TELEGRAPH: Stay at Wakaremichi

Right at the fork of Wakaremichi there is a small station where travelers change trains: TELEGRAPH. A café and bar on the ground floor, rooms to stay in above: this is the inn at Wakaremichi.

Staying at Wakaremichi

Once the day-trippers have gone, Kamakura becomes a different town: valleys gone dark, the Kanazawa Kaido gone quiet. Only those who stay get Wakaremichi at night, and the old temples in the empty morning.

Evenings downstairs

After a day of walking, have a drink at the bar downstairs. For dinner, Yae Sushi and Kadoya are a short walk away. Then decide, here and at your leisure, which path to take tomorrow.

Mornings at Mignon, lunch downstairs

In the morning, head to Mignon, the bakery at Wakaremichi. On weekends it opens early, so pick up a casse-croûte and set off on the Temple Path. The café and bar downstairs opens at 11:00, so come back for lunch: a warm set meal with pork miso soup. Then, in the afternoon, another path.
