The center of culture of New Kamakura

Now "Kamakura "  is the sightseeing city both Japanese and foreign people love and 23 million people visit each year.
This town which built one generation and is filled with hisitorical atomosphere has many shirines and temples which remains the mood of that days and Shonan sea where many people enjoy gathering  in summer.
Also, the sharehouse we introduce this time is situated in the middle of the tourist resort in Kamakura.
The house is 5 minute walk from "Hase "station on Enoden line famous for Hasedera which is filled with bigleaf hydrangea in rainy season.

You can go to the beach in 5 to 6 minutes on foot. There is Amanawashinmeimiya, the oldest shrine in Kamakura, next to it.
The God enshrined in the shrine is Amaterasuomikami. At the bottom of the stone stairs, there is a "well where Tokimune Hojo was bathed when he was born". At high place where building of the shrine is located, you can have a bird's eye view of Yuigahama and Hase.
Across the shrine is a house where Yasunari Kawabata who received Nobel Prize had lived.
This Amanawashinmeimiya is a shrine that appears in part of his novel "Yamanooto".
You can feel history and culture of Kamakura deeply here.

The building used as a sharehouse this time is an old and large house that had been build for more than 80 years ago. It was revived as a new house by taking over the history after the large renovation. The residential part only has been completed so far. However, it will open as the cafe space. It provides a place where the tenants feel relaxed. It is the sharehouse that is focused on in this autumn we expect greatly as a place where the new Kamakura culture is issued. Let's see in the house now!

The share house introduced here is managed by Safari B Company. Mr. Yokoyama, the representative, is also famous for being ‘a master who travels’, having devoted himself for traveling and motorbikes since he was 19 and travelled around the world for nearly 5 years. He still continues traveling in and outside Japan while managing the real estate business. His travel experiences makes what he is and has a significant influence on his business; his motto is to "create apartments and condominiums where people gather and talk to each other regardless of race".

The sharehouse we introduced this time is exactly where that kind of feeling is condensed.
I was wondering if it might change to the place where new culture is born while taking over the history and climate of Kamakura.

I imagine that many people dream leading life by working and enjoying leisure here.
Why don't you consider it to be not a dream and ideal but a place where you set your main life style here?
You can set it by expecting that it is a place where many people voluntarily come as a place where information of new Kamakura culture is issued.
