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!

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.

Guest UserHaving 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.

OpelGreat hotel with friendly staff, a convenient location and clean, comfortable rooms. Everything was excellent during my stay. The only small issue was that the bed was a bit too firm for my liking, but that's a matter of personal preference. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay here again.

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.

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!

Fantastic hotel! I had a wonderful ten-day stay. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. It's super convenient, right by the station, and you can find dining and shopping without even leaving the building. They offer unlimited coffee every day, and the toiletries are excellent – I meant to buy a set from the hotel shop when I left, but I was too rushed catching my train and completely forgot. I hope to stay here again next time to make up for it!
