Scheduled to open in early summer 2026, Blue Bottle Coffee will be launching a new café near Kamakura Station.
Although close to the lively streets of Kamakura, the café will offer a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

As a Blue Bottle Coffee barista, you’ll provide warm hospitality, focus on developing your coffee skills and knowledge, and help create better experiences for both the team and our guests.
