Ryokan in Saitama Prefecture

"Great hotel, and staff is friendly (could smile more) and helpful. Their breakfast could be a bit like the Toyoko-Inn in Odawara. Rooms are very clean and spacious! LOVE IT! Yashio is a nice town. It has TWO supermarkets within walking distance. LOTS of restaurants! I would definitely stay again at this hotel in Yashio! The kitchen/breakfast staff is amazing! They are so friendly, and they work so hard from 5am-9am to make sure breakfast is ready for the guests! Like every Toyoko-Inn. Free breakfast and free coffee until midnight every day! JUST ONE THING TO REMEMBER: You HAVE to take the Tsukuba Express train, which costs 320 yen for an adult, from the Kita-Senju station, which you can use your JR pass to get to, to the Yashio Station. The Tsukuba Express train does NOT take the JR pass, as it is privately operated! No big deal. Take the JR Joban Line to Kita-Senju Station. Then buy your ticket(s) for the Tsukuba Express train to the hotel. Get out of the central exit/entrance once you have reached the Yashio Statopn/stop (TX08). Look up to the sky! You will see Toyoko-Inn's big sign on the building. Two minutes walk there! Go behind the 7-11 store! To get back to central Tokyo. Use the Tsukuba Express train toward Ikahibara Station, but get off at the Kita-Senju Station/stop. Then transfer to the JR Joban line. If you take the Tsukuba Express train to Ikahibara, it will cost you a FORTUNE! You can also take H metro line, if you don't mind 22 stops!"

"Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was diverse and delicious. Wonderful staff. "

"We LOVED this hotel, it is, as many Japanese hotels are, a bit tiny but the service, the amenities, the cute calm location and being attached to the hotel... 10/10. Only issue is that the airport hotel bus system is very confusing so if youre booking we'd advise ensuring if you’re flying out of Narita to another destination domestically etc., book your flight later in the day. Also reeeally look up your options for getting to NRT"

"Great atmosphere in the hotel bar loved the jazz soundtrack."

"Everything in this hotel (bed, sofa) are low. There is no chair in the room. Dining has limited number of chair and seats in ordinary heights. Seats in the pictures are all low, as if we were living in Tatami (Japan) room."

"シャワーから水が出なかったので、スタッフに問い合わせたところ、ひたすら謝られただけで解決してくれなかった。故障だと思い使うのを諦めたが、実はシャワーの横あるボタンを押せばよかっただけ😓　バスルームに使い方の説明をつけておいて欲しかった。 それ以外は、駅からも近く部屋も綺麗で広くまた泊まりたいと思った。"

"Easy check in and check out. Clean room. Great amenities and free breakfast daily."

"The room was small but very clean and well appointed. The shower was great with good pressure and lots of hot water. EXCELLENT value! We would stay again."

"Everything about this hotel was excellent. Nice spacious modern room, quiet, great staff, great amenities and close to everything. "
