Ura-bandai, Kitashiobara hotel rooms at the Independent

"Nice hotel "

"If you are looking to experience how Japanese travel, sleep on tatami rooms and eat a good selection of Japanese food. Then this hotel is a good choice. Your room includes a breakfast and dinner buffetes and most people wear the colorful yukata provided by the hotel. The property is a bit out of date but the public bath is quite nice. Transportation into the city is limited and taxi is about $20 USD"

"Great hot spring and nice facilities."

"Breakfast and dinners were excellent. All the staff were so friendly and helpful!"

"The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with very fast internet. The onsen has indoor and outdoor option also with Sauna room--also very clean and all-natural hot springs. The half-board dinner and breakfast were also delicious and well-prepared. This hotel staff also provided us with best-in-class service. Parking lot was very large with ample room for its guests. We had a great time and would return in the fall. Thank you for the incredible experience!!!"

"Room service included daily and very clean. Smoking rooms do wreak of cigarette smoke, but what could you expect."
