Kamenoi Hotel Ome

The check-in service easily passes with room to spare. It’s rare these days to receive such a detailed explanation delivered with a smile. The Room is spacious and spotlessly clean. Unfortunately, the view is just an ordinary townscape—but since it isn’t a river-view Room, that’s understandable. The bath is large with an excellent view, and the washing area is more than sufficient, but it was a bit disappointing that the water is circulated and chlorinated. Meals—both breakfast and dinner—were flawless! Akigawa beef was great, but above all, the local vegetables were outstanding. They also offer a well-curated selection of regional sake unique to this Accommodation. Overall, considering this quality in Tokyo, the price can only be described as an incredible bargain.

After seeing a TV program called “Adomachi” featuring cool spots in West Tokyo, including Ome, I couldn’t stand the sudden extreme heat and made a spontaneous Reservation. However, the Kamenoi Hotel is not much cooler than central Tokyo. Still, I was able to relax with delicious meals and the Onsen.Here are a few things I noticed:1) At Ome Station, the Hotel Shuttle Service runs several times after 3:00 PM. I arrived around 2:40 PM and tried walking from the station (about 1 km). After leaving the area in front of the station, it’s mostly narrow roads with no shops. It’s not an enjoyable walk, so using the Shuttle Service is definitely the better choice.2) I originally planned to visit Sawanoi Keiryuen near Sawai Station the next day, and there was a free direct bus from the Kamenoi Hotel. This was very convenient—departing at 11:00 AM, which worked perfectly.3) The food is carefully prepared and delicious. If you get hungry later, there is a free tantanmen service starting at 9:00 PM. I was too full to try it, which I regret.
