NIPPONIA Chichibu Monzenmachi

The wooden bath was amazing!😆 If you are not familiar with Japanese-style inn, I recommend you bring an eye mask though. The rooms don't have curtains. Isnstead, they have shoji-paper sliding wall for windows which let the light in so the room may get quite bright in the morning,

The bathroom and bathtub were very luxurious. The location is excellent close to bars and restaurants. Everything was very clean. The host provided us with vouchers and recommendations for local businesses which were excellent.

The sleeping area was a bit cold, which ended up being fine for sleeping. The high windows on the room did not have blinds that we could find so the morning light woke us.

Chichibu Saitama is an amazing oasis with easy access from Ikebukuo. With most izykaya's offering Ichiro's Malt Whisky just makes it even better. Many shrines are also in the area and all are easy to walk to. Nipponia is an INCREDIBLE place to stay with every aspect exceeding my expectations. Near to most everything you would want to do in Chichibu makes it even better.

The staff were so kind, the food was amazing and the rooms super cozy. A great stay!

Very good for families if you have children.

Needs to be refreshed. Quite old and wirn

The presentation of the breakfast was really beautiful and tasty! Everything came in 12 little bowl plates, neatly aligned on the tray, every dish in a different colour to make the served food stand out - pure eye candy ;- )

I get that the interior where we had breakfast was emulating the traditional Doma place in a Minka house, but it had a bit of a chilly atmosphere and could do with creating a warmer welcoming atmosphere...

It was a fantastic place right near the railway station. The room was spacious and had a very traditional vibe to it. Even though it was chilly outside, it had a lot of ways to keep the place warm, and the bath was nice and big, and there was lots of hot water. The breakfast was also amazing -.12 Japanese tasting dishes. It had all the feeling of staying at a traditional inn. We also got some coupons for the local goods gift shop and the ones, which was a nice touch.

We had a room with stairs, and the stairs were a bit steep.

The wood panelled rooms were well crafted and smelled of cedar. Everything was pleasing to the senses, the view, touch, smell, ambience, the taste of breakfast. The bath was especially lovely. They also have two bikes available to use, and I made use of one of them to explore before leaving.

Nothing.
