波ハウス鎌倉
Nami House Kamakura is a coliving space in a converted traditional house, a 10-minute walk from Kamakura Station. With 12 rooms spread across two floors, it caters to remote workers and creatives looking for a slower pace within easy reach of Tokyo. The house sits in a quiet residential street between the station and Yuigahama Beach.
The emphasis is on shared living, not coworking. There is no dedicated workspace, but WiFi covers all rooms and common areas. Residents tend to work from their rooms, the living room, or head to nearby cafes. The draw here is the community, the garden, and being five minutes from the ocean.
