Hotel 2-Star di Saitama Prefecture, Japan

Our stay at Hotel Green Core was absolutely exceptional from start to finish! If you are traveling with a family, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Here is why we loved it so much: - Incredibly Kid-Friendly: Traveling with young kids (a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old) can be challenging, but this hotel made everything so smooth and relaxing for us. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and they really understand how to accommodate families. -Spotlessly Clean: Cleanliness is always my top priority, and this place exceeded all expectations. The rooms and common areas were perfectly maintained and immaculate, which gave me such peace of mind. -Flawless Experience: Literally everything was good. The service, the comfort, the attention to detail—it was all just perfect and well thought out. We had a wonderful time here and it made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. A true 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!

Quiet remote location, great for a getaway from busy Tokyo, only 2.5h by train, then a 20min local cab ride. A bit rustic but surprisingly modern amenities. Only caveat is the spotty WiFi from from some cabin. Good night sky visibility from the viewing platform, provided someone didn't turn on the unused restaurant light (someone did when I was taking photos and messed up my shots). Reminiscent of the weekend chalet in East Coast Singapore, where people come mostly for BBQ.

Hotel Room was clean and spacious. Fittings were modern and gave an overall comfy vibe. The shower and toilet were slightly larger than regular hotels. The only downside was the hotel’s breakfast hours, we skipped it even though it was part of the accommodation plan as it was too early and the operating hours were too short. We were given a welcome drink voucher and there was a coffee/tea/cocoa beverage machine that was free to access in the lobby.

At the price, it is a high Cp value. It is natural to see an oasis in the countryside. In addition to the facilities, it is very old, but there are some. There is also a YouTube laundry room. The restaurant also has a focus on providing bathrobes. Water dispenser vending machine. Shampoo and hair care. The bath milk is also available. The attitude of the service staff is comparable to a five-star hotel. The disadvantage is that it is old and small.

The scene witnessed the national football 0:7 Japan, if you want to go to the Saitama 2002 stadium to participate in the event, this hotel is a very good choice, it is too close

The hotel provided an exceptional experience during our week-long stay. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring all our needs were met. The daily dinners were a delightful surprise, offering variety and quality. The room was clean, and the hot spring was relaxing. Everything we needed was readily available.

I stayed here for the first time for work the other day. It was my first time staying at this type of accommodation, so I was honestly a little worried, but the hotel staff were wonderful!✨The hotel was also very clean and I liked it so much that I booked another day to stay there again. It was a weekday so it was empty, which was great for me. If it weren't for work, I could have taken my time, but...it's a shame that I only stayed there for the time being. If I had the time, I would have liked to stay several nights, just on weekdays (I don't like noisy places), and explore the area. Anyway, I took some photos so I hope you'll find them useful.

It was about a 5-minute walk from the station, and there was a convenience store nearby, which was very convenient. I arrived late at night, but I was able to check in at the front desk. I checked out myself when I left. There is also a large public bath on the top floor. It was open until 11 PM, so I used it from 6 AM the next morning. The breakfast was also delicious.

It was a beautiful hotel close to the station. I asked because there was a guide that I could book a breakfast buffet at check-in. It was a pity that there was no fruit because it was a two-part system, and it was a pity that there was no fruit because it was in the latter half, but I think it is good for 500 yen with rice, bread, salad and side dishes. The room is not so large but clean and you can also use a large communal bath on another floor. (I didn't use it because I personally don't like it, but my husband seems to be satisfied.) I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

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.
