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.
Arrived 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!
The room rates in downtown Tokyo are very high. Although this hotel is not in the city center, it is not too far away. It is very convenient to take the subway. The room size is much larger than that of the hotel in the city center. It is very clean. Although the room does not have a bathroom, it is not a problem at all. The bathhouse environment is also very good. You can also take a comfortable bath. As you can see in the picture, I will definitely stay here again next time I go to Tokyo.
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.
It's almost directly connected to the station, and there's a convenience store next door. There's a large public bath. They even have late-night soba noodles.
I can see why it's so popular.
However, perhaps because it's so popular, or perhaps because there are no other hotels, there are a lot of customers. When I went to the public bath quite late at night, it was so crowded that there were no spaces available for washing. They didn't anticipate something like that, and it's probably something you've never experienced at any other hotel, so I guess the hotel didn't anticipate it either. It was a surreal situation, with everyone lined up naked in the changing room. The bathtub was big, but not that big, so it almost ended up being a family bath with strangers.
The bed springs are a bit too soft, it's starting to hurt my back.
The good thing is that the hotel is a traditional Japanese room renovation, cross beams, there are various Japanese buildings in the room, very distinctive, especially similar to the Wubing Bathtub, very pleasant. Worth living. But because it is a wooden floor, the room above the night is very loud!
The bad place is that someone received only until 6:00pm in the evening, and then I relied on my own DIY. I arrived at 6:45 and all of them were sold to the door. I asked the local Japanese to call the Japanese contact number and no one answered. There were no 7 children nearby. Call back trip.com, Miss Peng, who is in charge, works hard to assist, it is worth it! Finally found the self-service door password and successfully entered.
The hotel management is insufficient, there is no communication with customers, there are two password locks, I don't know that it is the door, and the room is not stated in the room; the contact number is not received after 6:00 pm, so that the guests are incompetent and surprised!
I stayed here while on a business trip. The location is great, close to the station and has restaurants and convenience stores. The front desk staff explained everything to me carefully, so I was able to stay there with peace of mind.
Please note that the amenities are located next to the front desk and not in the rooms.
The single room felt small, but was sufficient for a night's stay without meals.
Watching the ice show at Saitama Super Arena opposite.
After the show, you can see it by walking across the overpass.
The front desk directly checked in with the passport and got the room card.
The single room is quite spacious, well-equipped, and clean.
The TV displays the buffet breakfast information, WIFI password and other check-in information.
The buffet breakfast on the second day has Saitama's special colorful rice.
I am greedy for rice, so I finished two bowls in the morning 😂
It was a good stay experience. I will stay again next time I come to see the show.
I used it by one woman from the country to watch the concert.
It takes about 10 minutes from Saitama Shintoshin Station without transfer, and it is adjacent to Kamio Station, so exit the ticket gate and go in front of you. I was able to go without hesitation even for the first time. There are convenience stores, cafes and restaurants nearby.
I usually don't smoke, but this time I used it because there was only a smoking room available. I was worried about the smell, but it was clean and I didn't really care about it. I think it's better to stop sensitive people because it's not that there is no.
It's not the latest hotel, so I can't recommend it to people who are innocent, but the cleaning was done properly, and above all, the front desk staff were kind. The station was clean and the security seemed to be good, so I would like to use it again if I have another chance.

Great
A nice newer hotel located around 750 meters from the train station. It is located close to walking streets and some historical sites. It’s more of a business hotel so some of the rules are reflected in their approach. The workers are very nice although not too many English speakers. The lobby is nice and simple and it has many samples only available at specific times I believe 3 pm till midnight. The rooms are very nice, bigger or than my Apa hotels and big tv and comfortable bed. Comes with long hard almost feels like small rocks in pillow. Get a second pillow that is softer in the lobby subject to time restrictions. Lighting is ample and there is desk and chair. Bathroom is one of those deep tubs and spout that provides water to both sink and tub. Nice electric Toto toilet with lots of pressure. My only complaint about bathroom is low water pressure and at times I had not enough very hot water to fill the tub in less than 30 minutes and be warm. The towels are small. Get more towels downstairs at desk. The room comes with a nice but not decadent buffet breakfast which starts at 6:30 till 8:30 unless you are there on a day it’s open till 9. Dinner is tasty but fairly bland. Everything looks nice but don’t come late because they don’t keep it well stocked near the end of hours. Mainly faux beef items and some grilled fish, funky eggs that change daily and sausage. There is good pastries but they do run low on them. Lots of marinated veggies, miso soup, low protein curries and soups. Coffee tea fruit drinks coke and sparkling water are available during meals and certain times during the check in time until say 6 unless there’s liquor out on weekend. Onsen is small but clean. Not maintained that often and closed from 9 am till 3 pm which is silly. Just clean it for a couple of hours like 2-4 am and leave open during prime time. Get a robe downstairs but don’t wear it nor pajamas to breakfast. No items in onsen so bring your skin products and Tahoe’s from the lobby. No seats for dressing nor drying your hair. No hair products or razors or shaving cream or brushes or combs in onsen. No extra towels so don’t forget yours.
The hotel service was excellent, and the staff could communicate in simple English. On the night of our check-in, coincidentally during the night festival, the hotel provided a shuttle bus service to pick up guests from the city center back to the hotel, which was incredibly thoughtful. They also offered a welcome hot soup for guests to enjoy and various yukata for visitors to wear while bathing. The room was very clean, and the minimalist decor was exactly to my liking. I highly recommend it and hope to stay again!
The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes from Wako station and within walking distance of the airport bus pickup point for both Narita and Haneda airports. I booked a non-smoking single room. The room is compact but efficiently designed, as is typical of most Japanese hotels. Interestingly, it features a double bed along with a small extra bed suitable for a child. The hotel is clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and responsible, offering helpful recommendations during my stay. Complimentary amenities such as facial masks and pajamas are provided. Breakfast includes a satisfying Japanese-style selection: miso soup, eggs, salad, Japanese curry and coffee. The hotel offers excellent value for its price, and I would gladly stay here again with my family on a future visit.
Very clean hotel in an amazingly convenient location. You can see the hotel on the sky as soon as you step out of the station. The complimentary breakfast had a huge variety of options and was all fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!
Araki Kousen Ryokan was absolutely lovely and felt very welcoming for our family. This was our first stay at a ryokan in Japan, and while we were initially a little worried it might feel old or uncomfortable, it was actually very clean, cozy, and full of charm. The staff were incredibly kind and made us feel right at home, even helping us secure a dinner reservation at a local restaurant. The onsen was relaxing and the water temperature was just right. Breakfast was a highlight as well—delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and a wonderful way to start the day together. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return with our family again.
Very nice hotel. Although it's not in the centre of Tokyo, it's very well connected. Direct train to Shibuya, Shinjuku, ikebukuro and so on. Good local amenities, two main supermarkets (one opened 24 hours), Seria (¥100 shop) and so on. For the people who need to do big shopping, Uniqlo is just downstairs, the pharmacy nearby is such a hit with the bargain price we have never seen anywhere within Tokyo. The room is tiny but efficient, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We usually stay in Asakusa Tobu hotel when we come to Japan but it's getting too pricey now. I'd say Wako Tobu is just as good. Will definitely stay here again!
