh-caught local fish from Sagami Bay and which is also open for lunch.

ランチで訪問。海鮮メインのお店です。漁師さん直営ということで、素材の魚は良かったですが、調理はいまいちかなと思いました。シラスは釜揚げと生はおいしかですがかき揚げはちょっとべったりしていました。煮魚は当日は太刀魚でしたが、太刀魚は塩焼きのほうがいいかなと思いました。素材がいいだけに残念。

Kanagawa Areas

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.
