the capital city area (near Tokyo) | The best Japanese hotels and Ryokans

This is a quiet Ryokan (Japanese inn) located halfway between Chichibu city and Nagatoro. The Japanese-style building was decorated with many paintings and vases that landlady had collected as a hobby, making it feel like an art museum. We enjoyed the baths at Wadou Onsen, also known as the "medicinal bath" and with a long history as one of the Seven Hot Springs of Chichibu. There are two baths with different designs, one made of rocks and the other made of cypress. Each has a large indoor bath and an open-air bath with a sense of openness, and both have wonderful views of the trees that were very relaxing. We were also satisfied with the substantial Japanese course dinner. There was a wide selection of Chichibu wine, sake, and shochu to enjoy with the food. There were also a small souvenir booth, a cafe terrace, private baths, and many other things to do.

The location is within walking distance of Hakone Yumoto Station. It is a little independent guest cottages from the Hakone Open-Air Museum, but it is about 40 minutes by train or bus. This is Ryokan (Japanese inn) you can enjoy the great outdoors and hot springs of Hakone. We enjoyed the hot springs from our own source in the open-air bath in the sky and the various indoor baths. The open-air bath in particular was really spacious, and we felt close to the trees and could see the mountains and sky well, giving us a sense of openness and a sense of extraordinary. We also had a Japanese-style circular open-air bath and a Lying-down bath for lying down, where we could take a bath while looking at the night sky of Hakone. The vast garden was also very beautiful, and the shrine and the forest were integrated, creating a mysterious space. There was also a waterfall, and I felt like my body and mind were purified. There are various types of rooms, from standard twins to Japanese-style rooms and Japanese-style rooms with open-air baths.

Asakusa View Hotel is located near Sumida Park, in a great location where you can see cherry blossoms and the Skytree from your room or restaurant. It is also within walking distance of Sensoji Temple, making it convenient for sightseeing. During cherry blossom season, you can stroll along the rows of cherry trees in full bloom or enjoy cherry blossom viewing from a houseboat. We also recommend cherry blossom viewing at Ueno Onshi Park, which is nearby. You can also enjoy art museums and the zoo.

Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay is conveniently located for access to Disneyland, and as an accommodation with Japanese-style rooms, it is ideal for families and large groups. The spacious Japanese-style rooms have tatami spaces where even children can feel safe and relaxed. In addition, you can easily get to Disneyland with a free shuttle bus, and the natural hot springs are a great way to relax and soothe your fatigue after sightseeing. There are also plenty of shopping malls and restaurants nearby, making it a convenient environment for long-term stays.

The price of the accommodation varies depending on the date and the room. The cheapest price here is about 15,000 yen per person for one night with two meals. You can stay in a special room in the main building or in the annex for less than 30,000 yen. All rooms have an open-air bath. There are Japanese-style Japanese and Western room and Japanese-Western style rooms, and sofas and massage chairs are also available. The hot spring has an indoor bath and a large public bath, and you can bathe while drinking sake. Dinner is creative Japanese cuisine in a semi-private dining room. The sashimi is rainbow trout and rock trout caught in the Arakawa River. The thick Chichibu shiitake mushrooms are grilled and eaten. Breakfast is a tiered box and steamed in a bamboo steamer with side dishes.

I recommend The Prince Park Tower Tokyo. If you want to stay while enjoying the view of Tokyo Tower, this hotel is a good choice. The night view from the room is amazing. The rooms are spacious and the bedding is comfortable to sleep on, so you will feel safe and secure. Another attraction is the view bath from which you can enjoy the view, so I recommend staying with the view bath guaranteed plan.

If you want to go to Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, and Akihabara, I recommend a hotel in the Shinjuku area. Harajuku and Shibuya can be reached in 2-3 stops on the Yamanote Line, and Akihabara can be reached in 9 stops on the Sobu Line. It's convenient because there are no transfers. This hotel can be accessed from Shinjuku Station via an underground passage without going above ground. It's in Kabukicho, so it's close to restaurants and Don Quijote. There is also a McDonald's near the hotel. The original Japanese teriyaki burger is delicious, so please try it! From Narita Airport, you can take a limousine bus to the west exit of Shinjuku Station, but you must make a reservation, or you can take the Skyliner or Keisei Narita Airport Line to Nippori, then transfer to the Yamanote Line and access Shinjuku without transferring. If you take the limousine bus to Tokyo Station, you can access it from Tokyo Station on the Chuo Line without transferring. The hotel is clean and there is nothing particularly inconvenient about it. Although it is a hotel in Shinjuku, the room was quiet so I was able to sleep soundly.

