2-Star Hotels in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

Although it is countryside, it is very close to the train station. About 2 minutes of walking. Front desk staff members were helpful to accommodate the room request. The bathroom in the room was quite clean. However, the shampoo and body soap in the room was low quality. But luckily you can go to the entrance area to pick up another variety of soap and shampoo. I appreciated that they had DHC skin care set in case you didn't bring it with you. There is a convenience store across from the hotel. So I was thankful for that. Otherwise, there is a bakery and an izakaya and that is it. 🙂

The location is very good, right next to the west exit of Katsuta Station. The hygiene and breakfast are good, but the exterior wall was under maintenance when I stayed there, and the windows were sealed with plastic and could not be opened.

After visiting Tohoku Aomori, I decided to check in the night before so that I could go to the National Seaside Park early the next morning to see the white butterflies. Please note that you have to climb more than 20 stairs to get to the front desk. I was dragging a big bag alone. Going up the stairs is really killing me! There is an elevator in Shadian that goes directly to the room, but the room is also very old. A stay of just over 200 yuan a night is enough. The free breakfast on the second day surprised me. It was in buffet format, very rich and delicious, and the quality was many, many times better than Toyoko Inn! If you don’t care about the stairs and the old room, it’s really worth it!

It was a lovely family stay in this property.The room was Japanese style which was very wide . There was a public bath onsen and private family onsen with the beautiful sea view,which we used comfortably as it was not busy because of the week day I guess. The train station is also a few minutes from the hotel . Overall we enjoyed it..

Good breakfast. Nice public bath. Was quiet when I was there. Early june. Sadly no dinner arranged. And didn't want to drive the narrow road out to town. Good thing they sold many types of cup noodles. So we a simple cup noodle dinner with their melon cider drink. Highly recommend to try their melon cider.. Staff very helpful.

We loved our overnight stay here. We slept with windows slightly open and it was wonderful to hear the ocean waves from our bedroom. We stayed at many different ryokans, but the food here was the best. Downside is that there isn't a good onsen here. Very small and no view. We just used the bath in our own room.

미토역 북쪽광장 바로앞에 산노마루와 나란히 잇어 위치와 가성비 최고입니다 단 카운터는 일본어밖에 안되므로 불편할 수 있습니다 출장이 아닌 여행을 온거라면 좀 더 기분좋은 숙박을 위해 바로 옆에 있는 산노마루를 택할듯 합니다

I was grateful that they held my luggage for me even after check-out. They also gave me directions to the museum, which allowed me to enjoy the scenery from a unique perspective that only walking can offer.

The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. Next time I'd like to stay with breakfast included.

It's very old, the room smells of cigarette smoke, and turning on the air conditioner to ventilate it is useless. Use the original key to open the door. Those who are a little older and have watched Japanese dramas may have an impression 😂
