“Such a cool experience in a renovated ryokan. It was a relaxing way to end our trip!”
The breakfast was amazing and one of the best meals we had on this trip! Our room was beautiful and really enhanced the experience of the old town. They provided us with many free amenities and comfortable beds.

“At under an hour to Narita Airport, Sawara is a fantastic place to stay for the end of a trip”
The rooms are at different locations in the town. We stayed at the Shippou building which is just beside the ja ja bridge, where the river boats set off from. It was a really good location, essentially right in the middle of the prettiest part of town where it gets lively on weekends and probably the festival times. Breakfast is at the main hotel which is about a 5 minute walk away. The room was fantastic with quality amenities. Breakfast (at the main hotel) was excellent.

“Wonderfull hotel not too far from Narita”
The hotel is composed by various buildings located in different places of the city. Check in is done at reception where all information is provided. Parking easily available. Accomodation was so charming, with all what we could need, minibar fully stocked and design. Very quiete night at Shippou along the river and away from the road. Even in winter, no cold in the room to sleep nicely. Staff are doing their best to help and have a good stay. Restaurant LE UN, where breakfast is served as well, is Top Class and food delicious. City is really charming and worth discovery thanks to the map provided by the Hotel and local shops easily found (coffee, souvenirs, sake, soy sauce, etc)

walking from the room to the restaurant on the street that the cars zoom by does not feel safe

“Great place for one night and only for summer time”
Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Very Japanese styled rooms and designs. Located in old town Narita. Very good breakfast. If you want to experience Japanese culture this is the hotel to stay.
