Hot Springs Hotels in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Main 2 things need to mention. 1. Welcome from reception is very poor. They like very tired. They need to smile and Welcome the guests. 2. Food. California International Buffet breakfast is very poor. Specially for Vegetarian and Vegans doesn't have choices at all. Very food mix with Pork, Eggs, Beef, Chicken but only 2 main food available for Vegetarian. Which is Rice and Vegetable curry. That's not International buffet should serve. At least Friedrice or Noodles should have for Vegetarians. All are mix with meat. Another main thing is I was accommodate for few weeks and all the weeks are same exact menu doesn't change anything. Buffet staff are with good manner.

Staying overnight in Japan for a layover, choosing this hotel was a brilliant decision! The hotel offers a shuttle service, making transfers to and from the airport incredibly convenient. The environment was a pleasant surprise; there's an incredibly beautiful back garden. A morning stroll there was refreshing, surrounded by lush greenery. They even thoughtfully provided mosquito repellent at the entrance – the attention to detail was excellent. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious options. All the fatigue from my layover vanished. Highly recommended!

We were looking forward to the The Farm stay to end our fiat Japan trip. We were 3 kids below 10 and 2 adults. The best parts of the trip were, 1. Staff - mai and Narumi were very helpful. Mai especially took a lot of trouble to explain everything at the farm by using Google translate. Even the staff at the cafe at breakfast time and reception were all very very nice, though I don’t have their names. 2. Hot springs - was super experience and we loved it. Everything clean and proper and very comfortable, even though we were walking around naked. 3. Rooms- I stayed at Habita. It was good and kids loved it quite a bit. The loft, the futon on top, though the projector didn’t work too well. 4. Strawberry farm trip was amazing. The strawberries were all super nice and melting in the mouth with the right textures and flavours. Even better if? 1. BBQ- we wanted to do a bbq. Habita package didn’t come with free BBQ. The cost to do one was crazy expensive. 3,300 per adult and 2,200 per child just for ‘equipment’ cost. That’s 13,000yen or around USD80, without any meats or anything. Felt really excessive, so we opted out. 2. Board and card games- our family wanted to play some board games and there were plenty of those at the reception. When we asked if we could get a pack of UNO, we were told it was only for the ‘cottage’ occupants. Considering most of the property was empty, it was a bit sad that they did not allow us a pack to play with. 3. Though not the fault of the property, the lack of any public transport and the very taxi costs to outside world for anything was a negative. It would have been even better if they could arrange a couple of more shuttles to narita or to local town etc.

What a place to stay !! For a first Onsen style capsule pod hotel, this blew all expectations out the water. Massage facilities as well as electric massage chairs, study/work nooks, a shop, and four restaurants to cater any craving needs. Remove your shoes immediately and place them in a locker (located to the right when you enter the hotel). Exceptionally clean facilities, the onsen has numerous washing areas, a cold plunge pool, Sauna (90-100°C), Jacuzzi bath, three mineral hot baths, and outdoor hot bath, plus Ion bath. The Onsen is open until 1am and is busy from 5pm-10pm daily. Massages start from around 2000¥ Sleeping pods are spacious, although the lockable lockers within the pods are around 9 inches deep. There’s a hanging rail, and beside the sleeping area you’ll find a TV, power outlet, and standard USB charging point. Access: The hotel is located on the 1st floor. Use the outdoor escalators beside the bus terminal. There’s a McDonalds plus various other eateries and shops within the shopping mall, including a supermarket that sells everything from lighting, small/large electronics, and bicycles. If you’re visiting Makuhari Messe like I did, Uber will cost you 2000-3000¥ each way - taking around 10 minutes in peak hour traffic. The local staffed train station is located beside the Bus Terminal, providing decently quick access into Tokyo. Staff were extremely friendly, smiling, and always happy to help. There is a smokers lounge room within the hotel.

