What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Sitting in front of Koshigoe Beach is UMITO Kamakura Koshigoe, an intimate auberge where the sea is always in sight from just two spacious suites.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Koshigoe Station is a six-minute walk away, and Enoshima Island is a short stroll down the coast.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight toward Enoshima Island. Out on the terrace, an open-air bath faces the sea.
The sauna and bath
Curved wooden benches inside the private dry sauna look through glass toward the water and the terrace bath.
Le RESTAURANT
Chef Daiki Ogawa prepares classic French dishes with fish from Misaki port and produce from the Kamakura Vegetable Market.
