Itamuro Onsen Holidays from NZ$2,583

Most restaurants open till midnight. Easy and fast transportation to Tokyo. Just beware of people on the street keep asking and harassing you to take the service they provide especially at night time.

From the moment we entered the hotel it was a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing, the hotel is beautiful, and the food was great. The shower, was nice except my daughter wants me to find that shower head to install at home now. Water pressure was spot on. Products were what you would expect from a hotel like this and everything was clean. The bed was luxurious and a dream to sleep in. I do not have enough words to say how much I enjoyed staying here.

The hotel location is ideal for taking the subway around Tokyo, with an entrance across the street. There is a nice park along the river with cherry trees and a playground only a couple blocks away. The breakfast was very good with no wait early in the morning. The combo washer/dryer in the laundry room does not dry clothes within the default washing/drying time (2.5 hours), so be prepared to add more time (no idea how much is needed) or hang clothes all over your room. There are a lot of clothes hangers provided, which I suspect might be for that intended purpose. We booked two rooms with a king bed each for our family of 4, with kids aged 10 and 7 each bed sharing with one parent (we often do this at home too, so pretty normal for us), and it was great. The beds are firm, which we like. The rooms benefit from luggage fitting under the bed.

Keio Plaza was wonderful. The room (2757) had a great view we could see the sky tree. Proximity to the station was great. The little extras in the room was a nice touch. We did have issues with luggage sending (it was not sent the day it was supposed to be, ultimately since I had an AirTag in the bag, I noticed and they did get my bag to the next hotel on time. Be aware there is a long line at 9am for luggage shipping. We had it there at 7 and there was no line. Overall I could not recommend Keio Plaza enough. We did not try any dining but the on site 7/11 was vital for morning coffee because there was only instant in the room.

We had 2 adjacent rooms with a divider that can open or close so it worked out for us because we get 4 beds and 2 bathrooms for our family of 4 with 2 young kids. Location is pretty central with about 10-15 minutes walk to shopping area and train station. Area is close enough to dining options and of course multiple Family Mart, 7-11, and Lawson along the way. Rooms are clean and quiet.
