Ξενοδοχεία με breakfast σε Saitama Prefecture, Japan

4 Senior backpackers in Japan ”stumbled” onto this gem of a Japanese inn next to the Arakawa River. Less than 10 minute walk from the Kami-Nagatoro station and 10 minute walk to Nagatoro Station. We chose location due to proximity to river and start of river boat downstream river ride-sites. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality shown throughout our two-day stay. We were late in coming out of the mountains of Gunma prefecture (2 hour plus train ride away) and called the inn to notify and were subsequently told that this was no problem for check-in and supper. Fortunately we made up time lost and got to the inn earlier that expected and enjoyed the serene tree-lined river and men's and women's communal furo (shower/bath also in rooms) with outdoor views before dining. Then...we were overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of the dinner! A real treat to get a 7+ course Japanese meal featuring the specialty vegetables and protein of the region! Upon departure we chose to walk with packs back to Kami-Nagatoro Station, along the river, but the proprietor had the Inn van ready and waiting to take us to the train station. The included breakfast's were also multi-course Japanese style, with regional specialties. Granted, the hotel is somewhat time-worn, probably seeing its zenith in the 80's and 90's but all the facilities were cleaning, usable and safe. All staff went made a great effort to ensure that we were enjoying the locale and the Inn. This location, in our opinion is much more serene and ”touristy” than the main area surrounding Nagatoro station but is only 10 minutes walking from that action. If opportunity arises, we will return. The Saitama Museum of Natural is just across the street but this large and modern facility was not open on our late arrival and on Monday. We left on Tuesday morning, but wanted to visit this place also.

The room was spacious overall with excellent natural light, making for a very comfortable stay. The bedding was soft and clean, ensuring a restful sleep. The staff were friendly and responsive. Breakfast offered a good variety and tasted delicious. The only minor drawback was that the air conditioning was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely recommended!

I am very happy. I am very happy on this trip. I hope everyone can go out when they are free. You are also welcome to stay in this hotel. The weather is very good. My friends and I are very happy😁😁

The hotel room was spacious. While the room felt a bit dated, it was spotlessly clean. The location was very convenient with plenty of amenities nearby, and the train station was just a 6-minute walk away. I would definitely stay here again.

I booked a twin room with breakfast for two nights. The room size was decent for Saitama. The location is great, very close to JR Omiya station, making it super convenient for getting around. The top floor has a large public bath, which was perfect for relaxing after a tiring day of sightseeing. The hotel breakfast was also good, with both Japanese and Western options. The scrambled eggs were especially delicious, and there was a wide variety of dishes. Definitely recommended! The only downside is that there are too few washing machines – only three – so you pretty much have to fight for one if you want to do laundry.

Highly recommend! We had 2 rooms, one with a private bath, the other was the special room on the 6th floor. The special room appeared to have the original materials and fixtures, which we appreciate. Everything was maintained very well. If I could suggest one thing, it would be having the carpet replaced in the room, as well as in the public spaces. Breakfast had a good variety of western and Japanese foods. The fixed course dinner was exceptional, from the presentation to the taste. One memorable experience for us was the table tennis. Our whole family had such a good time! Last but not least, the service was top-notch. From the moment we stepped in the hotel, Kitabori was there to welcome us and ensured that we had everything we needed. His professionalism and attention to details truly enhanced our stay! We would definitely stay there again.

It's a sleeping offer at the local onsen. It's clean with proper ventilation inside the pot. I found it comfortable. The onsen looks old, with a bit weird design. It's tattoo friendly meaning you can enjoy seeing japanese men full body tattooed. Is it yakuza style? Please consider before you book. The hotel is in the same building with ******** game spot, which add some specific vibes to the place. There is NO lockers to keep your bags. They asked me to keep my relatively big bag inside the sleeping pod, which I found a bit insane. I was sleeping hugging it. There is neither fridge no even microwave. Only café to eat in. They charge you extra money even for several minutes late after check out. No mercy. If you cope with all this, you'll definetly enjoy your stay.

The room is big enough, service is quite fast, not enough reception when few more guests to attend with. The room is clean and layout was good. Location is great, walk over from sky bridge within 8min. Downstair has lots of restaurants and nearby too, has two cafe.

location was good, only 5 mins walk from Seibu Chichibu station. My room got a very nice hill view, quiet and tranquil. The room was clean, very spacious in Japanese standard. Staff were very polite and helpful. There was one gentleman staff helped me to find packing material to wrap my walking stick that I bought from the temple during my 34 Kennon pilgrimage; so that I could bring it back home with me. Many thanks! By the way, the breakfast was very good with big array of food.

The Good: - The hotel is located right next to the train station. - There is a nearby mall with many food options. - The room size is decent and perfectly functional. I found the bed itself to be quite comfortable. - The soundproofing is reasonable. You get occasional, mild train noises during quieter periods, but it wasn't a major disruption. The Not-So-Good: - The pillow really needs addressing. One pillow was hard, while the other was completely limp and offered almost zero support (it felt practically non-existent). - The in-room refrigerator was completely useless. It didn't get cold at all, so don't expect to keep any drinks or snacks chilled.
