I want to go to Kamakura and see the national treasure, the Great Buddha!

Question

I would like to go see the Great Buddha of Kamakura at Kotoku-in Temple, which is designated as a national treasure. After sightseeing in the area, I am also thinking of going to Yuigahama Beach and other places. I plan to spend the whole day sightseeing, so I will be staying at a hotel nearby. Can you recommend any hotels or Ryokan (Japanese inn)?

This hotel is a 5-minute walk from Yuigahama Station. It takes 3 minutes to get to Yuigahama Station from Kamakura by Enoshima Electric Railway, so it is recommended for sightseeing in Kamakura.
