Experience of the stay
Staying at "1955 Tokyo Bay by Hoshino Resorts" was an incredible experience. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like I had time-traveled back to 1955 America, around the time when Disneyland was just born! The design and services in the hotel reflect the unique culture of that era, and I thoroughly enjoyed the world view encapsulated in "OLDIES GOODIES."
I truly felt that this hotel supports your journey to the theme park. They offer a complimentary shuttle bus to the park and provide luggage storage service, allowing me to maximize my enjoyment of the park. There was also convenient transportation to Shin-Urayasu Station.
All guest rooms require you to take off your shoes upon entering, and they come equipped with a washing area in the bathroom, spacious enough for families and groups to comfortably spend time together.
One particularly convenient feature is the "2nd Room," a public space. This area can be used freely from 5 AM during pre-check-in to 3 PM after checkout, allowing visitors to prepare themselves or gather for light snacks while enjoying an international ambiance, making it feel like a second living room—extremely comfortable!
The hotel also has a convenience store (Lawson) on-site, making it easy for quick shopping. There’s also a coin laundry with ten washing machines and dryers each, which provides peace of mind for long stays or families with children. Cafes, lounges, and restaurants are also available.
Overall, thanks to the comfortable service and the old American ambiance, I had a joyful and memorable time!
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Urayasu City Museum and was surprised that the admission fee is free all year round!
It's a three-story building with the first floor as a thematic exhibition room, the second floor as a planned exhibition room, and the basement for outdoor exhibitions. In the thematic exhibition room on the first floor, I was able to deeply learn about Urayasu's history as a thriving fishing town. There’s a story about how a river was created to transport salt from Gyotoku to Edo, and how Urayasu flourished along the way, showcasing the "Urayasu Spirit" where the local people have always actively embraced new things, enriching their lives not only through fishing but also with various techniques such as seaweed cultivation. There were dioramas and displays of fishing tools from the time, as well as tanks with fish swimming from the Urayasu sea and rivers, making it feel like an aquarium. The audio guide in Urayasu dialect was also interesting.
The biggest attraction of this museum is undoubtedly the outdoor exhibition area "Urayasu Town." It recreates the lively streets of Urayasu around 1952, allowing visitors to actually enter the buildings. There are authentic representations of shops such as a tempura restaurant "Tentetsu," a tobacco shop, and a fish shop, showing great attention to detail. The path paved with shells produces pleasant sounds as you walk, adding to the immersive experience. Children were freely playing with old toys (such as kendama and beyblade), making it very lively.
Right next to the outdoor exhibition area is the "Boat Exhibition Room," where various wooden boats and shipbuilding tools were on display. The "Tōan-bune" (casting net boat) was particularly large, and you could imagine the scene of customers being served fish on the boat back in the day.
It's recommended before and after your hotel stay!
