Experience of the stay
This was the first hotel I used after joining HafH. Thanks to the registered personal information, check-in was smooth. A staff member accompanied me for machine operations, making the check-in process easy.
Also, I received a free upgrade, and I was able to relax so much that my fatigue from transferring trains from Haneda and the anxiety of traveling alone disappeared.
The bath in my room was clean and comfortable😊 It was separate from the toilet, so I could fill the tub and soak leisurely.
Although it was raining at night, I was loaned an umbrella and was able to explore Utsunomiya City.
The designated smoking area in the hotel was under maintenance, but they told me about several nearby smoking areas.
Best of all, it was close to the station yet in a quiet environment with little car traffic. There was also a convenience store nearby. I didn't include breakfast this time, but stores around the station open from just after 6 AM, so a cafe was enough.
If I have the opportunity to go to Utsunomiya again, I would genuinely like to stay here, not just out of courtesy.
I stayed at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel for the first time and became interested in others in the same chain.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome this time.
Experiences during the trip
I only had the evening of the first day for sightseeing, so I explored around Utsunomiya Station.
At the west exit of the station, there is a gyoza monument, and I walked towards Gyoza Street along the main street with my back to the west exit, passing by famous gyoza restaurants. I also headed towards a shrine.
I was looking forward to it because I was collecting goshuin (shrine stamps), but although it was supposed to be open until 4 PM, the shrine office was closed that day... So sad.
Everything can be found at the souvenir shops inside the station.
It seems that lemon milk is famous here. I usually dislike milk, but after buying one and trying it, it was really delicious!🤣 It tasted more like refreshing yogurt than milk.
