location was good, only 5 mins walk from Seibu Chichibu station. My room got a very nice hill view, quiet and tranquil. The room was clean, very spacious in Japanese standard. Staff were very polite and helpful. There was one gentleman staff helped me to find packing material to wrap my walking stick that I bought from the temple during my 34 Kennon pilgrimage; so that I could bring it back home with me. Many thanks! By the way, the breakfast was very good with big array of food.

Easy Stay Chichibu

Chichibu

A mini hotel with three rooms. Registration is in a bar on the second floor. It's very simple but clean, the room is very spacious according to Japanese standards. The room is full bathroom, bathroom with a crane and a sink - separately. There is a small refrigerator, a table, air conditioner. The roseeta is enough. When you check in the room there was one drip-pack of coffee. In the general corridor - microwave and teapot. The place is quiet. The only shortcoming is the fourth floor without an elevator with a very steep staircase, but this is warned in advance when booking. In general, for such price I strongly recommend.

The good thing is that the hotel is a traditional Japanese room renovation, cross beams, there are various Japanese buildings in the room, very distinctive, especially similar to the Wubing Bathtub, very pleasant. Worth living. But because it is a wooden floor, the room above the night is very loud! The bad place is that someone received only until 6:00pm in the evening, and then I relied on my own DIY. I arrived at 6:45 and all of them were sold to the door. I asked the local Japanese to call the Japanese contact number and no one answered. There were no 7 children nearby. Call back trip.com, Miss Peng, who is in charge, works hard to assist, it is worth it! Finally found the self-service door password and successfully entered. The hotel management is insufficient, there is no communication with customers, there are two password locks, I don't know that it is the door, and the room is not stated in the room; the contact number is not received after 6:00 pm, so that the guests are incompetent and surprised!
