Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Tsukuba
For most travelers, Ibaraki Airport (IBR) is the most practical entry point, being the closest to Tsukuba, though it primarily handles select domestic and limited regional flights. International travelers will likely rely on Narita International Airport (NRT) or Haneda Airport (HND), both of which serve as major international gateways located in neighboring cities. Narita offers a balanced choice with direct bus services, while Haneda is further but benefits from extensive transit options. The other two airports, Fukushima Airport (FKS) and Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ), are far removed from Tsukuba and are not in the city itself; these should only be considered if flight prices or specific schedules provide a compelling reason for the long multi-leg journey. In general, prioritize proximity via Ibaraki or international connectivity via the major Tokyo airports. Always check your arrival terminal as bus services often have specific stop locations.

Service: The receptionists were incredibly patient and attentive, providing excellent service. They showed me bus routes, helped me book a taxi, and offered the hotel's bicycle rental service – perfect! I also apologize for the inconvenience I caused the hotel due to my own negligence; it was a lifesaver! I haven't used cash in China for over ten years, I'll be more mindful in the future.
Environment: The pictures show the nearby Tsukuba Library and HAL events.
Environment: There's a coffee shop on the first floor connecting area. I strongly advise all tourists to avoid it. A tiny cup of coffee, about 100ml, costs nearly 700 yen – seven times the price of a vending machine! The service is also terrible. No wonder no Japanese people drink there; the surrounding area is mostly used for studying. The food area was empty for several days. I felt ripped off (this has nothing to do with the hotel, just a warning to avoid this coffee shop).
サービスについて：フロントのスタッフの方々が本道にvery kindで、サービスも行き期いていました.えてくれたり、タクシーの约を手伝ってくれたり、さらにホテルのレンタルサイクルサービスもUse できました.満点のサービスです! It's a private matter. I should be a helper. China's domestic cash management system that is more than 10 years old is a cash management company that has been operating for more than 10 years.
Environmental environment: Photos are close to Tsukuba library and HAL are in the library.
Environment (additional): もう一点, 1st-tier connecting part にあるカフェについてですが, full ての観光客の方にお勧めしません. The hand-operated product is about 700 yen, and the amount is about 100ml. The automatic vending machine has a 7 times price range. The customer service attitude is the best.だから日本人客がWho もいないわけだと纳得しました.

Next to a mall. Convenient for meals. And some shopping . A pity there's no public bath. Coin laundry available. . Staff service is fine. Except when I checked in. I got a lady staff coughing non stop and trying to explain to me the check in details.. she was not wearing a mask. That's not nice and I was upset. But had to cover my nose and mouth with a tissue paper. As I was caught suddenly facing a coughing staff. And didn't have time to pull out my medical.mask.
Parking was convenient. Drive to the small parking space behind the hotel. And you will be guided to use the special car lift to park car. Don't need to use the public multi storey car park.next door.FromUS$46

Good breakfast. Nice public bath. Was quiet when I was there. Early june. Sadly no dinner arranged. And didn't want to drive the narrow road out to town. Good thing they sold many types of cup noodles. So we a simple cup noodle dinner with their melon cider drink. Highly recommend to try their melon cider..
Staff very helpful.FromUS$45

2 minutes walk from the station. The room is clean and there is a large bath.
In addition to 9 kinds of small bowls, breakfast also has a buffet style such as omelets and French toast, and the taste was of course colorful and delicious.
If I have a chance, I would like to use it again.FromUS$52

The hotel is really great!
Although the staff at the front desk can only communicate in basic English, they have a very good attitude and are very enthusiastic. There is also free beer and soda drinks upon entry, and each resident can receive one drink. My room is a ladies-only area. In addition to the room card, there is also an access card for the ladies-only area, which makes me feel particularly at ease! The room is also larger than other Japanese hotel rooms! There is also a make-up mirror with a light strip on the edge of the tabletop in the room, as well as an electric blanket. In short, it has everything you need, which is very considerate! If I go to the Tsukuba area for a meeting next time, I will choose this hotel again!
The route recommended by Google Maps is inaccurate and very circuitous. You can reach the hotel in five minutes' walk after exiting the Research Academy Station. Just walk in the direction of the hotel. There is no need to follow the route recommended by Google Maps!FromUS$47

Thank you for your eye surgery for 3 days. I was very grateful to have you pick me up at the eye doctor. I stayed with breakfast, but the breakfast was very delicious. Also, the open-air bath is compact but very clean and there was a massage chair.FromUS$53

3點7分的評價有點低了，我覺得可以值個4.2。
酒店離車站有點遠，走路的話差不多得30分鐘，打車的話要1000到1500日元左右 地方是真的有一點點偏了。但是他們提供自行車，除了入住和離店的時候，用自行車移動還挺方便的。
除此之外，考慮到價格，倒沒有什麼特別值得吐槽的地方。有免費的早餐，雖然衹有兩三個種類。5 star

The other day, I climbed Mount Tsukuba and planned to take the cable car down, but unfortunately, the cable car was undergoing inspection, so I ended up walking down instead. I was exhausted around 4:00 p.m., but a soak in Kamenoi Hotel's hot springs was rejuvenating. As the sun set, I was captivated by the glittering night view of Mount Fuji and the Skytree from my seventh-floor room.
The room was well-cleaned, and the staff were very friendly. However, after washing my sweaty laundry at the laundromat, large fluffs fell out when I opened the dryer. It would be nice if they'd be more careful about things like that...
However, I'd definitely stay at Kamenoi Hotel again when I visit Mount Tsukuba again. Thank you.FromUS$153

The hotel is near the Tsukuba Research Institute Station, and it takes 2 minutes to walk out of the station.
Hygienic: very clean and tidy, no smell, instant smoking room no smell, very good!
Environment: The surrounding area is very quiet, the curtains are very good for shading, the sound insulation is very good, and the rest is very good.
Facilities: There are disposable razors, tea bags, shower caps and toner sets on the first floor, as well as microwave ovens. If you buy a lunch, you can eat on the first floor. There are also coin-operated washing machines and dryers, which are very convenient and the service staff are very friendly to help.
Service: The service is very friendly, smiling every time, answer all questions!FromUS$58

Although it's a 20-minute walk from the station, the parking lot is spacious and there are many restaurants nearby. I could see Mount Tsukuba from my room window.
The bathroom and shower were separated, and the bathroom facilities were clean. The room was compact but comfortable.
They offered unique services, such as free beer and highballs from 5 PM to 8 PM, which was a refreshing change.
The dining area was also cleaned frequently and was very tidy. The low price and included breakfast were also appreciated.FromUS$35
