Shonan OVA
Garden, BBQ and karaoke with free parking at Shonan Kokusaimura
About this stay
Free on-site private parking sets the terms here, because Shonan Kokusaimura sits on the western slopes rather than in the Yokosuka port district, about forty-eight kilometres from Tokyo Haneda Airport, thirteen from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura and thirty from Yokohama Marine Tower. Rooms are comfortable and air-conditioned, with private bathrooms carrying a bath, a shower, a hairdryer, free toiletries and slippers, plus a refrigerator and a flat-screen television. There is no communal bath. The outdoor side is the selling point: a garden and a terrace with BBQ facilities, which reads as a group weekend rather than a business overnight, and karaoke indoors for the hours after. Meeting and banquet facilities, luggage storage, a drinks vending machine, fax and photocopying, heating and internet services fill out a property that clearly hosts gatherings as often as it hosts couples.

Our take
This makes sense with a car and a group, where the garden, the BBQ facilities and the karaoke room are the plan for the evening rather than a fallback. Couples rate the location at eight point two, which fits a stay built around the site itself. It is a poor choice for a rail-only traveller aiming at Mikasa Park or Dobuita Street, since the harbour district is a drive away and nothing here is within a station walk.
- Bring a car, because the free on-site private parking is the practical advantage and the port is a drive away.
- Book the BBQ facilities and the terrace ahead if you are travelling as a group rather than a pair.
- Drive down to the coast for the afternoon, then keep the evening on site with the karaoke room.

Why guests love itI would pick Shonan OVA for a family that travels by car and wants the evening plan on site: a garden and terrace, BBQ facilities and a karaoke room keep everyone together without a drive into town. Rooms are air-conditioned with a bath, a refrigerator and a flat-screen TV, and parking is free on site. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura is about thirteen kilometres away for a day out. It holds a 7.6 rating from 334 reviews.
