Hotels With spa in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

Omiya Kagayaki Hotel: An Unexpectedly Great Stay When I decided to visit a friend in Saitama, I spent a long time browsing booking platforms. Omiya Kagayaki Hotel's ratings weren't amazing, and the reviews were mixed. Some mentioned the onsen's hygiene wasn't great, others complained about a cemetery view from their room. After much hesitation, I booked it, swayed by the 'rooftop infinity onsen' and its 'proximity to the station.' It turned out to be the decision I regretted the least during that trip around Tokyo. It was evening when I arrived at Omiya Station. After exiting, I followed navigation for about five minutes and soon spotted the hotel's unassuming yet distinctive building. Downstairs, there was a convenience store and a well-stocked pharmacy. I later realized how incredibly convenient this location was – if I wanted a late-night snack or forgot something, I could just pop downstairs. Check-in was on the 13th floor, unlike most hotels located on the ground floor. As I pushed open the lobby door, the front desk staff looked up and smiled, instantly washing away half my travel fatigue. Check-in was swift, with no long waits or awkward communication barriers. The staff confirmed my booking in fluent English and, as they handed me the room key, pointed towards the elevators and softly mentioned the onsen's operating hours. Their warmth was just right – not overly effusive, but making you feel genuinely attended to. Upon entering the room, my first thought was: 'It's bigger than I expected.' Having stayed in many cramped business hotels in Japan, Omiya Kagayaki's double room, at least, allowed me to lay my suitcase flat on the floor without blocking the way. The bedding was clean and crisp, the pillows just the right firmness. I'm usually sensitive to new beds, but I slept surprisingly soundly both nights. The window insulation was excellent; practically no street noise came in. What surprised me most was the bathroom. A wet/dry separation design isn't common in business hotels, and the shower pressure was so good I wanted to stay in longer. Hot water arrived quickly. Toiletries were comprehensive, not just those token small packages. But what truly made this hotel worth every penny was the rooftop onsen. Soaking in the hot water that evening, looking out at Saitama's night view through the glass, I felt completely re-energized. In the misty air, a local lady next to me started chatting in Japanese, basically saying she comes every week and the water temperature here is 'just right.' I smiled and nodded; though I didn't understand everything, that sense of relaxation was universal. Notably, the onsen was also relatively accommodating to tattooed guests – you just need to cover them with patches, which is quite rare in Japanese hotels. For travelers with tattoos who want to experience a Japanese hot spring, this small detail will likely be remembered for a long time. Breakfast also deserves a special mention. It offered both Japanese and Western options. The scrambled eggs were particularly good – fluffy and moist; I had two servings each day. While the dishes weren't luxurious, they were plentiful and thoughtfully prepared. I highly recommend adding dried tofu to the miso soup! It was more than enough to start the day full. On check-out day, instead of using the self-checkout machine, I went to the front desk. The staff took my room key, smiled, and said, 'Mata okoshi kudasai' (Please come again). I nodded, thinking to myself: 'I will, see you later, bye!' The quality of a hotel sometimes isn't about how luxurious it is, but whether it makes you feel like 'staying here is hassle-free.' Omiya Kagayaki achieved that. The warmth of the front desk, the cleanliness of the room, the peace and relaxation of the onsen, and the convenience of its location – all these elements combine to create a reason to return.

It's a sleeping offer at the local onsen. It's clean with proper ventilation inside the pot. I found it comfortable. The onsen looks old, with a bit weird design. It's tattoo friendly meaning you can enjoy seeing japanese men full body tattooed. Is it yakuza style? Please consider before you book. The hotel is in the same building with ******** game spot, which add some specific vibes to the place. There is NO lockers to keep your bags. They asked me to keep my relatively big bag inside the sleeping pod, which I found a bit insane. I was sleeping hugging it. There is neither fridge no even microwave. Only café to eat in. They charge you extra money even for several minutes late after check out. No mercy. If you cope with all this, you'll definetly enjoy your stay.

I booked this hotel in order to go to My Neighbor Totoro Forest, which was unexpectedly good. Breakfast is really worth the price. It costs more than 2,900 yen for a separate order. It is recommended that you choose the breakfast. The breakfast place overlooks Mount Fuji. It is a Japanese-style breakfast, one serving per person. There are many types, rich in nutrients and delicious, delicious! Also, the hotel has a public hot spring. We went there at night. There were not many people and it was very comfortable. In short, I felt very surprised. The room was large and there was a small table for drinking tea. There was floor heating under the small table, which was very good. The only thing that must be picky is that the decoration is a bit old, but the quilt is very clean. I don't think it will affect my praise of him. As for the geographical location may require self-driving, I don't know that public transportation is inconvenient.

Beautiful traditional Japanese stay. It was a bit further away from the city, but the experience made it worthwhile. Dinner was excellent, with many creative dishes. It was also included in the price. The onsen was very well kept, and the place was clean. Would 100% recommend staying here.

A real friendly hotel with stunning view. Excellent services with nice and friendly staff to help around. I will definitely recommend to others if they are going to travel here. highly recommend to all kinds of travellers who enjoy good services and good services. Simply in love with it very much. enjoy and thanks. Very good food, and very stunning view indeed!

I chose this hotel because it remained affordable even though prices were inflated due to the Konosu Fireworks Festival. It's also conveniently located near the station, making it a great stopover if you plan to head to Karuizawa or Nagano early the next morning.

I always use this hotel. The rooms are always cleaned, and although it depends on the time of day you use the large public bath, you can use it without it being crowded and you can relax. The free breakfast is also delicious and satisfying. The parking lot is large and easy to park in, and there are convenience stores nearby, so it's easy to go shopping. The staff are always very friendly, making it a comfortable hotel to stay at. It's a hotel I would definitely like to visit again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here thinking it was just an ordinary business hotel. It was generally clean, but unfortunately there was hair from the previous guest here and there. The staff were very nice. I didn't go in, but apparently there is a hot spring that switches between men and women depending on the time. They serve free dinner and curry, but don't be fooled by the fact that it's free. It's incredibly delicious. I'll definitely come back!

Very clean and comfortable! I was just looking forward to the large communal bath, but it was a pity that women could only enter at 24:00 ～ 26:00. I thought it would be better to write it on the site in advance or to have a discount instead of not putting women in. However, I am very satisfied with the ice service and the facilities in the room.

Crowded by members of day trip hot springs. The manager class is good service Young staff often don't know. I think I'll tell regulars, but the hurdle is high for the first time. I don't recommend anyone who is a guest and has Tato ｩｰ.
