What is worth knowing about this place
before you live in it.
The property on the map
We found no Convenience store within the radius we searched. Worth checking on the ground.
Walking times are estimated at 80 m per minute from straight-line distance — the convention in Japanese property listings — so they are not measured routes. Places from Google Maps.
Timetables in Japan are revised, and a rural bus route can mean a handful of departures a day. Open the timetable for current times, and check on the ground that something runs when you would need it.
The short version
A quick summary from public sources. The detail — and the caveats — are in the sections below.
Food shopping
Within walking distance of the property there are small food shops and convenience stores, but full-size supermarkets are roughly 1 to 2 kilometres away, which makes a car the practical way to do a proper weekly shop rather than relying on daily walking trips. Because this part of Kamakura draws sightseeing traffic, local roads can become congested on weekends and during peak tourist seasons, which can add time to even a short car journey for groceries.
Medical care
Detailed information on night-time or weekend medical arrangements for this specific district, and which hospital handles emergency transport, was not found in the material reviewed. More generally, Kamakura's larger hospitals and clinics tend to cluster around the central train-station area rather than this south-western district, so out-of-hours care is likely to involve a car journey rather than a walk.
Getting around
The nearest rail connection is Enoshima Dentetsu (江ノ電, the Enoden line), and the wider district is nominally served by bus routes run by Enoden Bus (江ノ電バス) and Keikyu Bus (京急バス). Specific stop names, route numbers, and first/last service times for this immediate stretch were not available in the material reviewed, so current timetables should be checked directly with the operators; having a car available would reduce dependence on the train line's own schedule.
Schools and childcare
The city-run Inamuragasaki Elementary School is located within Gokurakuji 3-chome, the same district as the property, and is listed among Kamakura City's elementary-school catchment areas, which suggests it serves this locality, though the precise catchment boundary for this exact address has not been separately confirmed. No information on nearby nursery or kindergarten places was found.
Natural hazards
The property sits at roughly 20.9 metres elevation in a part of Kamakura the city itself describes as enclosed by mountains and sea. This south-western area carries widespread dosha saigai keikai kuiki (土砂災害警戒区域, sediment-disaster warning zone) designations, and a nearby subdivision in the same Gokurakuji 1-chome area is confirmed to also carry a takuchi zousei kouji kisei kuiki (宅地造成工事規制区域, land-development regulation zone) designation. The city additionally publishes a tsunami hazard map covering the Hase / Sakanoshita / Inamuragasaki zone that this address falls within, but the exact designation and any expected inundation depth for this specific parcel have not been separately confirmed and would need a parcel-level check.
Elevation and climate
The elevation is measured at this exact point (Geospatial Information Authority of Japan). The climate figures are not from this address — Japan has 157 official weather stations, and these are the 1991–2020 normals from the nearest one. Distance and a difference in elevation can both make the real feel of a place differ from these numbers. Source: Japan Meteorological Agency.
Who lives here
This is the whole municipality of Kamakura, not just the streets around the property.Source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Basic Resident Register population (2026).
The neighbourhood
Arrivals minus departures over one year, counted from changes of residence registration. A positive number means the town grew. We are not saying whether that is good.

This report was generated automatically from public sources. It does not tell you the actual condition of the building, whether water, gas and electricity are connected, or what the neighbourhood is like to live in — none of that can be established from a desk.

A first step
towards living here
Gokurakuji sits where Kamakura's hills fold down to meet the sea, reached by the old Enoden line rather than a main road, and life here will likely mean a car for groceries and out-of-hours care, and a direct check with the city on this exact parcel's hazard and zoning status before anything is settled. What's above is a starting point for that conversation, not a verdict on the address itself.
Anything here that matters to you is worth checking on the ground, or with a local agent who can walk it with you.
