Hachi no Ki Shinkan

Seasonal kaiseki of Kamakura vegetables, tofu and wheat gluten in a garden dining room

A serene garden-side kaiseki house in temple-filled Kita-Kamakura, descended from a rice-ball shop founded in 1964 in front of Kencho-ji, a few minutes' walk from the station. Its everyday menu is seasonal kaiseki built on Kamakura vegetables, tofu and wheat gluten, but it will prepare a fish-free Buddhist shojin (vegetarian) course for vegetarian and Muslim guests when booked in advance — so reserve and state your needs rather than assuming the standard course is meat-free. Closed Thursdays.
