3-Star Hotels in Narashino

The location is very easy to find. As soon as you leave the south exit of Keisei Tsudanuma Station and go down the stairs, you can see Kōban (police station). The building behind Kōban is the entrance to the hotel. The breakfast is very Japanese-style, mainly Japanese food, with fish and sashimi as the main focus. The miso soup is so good that even the Japanese praise it for being delicious. Most of the guests staying here are Japanese.

It was my first time to this station. I searched for this hotel nearby. I didn't expect that the hotel was inside the station. It was on the right hand side after exiting the station. I didn't have to go up or down stairs. It was a 3-minute walk from the train platform to the hotel room. The hotel room was large and comfortable. I will go there again in the future.

What a place to stay !! For a first Onsen style capsule pod hotel, this blew all expectations out the water. Massage facilities as well as electric massage chairs, study/work nooks, a shop, and four restaurants to cater any craving needs. Remove your shoes immediately and place them in a locker (located to the right when you enter the hotel). Exceptionally clean facilities, the onsen has numerous washing areas, a cold plunge pool, Sauna (90-100°C), Jacuzzi bath, three mineral hot baths, and outdoor hot bath, plus Ion bath. The Onsen is open until 1am and is busy from 5pm-10pm daily. Massages start from around 2000¥ Sleeping pods are spacious, although the lockable lockers within the pods are around 9 inches deep. There’s a hanging rail, and beside the sleeping area you’ll find a TV, power outlet, and standard USB charging point. Access: The hotel is located on the 1st floor. Use the outdoor escalators beside the bus terminal. There’s a McDonalds plus various other eateries and shops within the shopping mall, including a supermarket that sells everything from lighting, small/large electronics, and bicycles. If you’re visiting Makuhari Messe like I did, Uber will cost you 2000-3000¥ each way - taking around 10 minutes in peak hour traffic. The local staffed train station is located beside the Bus Terminal, providing decently quick access into Tokyo. Staff were extremely friendly, smiling, and always happy to help. There is a smokers lounge room within the hotel.

If you are wanting to do something near the hotel location then I’m sure it’s perfect for a night or two. We stayed for 1 night and it was a last minute booking. We arrived at 8pm. The staff were great, friendly and helpful. They helped us with the car parking which was ¥1000 for the night. Let them know at reception and they will ask for your car registration. They’ll give you a QR code to scan before you leave in the morning. Our room was tiny and we could hear the highway next to the hotel, there was one pillow each side and the beds were small. Bedsheets were light and the draft from the window was enough to make the room feel cold. TV was massive for the room size and in an awkward position, by the side of the bed. No smart tv apps but it did let you mirror YouTube on iPhone. Netflix doesn’t mirror. You can help yourself to amenities at the front desk. The elevators are very small and can hold 2-3 people comfortably. Overall average hotel does the night but you wouldn’t want to stay for longer periods. At least not in the room we were in.
