Basic Hotel Chichibu

Located in the heart of a retro streetscape shopping arcade. After checking in at the main building, you walk for a short while and unlock the security yourself to enter this annex. The interior was surprisingly spacious, and having the bath and toilet separate made it very comfortable. Both Rooms were clean, and it felt so comfortable you wouldn’t think it had been renovated. Check-out was also easy, so we could head out into town early in the morning. Chichibu Shrine is also very close by, making it an ideal location for sightseeing. The main building is great as well, but this annex is highly recommended too.

The bed is large, and the TV offers not only local digital channels but also YouTube.\nYou can hear some noise because it’s near the tracks, a level crossing, and the station, but it’s not as frequent as JR trains so it wasn’t too bothersome.\nIt was also nice that the toilet and bath are separate.\nIf there’s one downside, there’s no sink, so if someone is using the bathroom you can’t wash your hands, which is a bit inconvenient.
