Toyoko Inn Kashiwa-eki Higashi-guchi

I inadvertently went to Toyoko Inn Kashiwa Eki Nishi Guchi because a security guard at the West Bus Terminal pointed me in that direction. I was delighted to find a Toyoko Inn, with my luggages trundling along the path, amidst the cold weather. Alas, I discovered it to be the wrong one. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and hospitable to myself, a weary traveller. They allowed me to leave the larger luggage in the lobby and to retrieve it later, while I went in search of my hotel, Toyoko Inn Kashiwa Eki Higashi Guchi, located on the east side. Unfortunately, there are no shuttle services between the sister hotels. The staff at this hotel were warm and friendly, greeting you in Japanese with “Have A Nice Day” upon leaving and “Welcome Back,” upon returning. Each guest is expected to place towels outside his/her room, with fresh ones provided in a bag on the door handle, later in the day. The room would be made up on the fourth night. Breakfast was an array of noodles, rice, salad, soup, bread rolls, and natte (a healthy source of vitamin K2) - a different & healthier palate for a change. The staff at the breakfast counter would also greet you, much to my amazement! I would have loved to have visited Akeboyonama Agriculture Park, if the hotel were to offer such trips.

Very nice near train station