If you can overlook the hotel's aged exterior, which is understandable given its proximity to the sea, you'll find it to be a highly recommended stay overall, thanks to its exceptional cleanliness, excellent in-room bathroom, and attentive staff. I stayed in a Premium Floor View Bath Large Room with two others for one night at the end of June. The exterior does show its age, likely due to its seaside location. However, the interior, including our room and the entire facility, was impeccably clean. Besides the large public bath, our room also had a spacious and very clean private bathroom. The staff's service and demeanor were consistently polite and left a great impression. Even the international staff members were just as competent as their Japanese colleagues, reflecting high training standards. Another nice touch was the availability of toilets not just in the rooms but also throughout the building. Having two bath towels per person was also very convenient, making it easy to bathe twice, in the evening and morning. My only minor suggestions would be these three points: 1. There are only two elevators available for guests. Considering the total number of guests, this felt insufficient. While there are elevators closer to the center of the building, they are marked for staff only, and there's no explanation as to why guests can't use them. 2. I wished the showers in the public bath had stronger water pressure and more volume. 3. The dinner buffet operates in two sittings, with the second starting at 7:20 PM. However, this effectively means less time than the first sitting, and I would have appreciated being informed of this at check-in. Additionally, we were told that during peak times, we might have to dine in the lounge outside the restaurant. However, the downsides of using the lounge (e.g., the distance from the food stations to the seating, along with steps and small stairs) were not explained, making it unclear why this particular arrangement was emphasized. (While there are carts available to carry trays, they are prioritized for the elderly and those with disabilities, and their availability is limited.)

My wife and I live in Tokyo, but we decided to come here for a couple of days to enjoy the onsen. We were very surprised!! The hotel is super clean with a comfortable mattress. The breakfast did not have so many options, but it was very delicious. The soups and pizza and pasta were amazing. The onsen was great and the staff were kind. The mattress was Serta. Very comfortable!! We loved the area. The hotel is next to a big mall. T-Site, near the hotel had a large book store with coworking spaces with coffee shops. Of particular note is a coffee shop themed after the Beatles, called Penny Lane. The unique restaurants, coffee shops and drinking places In the Kashiwanohana area are amazing!!!! You can easily find great restaurants and unique coffee shops in the area. We also went to a huge park called Kashiwanohana Park. We spent a few hours there enjoying tea at the coffee shop in the park. This area is very walkable. Don’t use Google maps as it does not show the pedestrian walking paths. Ask locals. You can easily spend a couple of days on this area without walking near busy streets. Walking paths with no cars can easily get you wherever you want to go. We loved this trip!!

I felt that the service was operated as much as possible to keep the price down. I was worried about the response to the guests because the age group of the guests was high. Dinner time was late, so there were some shortages of food. The staff 々 was very kind and nice.

We had an excellent stay at Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions we had. The free shuttle service to Tokyo Disney Resort was extremely convenient and made our trip much easier. Our room was spacious, quiet, and provided a relaxing place to rest after a long day of sightseeing. We also appreciated the hotel’s great location near Shin-Urayasu Station, making it easy to travel around Tokyo. Overall, we were very impressed with the quality of service and accommodations. We highly recommend Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially families and Disney travelers. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

This place is beyond my expectations! 💯 There are indoor onsen, outdoor onsen (yes you can see airplane flight when you’re in outdoor bath), stone bath, sauna, restaurant that operates until 10:30pm and cafe bar until 11:30pm, and also a very comfy lounge with unlimited manga books to read. There are also a lot of sofa chair in the nap room or bead beds everywhere~ I will say if you visited here without booking a capsule room is also fine ~ the capsule room is gender separated and I have to say it’s more comfy that I expected! I think next time I will purposely choose to land in Narita just to experience this comfy stay again!

Wonderful cultural experience in this traditional yet nicely renovated Japanese Inn. Nice scenery from our room, delicious match tea and cookies, comfortable tatami to sleep in. nice and clean public bath, we appreciated the amenities especially the soft cotton. Areas for improvement would be the temperature and humidity, our room was too dry even with the humidifier on; would also be nice to have hand towels and children size causal kimono. Overall, we enjoyed our stay a lot, next time will try the meals.
