Hotels With breakfast in 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!

The service and facilities are good, the breakfast is diversified, the hygiene level is good, the staff are polite and willing to serve, and the location is convenient. If I have the opportunity to come again, I will patronize it again and recommend it to my friends.

Having stayed at three Dormy Inn hotels – Wakayama, Oita, and Omiya – this one, in Omiya, was the least impressive overall. However, it still surpasses most Japanese hotels in the 600 JPY price range. The main issue is that half the rooms face a wall and a large cemetery. Also, the Sky Onsen can't really be considered a true open-air bath. Perhaps because of the diverse clientele here, the onsen's cleanliness wasn't particularly great. One thing worth mentioning is that they accommodate guests with tattoos; as long as you cover them with two 10x10 cm tattoo stickers, you can use the onsen. This is quite welcoming, as judging people based on their appearance is outdated and impolite. Finally, there are many convenience stores downstairs, and a very clean and well-stocked drugstore (though prices are slightly higher). It's also very close to the station, so the value for money is still excellent. I would choose to stay here again when visiting Omiya.

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!

The location near Tokorozawa Station was very convenient. When I made my reservation, I requested a lower bunk, but the young man at the reception desk told me that the lower bunk was fully booked and I would have to stay in an upper bunk. When I replied, ”I requested that when I made the reservation,” an older staff member immediately changed me to a lower bunk after seeing my age (71) on my booking slip. I stayed on a Saturday, but there were actually plenty of vacant rooms, and several lower bunk rooms were still available. The capsule was much more spacious and comfortable than other places, but I had some drawbacks: I was bothered by noise from the neighboring rooms and the upper bunk, the mattress was thin, which caused some back pain, and the air was very dry, leaving my lips chapped when I woke up in the morning. Relatively speaking, I'd rate it a fourth out of five.

Room 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.

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.

We knew the hotel was near the train station but didn't know how close it was! The building it was in and around it had many food options with a really delicious bakery on the 2nd floor. Not far from the Cocoon City Mall and the Saitama Super Arena, it has easy access to travel within and outside of the Saitama area. We were lucky enough to catch the Art Aquarium Exhibit at the arena which was a delightful treat. The hotel staff were courteous and attentive and the rooms were comfortable with all the necessities for our group. Would definitely recommend and return whenever we want to visit Saitama or Tokyo again!

I 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.
