Lumine Rokugo Dote

There were a lot of cheap restaurants and lunch boxes nearby this hotel, so there was a lot to eat. Also, the hotel had good amenities. Many items, including toothbrushes and towels, are free. A big advantage was that you could use the washing machine and dryer for free during limited hours in the morning and afternoon. However, you have to walk about 1.4km to Keikyu Kawasaki Station (京急川崎駅), where there are many things to see. And it was a bit uncomfortable to see a man walking down the living room hallway with his shirt off. It's not the host's fault, but I think it's important to regulate it well so that women can use it well! As of December 16, 2023, I paid about 40,000 won (KRW), but it is too noisy to go to a net cafe, and if you are looking for a quiet place for a similar price, I think this place is suitable!

Sake Kura Hotel Kawasaki Shuku

Kawasaki City
|1.05km from city center
A charming small hotel with a Japanese-style atmosphere. Located in a residential district of Kawasaki, about a 10-minute walk from the train and metro stations. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated in traditional Japanese style, featuring a raised futon bed. The large bathroom includes a whirlpool bathtub. Slippers, a bathrobe, and a Japanese kimono for walking around the property are provided in the room. The hotel does not have a traditional reception desk. On the ground floor, there's a cozy lounge where breakfast is served (simple pre-set meals—miso soup and a rice sandwich). A unique feature is the 24-hour access to a selection of several types of sake, drinks, juices, craft beer, and hot snacks in the hotel lobby—all included in the room rate. In summary, a modern hotel with authentic Japanese flair and the added bonus of free sake tasting. Highly recommended.
