Description
This house for sale in Kamakura sits on a 905 m² freehold plot in Sasame-cho, a 15-minute walk from JR Kamakura Station.
Built in October 2017, the two-storey home has 116 m² of living space, three bedrooms and a private garden. Land of this size is unusual so close to a Japanese station, and it gives the house a lot of breathing room. The condition is good and the house is vacant, with handover possible from early November 2026.
The House: Doma Entrance, Open Living Floor, Three Bedrooms
You come in through a doma, the traditional earthen-floor entrance space. Here it opens straight onto an outdoor terrace. In practice it is the room where muddy hiking boots, bicycles and visitors all land before they reach the rest of the house, and it softens the step between garden and interior.
The three Western-style bedrooms are on the first floor and measure 5.8, 5.7 and 5.3 tatami mats. Two of them have their own walk-in closets. There is also a separate closet and parking for bicycles and a motorcycle.
The main living space is upstairs. The open living, dining and kitchen area is over 27 tatami mats and opens onto a balcony facing the surrounding greenery. The system kitchen has a pantry next to it, which makes cooking for a crowd easier. Wood flooring runs through the house.
There is one bathroom, laid out the Japanese way. The bath, toilet, shower and wash basin are in separate spaces, and the toilet has a bidet function. A bathroom dryer helps with laundry in the humid summer months.
The 905 m² Garden Plot
The land is freehold, which is not always the case with Japanese property. The garden gives you room for planting, a vegetable bed or long lunches outdoors. A private drive has space for two cars.
The building coverage ratio is 40% and the floor area ratio is 80%. On a plot this size, that leaves scope to extend or add a separate structure in the future. Any plan would need checking with the local authority first. Pets are negotiable on consultation.
The house follows the post-1981 seismic code. That matters in Japan, and it is a point worth raising with your surveyor.
Living in Kamakura: Station, Schools and Daily Errands
The walk to JR Kamakura Station takes about 15 minutes. From there, trains run towards Tokyo in roughly an hour, so you can commute occasionally or go up for a weekend. Kamakura City Hall and a Kinokuniya supermarket are both within walking distance, which means groceries and paperwork don't need a car.
Families will notice the schools. Onari Elementary School is about 900 m away, a 12-minute walk, and Onari Junior High School is 630 m, about 8 minutes on foot.
Kamakura is a city of temples and shrines, and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is close to the station. The Great Buddha at Kotoku-in is a short ride away. Hiking trails run through the wooded hills around town, and the beaches at Yuigahama and Zaimokuza are on the coast. Between them, cafes, restaurants and small shops fill the old streets.
A Second Home in Japan, Close to Tokyo
For overseas buyers, a holiday home in Kanagawa has a clear advantage here: the house is easy to reach and simple to look after. A walkable station, a fully built modern home and a garden you can leave simple make it practical as a base you use a few months a year, or as a relocation home. Foreign nationals can generally buy property in Japan, but you should take advice on the process, financing and taxes before committing.
The seasons shape the year. Spring brings cherry blossom, early summer is humid and rainy, and autumn is the time for walking in the hills. Winters are mild by Japanese standards.
