Taisenkaku Inn (built 1927 onward)
The Taisenkaku inn has provided lodging services at the same location in Kamakura since the late Meiji Era. The splendid north facade, decorated with four transom windows, railings, and exquisite lattice windows, looks just as it did when first constructed.
For GPS users: According to the author's GPS, the inn is located at 35 18.76000' N, 139 32.08000' E.
