Hostels in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

From midnight to 5 am not a single toilet was open. I understand a power energy shortage, but I don't understand providing access to even one single toilet at night, especially that the emergency power source was used to provide light in the corridors and changing room. I don't think that the light there was necessary, but a toilet is a necessity. Other that that it would be good.

What a place to stay !! For a first Onsen style capsule pod hotel, this blew all expectations out the water. Massage facilities as well as electric massage chairs, study/work nooks, a shop, and four restaurants to cater any craving needs. Remove your shoes immediately and place them in a locker (located to the right when you enter the hotel). Exceptionally clean facilities, the onsen has numerous washing areas, a cold plunge pool, Sauna (90-100°C), Jacuzzi bath, three mineral hot baths, and outdoor hot bath, plus Ion bath. The Onsen is open until 1am and is busy from 5pm-10pm daily. Massages start from around 2000¥ Sleeping pods are spacious, although the lockable lockers within the pods are around 9 inches deep. There’s a hanging rail, and beside the sleeping area you’ll find a TV, power outlet, and standard USB charging point. Access: The hotel is located on the 1st floor. Use the outdoor escalators beside the bus terminal. There’s a McDonalds plus various other eateries and shops within the shopping mall, including a supermarket that sells everything from lighting, small/large electronics, and bicycles. If you’re visiting Makuhari Messe like I did, Uber will cost you 2000-3000¥ each way - taking around 10 minutes in peak hour traffic. The local staffed train station is located beside the Bus Terminal, providing decently quick access into Tokyo. Staff were extremely friendly, smiling, and always happy to help. There is a smokers lounge room within the hotel.

The bed was comfortable and I was able to move around energetically the next morning. However, there was a smoking area near the stairs, so the smell of cigarettes was a bit of a concern. I had the curry from the daily menu, but it was spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you might want to be careful.

Note that it is a hostess rather than a hotel. The bed is ２ stage of the lower double plus upper single. Up to ３ names can be stayed. ２ person sofa, table, desk & chair. Wifi complete. Unit bus & toilet. The refrigerator is shared on the floor. There is no meal, but you can borrow a 1F kitchen and cook it yourself. There is a free drink service. There is no TV, and it is an alternative projector + subsqueeze viewing environment. You can also watch your own video by connecting the smartphone. Amenities feel like charging the necessary amount. Toothbrush set, razor, body towel, solid soap, shampoo & rinse can be bought. The bath towel is borrowed at 200 yen. It is returned from the hygiene side in ２ days. Shampoo rinse body soap set is also available for bottles.

Manager was helpful and speak English well. I was in TEI room and comfort . However there was some old wooden smell and hope that can try to put scent or aroma oil or air refresher to eliminate it . overall was good and I enjoyed it.

The location is fine, I booked this hotel for an event at Messe Hall. The bed was ok, but unfortunately the bathroom had leaking problems, there was always water on the floor.

The hotel is just by the river in Yoro Valley, a standard old-fashioned Japanese hotel with no elevator. Dinner and breakfast are all Japanese-style set meals, very rich, and they are all local specialties, and they taste good. The hot spring is in a cave underground, and the hot spring water is black.
