Hotels near Hikawa Shrine, Saitama City

We knew the hotel was near the train station but didn't know how close it was! The building it was in and around it had many food options with a really delicious bakery on the 2nd floor. Not far from the Cocoon City Mall and the Saitama Super Arena, it has easy access to travel within and outside of the Saitama area. We were lucky enough to catch the Art Aquarium Exhibit at the arena which was a delightful treat. The hotel staff were courteous and attentive and the rooms were comfortable with all the necessities for our group. Would definitely recommend and return whenever we want to visit Saitama or Tokyo again!

The location is great just a few steps from the train station, and nearby a big mall ”AEON”. The self check-in and check-out, laundry machine, amenities, free coffee/tea and breakfast, and the room itself is perfect. This will be my choice again next time if I come back to this area.

The bed was a bit firm, but it wasn't much of a problem for sleeping there. I thought it was great that breakfast was included for free, and you could eat it on the first floor or in your room.

The hotel is strategically located, just a stone's throw away from JR. The room is small but well-equipped, and the breakfast selection and taste are also very good. The only drawback is that the price almost doubled during the ice show.

Every time I visit Japan, no matter where I go first, my last stop is always Tokyo. And when I'm in Tokyo, Urawa Pines Hotel is my absolute top choice. While it's located at Urawa Station in Saitama Prefecture, it's incredibly close to Tokyo, and the transportation is unbelievably convenient. Let me elaborate: * **To Ueno or Tokyo:** No transfers needed, and you can take a rapid train. * **To Ikebukuro or Shinjuku:** Again, no transfers, and a rapid train gets you there quickly. * **To Karuizawa:** Just hop on the Shinkansen at Omiya Station. * **To Yokohama:** Direct train, no transfers. You can even get directly to Odawara and Atami. Besides the convenient transportation, the shopping is also a big draw, with Isetan and PARCO right at the station exit. The small street leading to the hotel is a bustling food street, full of delicious options. But the best part, ultimately, is the hotel itself. The rooms are spacious, bright, comfortable, and cozy. Even the smaller rooms are 24 square meters, and the larger ones are 32 square meters – which is almost unbelievable in Japan, where space is at such a premium. What's even more surprising is the price. For anyone doing a self-guided tour of Japan, Urawa Pines Hotel should be your first choice. Highly, highly recommend it!!!

I stayed at this hotel at the end of November 2025. It was conveniently located, clean, quiet, and had a delicious and varied breakfast. The only issue was the strange, long pillow made of some kind of tubes, which made sleeping very unusual. The location is excellent, and I'd especially like to point out that it's within walking distance of Omiya Station, a Shinkansen stop. Along the way from the subway/trains, or rather, from the station, there are many convenient stores, as well as the huge Lumine shopping mall. By the way, it's a great place if you want to be close to Tokyo and also be practically the only tourist in the city (that's the impression I got). Thank you for a wonderful stay, I recommend it.

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.

I am so impressed with this hotel! From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was attracted by the elegant environment and enthusiastic staff. The room is spacious and bright, and the furniture and furnishings are very exquisite, making people feel very comfortable. The bedding and toiletries are all high-quality products, which made me feel like home. The location of the hotel is also very convenient. It is very close to attractions and commercial areas and can be reached on foot. In addition, the hotel also provides a variety of breakfast options, which taste delicious. The waiters are kind and friendly and will take the initiative to help you solve your problems, which makes you feel very comfortable. In short, this hotel is first-class in terms of hardware facilities and service quality. I will highly recommend it to my friends and family. Next time I come here, I will choose this hotel again!

The place was clean. Everything was well-organized. Properly instructed about how to get the key and appreciate the guest/s registration and they prioritize the safety of their guest/s. Very convenient and accommodating especially for our last minute booking for our Obaachan’s funeral. Arigatogozaimuch 🙏🏼

There is a large shopping mall nearby, and it is also close to Omiya Station. It is convenient to go to Omiya Park and the Railway Museum. The breakfast is very good, the facilities are relatively old, but I personally think it's okay.
