The hotel's location isn't far from Omiya Station, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The triple room had two single beds plus a long sofa, which was about 0.8 meters wide. The room itself was pretty good, and the hotel breakfast was decent. However, the hotel's public bath (onsen) is also open to day visitors, so it can get quite crowded. I had to wait to use a hairdryer, and there were very few toiletries provided. Also, the slippers weren't disposable, and the soles of the slippers in my room were already very dirty, which was a big downside.
We were staying with a family of three. They don't have triple rooms, so the room is split into two. Even with two rooms, the price is still reasonable.
The rooms are mostly flat and well-maintained.
Close to Honjo-Waseda Station, free parking, a large public bath (with a Dyson hair dryer), laundry facilities, a microwave, free tea (coffee and apple cider vinegar drinks are also available until 10:00 PM), amenities, and samue-style pajamas are available for personal selection at the front desk (you can choose between memory foam and marshmallow pillows, subject to restrictions), and more. There's a large supermarket and laundry next door, as well as a delicious bakery, family restaurant, and convenience store nearby, making it incredibly convenient.
The front desk staff are all very kind and cheerful.
My only complaint is that the walls are thin, so you can often hear noises from the neighboring rooms (earplugs are provided, which is unusual). The lockers in the changing room by the public bath don't have locks. I haven't booked a room with breakfast yet, so I'd like to try that next time.
Every time I visit Japan, no matter where I go first, my last stop is always Tokyo. And when I'm in Tokyo, Urawa Pines Hotel is my absolute top choice. While it's located at Urawa Station in Saitama Prefecture, it's incredibly close to Tokyo, and the transportation is unbelievably convenient. Let me elaborate:
* **To Ueno or Tokyo:** No transfers needed, and you can take a rapid train.
* **To Ikebukuro or Shinjuku:** Again, no transfers, and a rapid train gets you there quickly.
* **To Karuizawa:** Just hop on the Shinkansen at Omiya Station.
* **To Yokohama:** Direct train, no transfers. You can even get directly to Odawara and Atami.
Besides the convenient transportation, the shopping is also a big draw, with Isetan and PARCO right at the station exit. The small street leading to the hotel is a bustling food street, full of delicious options.
But the best part, ultimately, is the hotel itself. The rooms are spacious, bright, comfortable, and cozy. Even the smaller rooms are 24 square meters, and the larger ones are 32 square meters – which is almost unbelievable in Japan, where space is at such a premium. What's even more surprising is the price.
For anyone doing a self-guided tour of Japan, Urawa Pines Hotel should be your first choice. Highly, highly recommend it!!!
The hotel is a five-minute walk from Omiya Station, which is a major plus as it's very close to the subway. There are also frequent trains to the city center, and plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby, including a beautiful large park! The service was truly outstanding. I asked the front desk for local food recommendations, and they quickly printed out a food map for me. There were quite a few tour groups staying there, but my room was spacious and comfortable, and being on a high floor offered beautiful views. If you need cleaning, you just need to let the front desk know in advance. On the downside, it's quite a distance from central Tokyo, requiring multiple transfers, so you need to pay attention to your directions. Also, there's a cemetery nearby, and you can see it from the room if you open the window. Something to consider if that bothers you.
The hotel is quite new and very clean. It's close to the station, making transportation very convenient. A friend on the 9th floor mentioned that the bathroom floor was a bit sloped, and they weren't sure why. It's worth noting that the hotel doesn't have its own parking. Overnight parking at the neighboring mall's underground lot costs over 5000 JPY, so I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're driving.
Close to the station.
There are few shops around the station for those who want a dinner without alcohol.
The room is large and the building is clean.
Amenities other than toothbrushes are paid.
It is a hotel that can spend very comfortable. I would like to use it if I have another chance.
It's just a 10-minute walk from Omiya Station, entirely accessible via a pedestrian bridge. What a pleasant surprise to find there's even a direct connection to Sonic City Hall for concerts! During check-in, I was delighted to meet a Chinese-speaking staff member. The room was immaculately clean, and the view from the window was fantastic! The 12 PM check-out time was incredibly convenient for us late-risers. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay, and we'll definitely be back next year!
The room was clean and comfortable, but just before 10am when I was getting ready to check out, there was a knock from someone who seemed to be a bed maker or cleaner, but before I could respond, they opened the door and unlocked it. I was disappointed that they opened the door before 10am, even though I was satisfied with the room.
I rarely write reviews, but this hotel is quite close to Omiya Station and easy to find. The single room isn't huge, but the bed is a good size, perfect for one person. The hotel breakfast was decent, and the ground floor has a nice ambiance. The only drawback is that the hotel is long and narrow, with over 20 rooms on a single corridor. If you have one of the larger rooms, you'll have quite a walk down the hallway after getting off the elevator.
The rice balls for breakfast were delicious. Thank you for the meal. I stayed here for an event at Tama Arena. It was a bit of a hassle because I had to change trains twice, but it was less than a minute's walk from Iwatsuki Station to the hotel, and there was a convenience store right next door, so I was able to relax at the hotel.
Very Good

KKKtansuoshijieThe location is a little far from Kawagoe, but I love it. It's close to the food court, which is full of food and shopping. The room is also nicely laid out, with a table and sofa for watching TV. The food is delicious, especially the curry rice. There's also a wide variety of drinks. Best of all, the hot springs are there! A day out and soaking in the hot springs makes all the fatigue melt away. I'll definitely be back!
GGuest User4 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.
GGuest UserThis is the third time I've stayed at Toyoko INN. I can only say that the hotel is really amazing. Whether you are traveling alone or with friends and family, I highly recommend this hotel. The location is convenient, the hotel is clean and tidy, and you can get a comfortable rest safely. The front desk staff is also very good and can help at any time with any questions. The hotel has a luggage storage service. Although the check-out time is early, it is really convenient to store the luggage until you go out and come back to pick it up. The hotel also provides breakfast, and the self-service bathroom products at the front desk are also very thoughtful. I highly recommend this hotel.

QQiuqiuqiArrived late at night from Haneda, so I decided to stay overnight in Kawagoe before heading to Karuizawa the next day. The hotel is very new, clean, and well-equipped. Although the room isn't huge, it's perfectly adequate. It's not far from Kawagoe's Little Edo, making it convenient to grab a bite at the shopping street late at night and explore the area the next morning. There are also two convenience stores downstairs, which is very handy!
