Hostels in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

It's perfect for solo travelers. The shower room and powder room were both clean. It was my first time staying at a capsule hotel, and the women-only area was quiet and safe. I didn't use the food and drink bar, but when I looked in late at night, there were only men there, so I thought it would be nice if the eating area was larger. I was also able to leave my luggage there before check-in, which was helpful.

The location near Tokorozawa Station was very convenient. When I made my reservation, I requested a lower bunk, but the young man at the reception desk told me that the lower bunk was fully booked and I would have to stay in an upper bunk. When I replied, ”I requested that when I made the reservation,” an older staff member immediately changed me to a lower bunk after seeing my age (71) on my booking slip. I stayed on a Saturday, but there were actually plenty of vacant rooms, and several lower bunk rooms were still available. The capsule was much more spacious and comfortable than other places, but I had some drawbacks: I was bothered by noise from the neighboring rooms and the upper bunk, the mattress was thin, which caused some back pain, and the air was very dry, leaving my lips chapped when I woke up in the morning. Relatively speaking, I'd rate it a fourth out of five.

Easy to find from Kita-Koshigaya train station. Conveniently located amongst restaurants. Easy self check in Shared accommodation. Very rarely saw other patrons Free WiFi No parking.

The hotel is located in Nishikawaguchi, a little towards Kawaguchi. There are many Chinese people around, it is very lively at night, and there is also a red-light district. If you go to Tokyo by train, you can transfer from Akabane to Ikebukuro and use the Tokyo Subway Pass. The one-day fare is 280+280+pass fee, so you can basically visit all the attractions in Tokyo in three days. During the Spring Festival, the hotel is also 400 RMB per night.
