Be amazed at the beauty of the universe at National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. There's so much waiting to be explored beyond our own extraordinary world, from black holes and stars to bizarre alien planets.

This out-of-this-world attraction in Mitaka is popular with many travelers, so make sure it features on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are loads more attractions waiting for you to experience after National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. Museum of Japanese Houses, Ghibli Museum, and Yomiuriland are nearby.

1. Not enough for towels and toothbrushes for long stay. I had to wash towels and purchased toothpaste. 2. There were so many hairs and dust on the floor - I had to vacuum the whole room. 3. Laundry area - every time I used the washer, it said “clean filter” and it was very dirty. I wonder who clean those…

The hotel staff went above and beyond to help us send our luggage to our next hotel—they even accompanied us to the convenience store to get everything sorted. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant, with nice restaurants within walking distance and easy train access to more central areas. Overall, it was a comfortable and stress-free stay

Stayed 10 days in August, where temperatures were 30 to 35 degrees, each day. Air con in hotel was good and also in the rooms. Comfortable stay, breakfast albeit basic was good enough to set you up before you went out for the day. Coffee machine, also cold coffee with/without milk and anpple juice were available throughout the day, along with toiletries , razors etc. Beds are comfortable and the hotel was in quiet location, but easy access to metro station, although the hotel is part way up a hill. Shower and bathroom facilities are very good, with a blind on the outside, of the shower room. Like most Tokyo hotels the rooms can be on the small side, however me and my son, found the superior Hollywood twin room, more than adequate. Highly recommended and would stay there again
