aiaoi is a small hotel with 6 rooms.
We will recommend the room that best suits you
among the single, twin, double, and loft rooms,
which all feature an original design.

When we first moved to Kamakura,
we lived in the house built 60 years ago.
There, we have learned the joy to use things
for a longer time and the importance of living with nature.
We wanted to share that vision,
and this is why we mostly built, furnished,
and equipped our rooms with vintage materials and items.

Aged things are sometimes not straight enough or not durable enough.
I hope you understand.

*umi, kumo, hoshi tsuki yo, nami and asa are the same size. kokageya is a bit smaller.
