the hotel is very decent, i am really glad tp stay here as it is very near to the train station. The room has an old antique vibe but overall it was clean and tidy.

We spent very little time at the hotel but the room was small, as usual, and very clean. Nice amenities offered in the lobby to take to the room. Well located just in front of the main train station and in the center of town.

the location is just few minutes from the station. there's also laundry in the facility. we arrived late, but we contacted the facility beforehand and we're able to give us the pass code for the main door and our room.

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

Very value for money for traveling back and forth around Hokuriku region, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo metropolitan JR lines and trains to Haneda and Narita airport for 7 consecutive days. Frequent trains from Nagano to Tsuruga so it is very convenient if we only want to satisfy food and drinks cravings from the next city and return after a couple of hours! Quick and easy seat reservation process, otherwise if one is in a rush it is also easy to just hop on the non-reserved seat cars. Will deffo get again if I am back in the area.

Using the JR East Nagano-Niigata Area Pass this time was super convenient, with unlimited Shinkansen rides for 5 days. You can use it to travel all the way from Tokyo to Karuizawa, Nagano, and Niigata, which saved a lot on transportation costs. The best part is being able to reserve seats, making it easy to travel with luggage. It's perfect for people who enjoy in-depth travel or exploring north from Tokyo. The pass is very cost-effective, and I'd like to use it again next time!

A good option for red-eye flights or those traveling with elderly or young children. Narita Airport Bus Stop 16 is located just a short walk to the left from the exit. Show the QR code to the staff, then line up and wait. The driver will help load your luggage, and passengers can take any available seat. The bus ride is about 2.5 hours to a rest stop, where there's a 30-minute break. You can use the restroom or buy something to eat for the ride. After that, it's about another hour's drive to the Prince Hotel West Wing lobby. 👍🏻