I recommend this hotel, located about 20 minutes by car from Naritasan towards Narita Airport. In addition to a large natural hot spring bath and an open-air bath, there are also herbal baths, saunas and massage facilities. There is a free shuttle bus from JR Narita Station and it is easily accessible from Naritasan.

This hotel is 800m away from Kamogawa Sea World. With the ocean right in front of you, you can enjoy a resort atmosphere. In addition, since it's summer vacation, there is a hands-on craft corner, so it's perfect for making memories of your trip. They also lend out yukatas in children's sizes and baby beds, although the number is limited. Of course, they also have food for children, and they will reheat baby food if you ask, so if you're going with children, it's a good idea to stay at this safe inn.

First, please search their website. The hotel is prepared to accommodate customers from all over the world, offering not only English but also Spanish, Italian, Chinese and more. There is also an open-air bath with a view of Mt. Fuji, so we think that not only Japanese people but also people from overseas will be fully satisfied.

There are few hotels around Meiji Shrine, so you have to go to Shibuya or Shinjuku, but this Dormy Inn is a 10-minute walk from Harajuku Station, so it's also recommended for sightseeing in Harajuku. There is a large public bath on the second floor, and in addition to the indoor bath, there is also a high-temperature sauna and a cold bath, so if you like saunas, this is the place to stay. There are only twin rooms, so you will probably have to stay in more than one room, but you can stretch your legs out in the large bath, and there are plenty of free services, such as a free midnight snack (Dormy Inn's specialty Yonakisoba (noodles sold by a hawker at night)) and free ice cream after the bath.

We recommend the Setsugekka Hotel. This inn has a Japanese atmosphere, and there are many foreign tourists, so you can rely on them to assist you in English. As long as you pay attention to the small nuances, you can communicate on your own. All rooms have beautiful cypress open-air baths, and the experience of touring the baths in the bath basket is very comfortable. There are three private open-air baths with a rustic atmosphere that you can use immediately if they are available, without making a reservation. This is a recommended hot spring inn where even foreigners can experience precious Japanese culture.

This is a cheap business hotel in the Ariake/Toyosu area, and it offers a free shuttle bus to Disneyland and DisneySea. Even if you stay until the very last minute of the park's closing time, you can stay at the hotel without having to wait another day. Most of the room types are basic, but the price is kept down considerably, so this is a hotel we would especially recommend to those who value value for money!

There are many hotels around the Imperial Palace, but the accommodation costs are generally high. It can't be helped, since it's right in the center of the city. I recommend "Rem Hibiya." You can stay here for a reasonable price compared to other hotels. Please consider it.

If you want to play until late at night and then go to KidZania Tokyo the next day, you can easily get there the next morning from Urayasu Station on the Keiyo Line. For that reason, I recommend this hotel near Urayasu Station. It was popular with children and women because you are greeted by Disney characters and Disney statues. It's perfect because it's not a problem even if you stay late at night.

How about staying at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel for your child's first visit to Disneyland? Located right in front of the Disney Resort Line station, it is very convenient for transportation to the park. The hotel also has a bathroom with a washing area and a large communal bath. There is also an indoor pool and a well-equipped kids' area, so you can enjoy your hotel stay with your children to the fullest.

There are several reasons, but first of all, it is easy to access as it is right in front of the exit of the Land. The world of Disney can be felt in the small details such as the elevator as well as the front desk and rooms, which is very nice. There is also a kettle for boiling water in the room, which is very convenient. There is also a convenience store and a merchandise store inside the hotel, which is convenient.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Tokorozawa Station, and is also convenient for access Prev. You can relax in the clean and tidy building and rooms. There are many izakayas and restaurants in the area, so you won't have any trouble finding something to eat.

It is located just a minute's walk from Kayabacho Station on the Tokyo Metro subway line, so it is easily accessible. Single stays are available, and multiple nights are also available at a low price, so it is recommended. Amenities are also plentiful.
