Kamakura was the de facto capital of Japan from 1185 to 1333 as the seat of the Kamakura shogunate, and became the nation's most populous settlement during the Kamakura period.

Kamakura is a popular domestic tourist destination in Japan as a coastal city with a high number of seasonal festivals, as well as ancient Buddhist and Shinto shrines and temples.

(Auto-translated) GARDEN HOUSE RESTAURANT is a pleasant restaurant consisting of a 60-year-old atelier and a garden terrace where you can fully enjoy the lush greenery of the garden. The concept is "Season-inspired" and "Fine-crafts". Seasonal and handmade are the themes. The cuisine is centered around dishes boldly using handmade loin ham, which can only be found here, in collaboration with "Kamakura Ham Tomioka Shokai," a local ham manufacturer with a 110-year history in Kamakura, as well as PIZZA, PANCAKE, GREEN, ICE CREAM, and other dishes using seasonal ingredients from Shonan. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA style. We also collaborated with "Kamakura Beer," a craft beer brewery also located in Kamakura. GARDEN HOUSE's original seasonal craft beer is kegged first thing in the morning and sent directly to you. You can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer that you can only drink here.
