With a breakfast buffet included, right near the station, just before Silver Week, getting a room in the ¥6,000 range (and even under ¥6,000 if you use points right away) is unbelievable. And it’s not “cheap and nasty”—everything is properly taken care of—so I have no complaints at all. Here are my impressions.
[Room & Amenities] No issues! The only downside was that the Wi‑Fi password wasn’t posted in the room, so I had to go to the front desk to check it. Being able to see the station platforms from my room was a big plus for a train fan (lol).
[Staff & Service] Nothing to complain about!
[Hot Spring/Bath] Typical business-hotel size. I’m used to it. No particular complaints.
[Facilities & Equipment] Nothing stood out inside the building. It’s one minute from the station, but it doesn’t really stand out at first glance—I had to look around a bit.
[Meals] I think the breakfast buffet is high quality! They even had their specialty himokawa udon and fu-ni (wheat gluten simmered dish). I was very satisfied. It looked like they were open for dinner too, but it felt a bit hard to walk in casually—I wanted to try the sauce katsudon.
[Overall Satisfaction] A great hotel at an affordable price. Thank you very much. If you’re planning to take an early-morning ride on the Watarase Keikoku Railway, this is a must-pick option!
