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.

XiayudechuntianThe 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!

Guest UserIt is a beautiful hotel located near the train station and a shopping mall, making it convenient to find food and supplies. On the first night, the air conditioner in my room had a musty odor, so I asked to change rooms; the staff provided excellent service and quickly arranged a new one.
However, the carpet in the room had significant stains—it would be great if the hotel could clean them—but it was still tolerable, and since I had
a lot of luggage, I decided not to move rooms again.
On the third night, we returned to our room and found it hadn't been cleaned. We immediately notified the hotel staff; they promptly removed the trash and did their best to assist us. We had previously requested that the room be cleaned daily after 11:00 AM.

I came to Chichibu and wanted to enjoy the hot springs, so I stayed at Wood テ Ermei やま
From the hotel to Chichifu Railway Chichifu Station or Shibu Chichifu Station, there is an hourly welcome bus
The room is orange stalk, very spacious
It is a pity that the open-air bathhouse is not hot spring water, only the large bathhouse is used for hot spring water
Dinner feels a bit boring, Saitama County is not facing the sea, so the seafood is not very delicious, there is even a konjac sashimi in the charge, maybe it can be strengthened on meat! !
I like to chat very much, but I don't know the service of the staff here. I always feel more enthusiastic about other passengers than me. For example, I introduced a certain two guests to the room with a bag... I hope it is my illusion.
I spent a day in Saitama in Musashi province!
I stayed at Hotel Miyama because I wanted to come to Chichibu and enjoy the hot springs.
The room I stayed in was a room called ”Kikyo” and was very wide 々.
However, what was a little regrettable was that the open-air bath was not a hot spring but a normal hot water. The only large communal bath used hot spring water.
I felt that the food was a little unsatisfactory. Perhaps because Saitama Prefecture is a prefecture without sea, the taste of seafood was not good, and the sashimi of konjaku came out and I got the impression that it was a little profitable ... I wanted to make meat dishes more fulfilling! About the staff's Saichibis, I was a little sorry that I usually liked the oysters and the oysters, but I couldn't feel much interaction here. I was also worried that the response of other guests seemed more polite. For example, it seems that two guests had luggage and were planning to go to the room ... I'm sure I want to believe it's my fault!

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.

Guest UserRoom is tiny, but the bathroom is of a nice size. If you have a suitcase, there would be no space to open it up. I was staying only for a night and luckily only had a backpack. The TV volume is loud even at the minimal. Love the controls on the pad next to the bed. Room is clean, with nice view of the city. Service at check-in was very friendly, but early check-in is not allowed. Sufficient amount of amenities provided, including pyjama. There is a small fridge and safe in the room. Breakfast is provided in a restaurant outside of the hotel (but same building) the spread is small but tasty enough. I would stay again for short work trips to this part of town.
Also there is a combini and some restaurants in the same building as the hotel.

Guest Userlocation 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.

Guest UserThe 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.

adelehomeschoolingI stayed with Wakoshi Tobu last year (long stay with friends) and 2 nights stay solo this time. My favorite hotel in Japan as I can rest very well in their very comfy bed and pillows (4 for solo), big bathroom and bathtub, and purifier and sofa in room. Front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming and housekeeping is perfect.
I transited from Shizuoka to Wakoshi Tobu to Seibo hospital (for wounds check yesterday before flying home today) due to a serious fall in Mochimune Shizuoka seaside park. Wakoshi Tobu is the perfect location with an attached mall, for the hospital visit and Haneda airport.
