Ishikage Daiichi Hotel Kamukura

This hotel offers a wonderful view. The staff were very friendly,and the food was delicious.Feeding the black kites was great fun—the number of birds coming for food and their speed were truly impressive.

I stayed here after visiting Ise Shrine.A typhoon was approaching and it was raining, but it was disappointing that, due to the building’s layout, I couldn’t pull my car up right next to the entrance.Because of the typhoon, there were strong winds and heavy rain all night, and the window design made the whistling wind and rain noise noticeable.The Room felt a bit dated, but the bath was very clean and comfortable,and the staff were friendly and kind, which made up for the tough beef and dried-out yellowtail at dinner.If it hadn’t been priced for Silver Week, it would have been a perfect 100 out of 100.
