I stayed here to go to Tamaari, and it was within easy walking distance.A good place to take a walk along the approach to Hikawa Shrine.They were very kind from the time I made the reservation, and although the building was old, everything was clean and the displays of old clocks and antiques were wonderful.The atmosphere in the dining room was so nice that I regret staying overnight without meals.If I ever go to Tamaari again, I would definitely use it again.

This is a family run ryokan.I’ve had wonderful stays here. The owners are really welcoming and helpful. I’ve received uncountable travel advices and suggestions.As a “foreigner”, it was also a great experience to share meals and bath time with locals.

I like that the employees are calm, kind, and kind.The building is old and all rooms are Japanese style, but it was clean so I didn't mind.I think you can get a feel for the atmosphere when you make a reservation.For your information, when I stayed there, it seemed to be only a room without meals.

It is a ryokan with a unique atmosphere that people can clearly say whether they like it or not. The price is 6,000 yen per night, including breakfast and dinner, but if you stay without meals, it's 5,000 yen, and if you have one meal, you can get 5,500 yen with unlimited refills of rice.Free parking feeParking fees at nearby hotels are around 1,200 yen per night.You can also stay for consecutive nights.

The Ryokan, Japanese style Guesthouse, is run by the third generation and the couple is so nice and helpful. The hospitality makes me and my friends feel so like home. The whole family makes our stay just lovely. Mr. Suzuki, father and son, speak English! They were happy to help with everything and have a lot of tips about the area.The room is in Japanese style with tatami floor and futon beds, and don't worry, they are very comfortable! It's quite and I don't hear anything of other guests. The shared bath has a gigantic bathtub where 5 people could sit in ^^, alone is like a hot pool ^^Near to the building is the templestreet to the beautiful Hikawa Shrine and behind that the Omiya Park, amazing in spring - so many cherry trees, and behind the bonsai village, with many bonsai nurseries. Also near is the shopping center Cocoon, where you get everything you need, also great for souvenirs.Saitama itself has a lot of nice places to see but very near is also Kawagoe with its historical town and of course the big Tokyo!I will come here again everytime I want to visit Tokyo. Saitama is so calm and nice to recover from the busy Tokyo!
