Experience of the stay
One day, I thought about visiting Hitachi Seaside Park. Although I live in the Kanto region, I felt that it would be nice to stay somewhere overnight after visiting the park, so I booked this hotel in Tsuchiura.
As I came down from the Tsuchiura Station ticket gate, I could see the BEB5 Tsuchiura sign right in front of me. Since it is located inside the station, it was easy to move around even on a rainy day. Being so close to the station allowed me to enjoy my room until the last possible moment before check-out.
Amenities are located near the reception, so you grab what you need.
After checking in, I took the elevator to the fourth-floor room where I stayed. On the fourth floor, there are washers, vending machines, and ice machines. Since you can also stay here with bicycles, there were bicycle tools available on the same floor. The overall atmosphere was warm with orange lighting, making it a very quiet space.
Using the room key, I entered my room where to the right was a separate toilet and next to it was the bathroom. The washbasin was outside the bathroom. There wasn't a changing area, and there was a large window facing the front where the city hall and facilities were, so it was necessary to be cautious about the curtain.
The bed was so comfortable that it felt too big for one person. I could adjust the lighting in the room to my liking, and there were more than three outlets around the bed, near the window, the sofa, and under the television, providing convenience.
For dinner, I bought some groceries from the supermarket right in front and spent a relaxing time watching TV and observing the people outside.
The next day, I took a stroll to the places I wanted to visit. Since I checked out earlier, I left my luggage at the hotel and visited some souvenir shops.
Returning to the hotel, I relaxed a bit before checking out.
Being able to explore the area without the burden of carrying my bags was a unique advantage of staying at a hotel, and it was possible because of the hotel's convenient location near the station.
It was my first solo trip. The staff were kind and provided attentive service. Although it is simple, I felt it was a perfect accommodation for those who want to travel alone without any worries.
The lobby had board games and other amenities.
I would love to return to this hotel when I am in the area again.
Experiences during the trip
Before checking into the hotel, I visited Hitachi Seaside Park. Although I live in the Kanto region, I had never been there and felt that it was a bit too far for a day trip. However, I thought I could relax if I stayed at a hotel, so I made a reservation.
I took a leisurely stroll through Hitachi Seaside Park. The weather was drizzly at times, but it didn't dampen my experience, and I was able to explore the park without any complications. The hill where I wanted to see the nemophila was at the far end of the park. Although it was not at its peak bloom, because I went a little earlier than the busy season, it wasn't too crowded, and I was able to enjoy the park at my own pace. I recommend going to Hitachi Seaside Park just before the busy season.
The day after my stay at the hotel, I took a lovely walk to a café I had found while researching places in Tsuchiura, only a 15-minute walk from Tsuchiura Station. I went to 【Joto Tea Shop】 for breakfast. Since it was a nice day, I enjoyed a pleasant morning walk, had breakfast, and bought some souvenirs before heading home. It was a very fulfilling first solo trip! I feel that it was made possible because I used HafH. I still vividly remember how enriching this trip was.
