"This is a newer hotel and the rooms are very nice. Everything you need is close by. There’s a 7-11 on the second floor of the same building, which was super convenient. A shopping street is directly across the road with lots of restaurants, secondhand shops, and new stores. The train station and bus stops are also right across the street, so getting around is easy.
To get to Little Edo (Kurazukuri Street), you can take bus 1 or 2 and get off at W6. It costs about $2. We used a Suica card with no issues.
Finding the hotel itself was a bit tricky at first. It’s located inside a large building and the signage isn’t great. You need to go to the elevators near the 7-11 on the second floor and take them up to the 7th floor, where the hotel is located.
We had a car and used the parking garage in the same building. You bring your parking ticket to the hotel to pay. Parking was $19 per day, which felt reasonable for the location.
Overall, a comfortable stay in a very convenient area, just be prepared for a little confusion when you first arrive."
"The staff were very welcoming and bright. The room was very clean and fresh as usual. You have to accept that it's an old Japanese business hotel so the unit bath is on the small side. But the location is perfect for me."
"Honestly i cant tell you how this place was. I didnt stay here. I booked the room to have a place to crash after the kawagoe festival. But this booking was not as close to the festival as i thought it would be. By the time the i was leaving the trains were done for the night and ended up staying at a netcafe for a few hours before making my way to the next booking. What i can tell you is the area this place is in is very quiet, like eere, like i got the vibe that no one goes there unless they have to. Didnt make the choice difficult to not go back "
"Comfortable, clean, easy, owner of apartment was more accommodating than was expected. Kawagoe area is good. Matoba station near Nagatoro and Chichibu and not too far from Ikebukurou."
"The hotel is located behind Yakyu Inari Shrine, and it feels as if it is located within the shrine grounds.
Access to the Higashi Matsuyama station is also very convenient as there is a short cut that passes through the grounds of the shrine."
