This is the most affordable, clean and elegant 4 stars hotel! They provided very nice pyjamas for us and the kids! About 7 minutes walk to the station and the 7-eleven, lawson, natural lawson, family mart is just around the corner. We love the stay! 4 nights for just around $350 after KLOOK discounts worth every penny for an elegant/ modern, feels new vibe kind of hotel! They even have microwave at the 14th floor! We only figured it out on our last day there! Hope it helps you all to lessen packing your luggage 🤩

The location is good, really close to the station.
The pricing for overnight parking was pretty high, costing 2000 yen. Better if discount ticket can be provided for parking.

The location of this hotel is perfect. The hotel provide free shuttle service from airport to Hotel. however, pick up service from airport is available in the afternoon while shuttle bus to airport only available in the morning. even without shuttle bus, we may get into train station within 3 mins. it is really convenient. One added benefit is the free breakfast provided by Tokyo Inn. it’s is good and with variety of choices. we may come back to this hotel when we visit Tokyo again.

Although it's an older hotel, it's also clean, and the staff are courteous, which I thought was good. If you have the impression that it's right in front of the station, it's a bit of a walk. However, if you walk well from the 2nd-floor rotary, it connects directly! The 2nd-floor entrance isn't open during late-night hours, so I ended up on the 1st floor...

Tobu Kawagoe is a fantastic destination for a day trip from Tokyo. Kawagoe, often referred to as "Little Edo," is a charming town with a rich history and culture. Having a Tobu Kawagoe digital pass makes it more convenient to explore the town.

This was our first day in Japan and our first time as tourists navigating trains and transfers, so we were understandably nervous at the start. The Seibu Kawagoe Pass made everything much easier and more manageable. Instructions were clear, routes were straightforward, and the trains were punctual and comfortable. Once we completed what felt like the most challenging part—our first train transfers—we felt much more confident exploring on the following days. Kawagoe itself was a wonderful destination with its charming “Little Edo” atmosphere, traditional streets, and relaxed vibe. We truly enjoyed the experience and would love to return. Overall, the Seibu system was reliable, efficient, and very tourist-friendly, making it an excellent choice for first-time visitors to Japan.

Purchase a Seibu Railway one-day pass e-ticket. Activate the QR code on the day of use. However, it can only be used at gates with QR codes. If some small stations don't have QR code gates, show the QR code to the station staff. Although I didn't see any station staff in front of Seibu Stadium Station at the time, I saw a notice saying there was a call button nearby to notify them. Playing at the following attractions that day was really great value for the price.
Seibu Railway One-Day Pass $1000 0916 Seibu-Shinjuku --> 1025 Motokaji Walk 1.6 km Moomin Valley Park → 1330 Tamako Station Lake Tama Sayama Nature Park → 1500 Hanakoganei Park Station Koganei Park

i love this pass, first day little bit difficult because sometimes no staff near the gate. then we call the staff officer by machine n show the pass through the camera then they will let us enter the gate. 5 days easy to go and i used this pass to go to narita airport. next time i will use this pass again.
