How far above an ordinary night
In Kamakura, 9 of the 84 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +65%, on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 6 | 7% |
| +15% to +29% | 3 | 4% |
| 0% to +14% | 33 | 39% |
| Below 0% | 42 | 50% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

| 4 December 2026 | 5 December 2026 | $171 | $231 | $402 |
A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.
Stretches of high prices
In Kamakura, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 28 December 2026 to 2 January 2027 (6 nights), peaking at $299 on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 December 2026 | 2 January 2027 | 6 | $299 | +65% |
A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Kamakura, published events and holidays on measured nights: 3; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 1 January 2027 (New Year's Day): +23%, a median of $270.

| Monday 23 November 2026 | Labor Thanksgiving Day | $152 | +4% | 50 of 84 |
| Monday 11 January 2027 | Coming of Age Day | $158 | -6% | 39 of 84 |
An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
