The only thing was not having much natural daylight in the room. I wasn’t there much during the day, but with frosted windows and the paper shades, I needed to use the lighting in the room.

This place is stunning! A very modern but traditional hotel with large comfortable rooms, amazing facilities and very kind and caring staff. The onsen bathing area was super clean and modern. Very useful for resting aching limbs after days out walking.

My recent stay at Waqoo Naritasan Monzen exceeded every expectation and quickly became the most memorable stop of our entire trip. Below is a detailed, candid assessment for future travelers. 1. Location Nestled halfway along Naritasan Omotesando, the hotel is a leisurely five-minute walk from both JR Narita Station / Keisei Narita Station on one end and Naritasan Shinshō-ji Temple with its landscaped park on the other. Whether you are strolling out at dawn for street-food snacks, visiting the temple precincts, or catching a same-day flight from Narita Airport, logistics are effortless. Clear signposting and a flat approach make rolling luggage to the lobby stress-free. 2. Onsen (Hot-Spring Bath) Water Quality & Cleanliness — The indoor bath is crystal-clear, odor-free, and immaculately maintained; staff wipe down wet areas and test the water several times a day. Privacy — We visited on weekday nights and found ourselves alone on almost every occasion. The experience felt like reserving an exclusive private bath without the surcharge. First-Timer Friendly — As my very first genuine onsen experience, I had no benchmark—but the thoughtful layout, perfect temperature, and post-bath relaxation left me convinced that hot-spring bathing will become a staple of future Japan trips. 3. Guest Rooms Space — Unusually generous by Japanese standards. A standard room comfortably housed three adults, two open suitcases, and still offered ample free floor space. Spotless Housekeeping — Beds, tatami mat edges, and furniture surfaces were dust-free; drawers and hangers were plentiful for multi-night stays. Comfort & Ambience — Excellent sound insulation, responsive climate controls, and a calm décor of light wood and washi accents created a subtle, almost meditative atmosphere. 4. Service and Value Front-desk staff handled check-in in flawless English, arranged stroller storage, and volunteered local dining tips.

We loved our stay at this facility. We were treated with a welcome tea and sweet, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable, spacious and the beds were lovely. We were pleasantly surprised at how big the room was. The stay was close to shops and the Temple, which was great, as we were only staying for one night and had so much to do. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Waqoonaritasanmonzen, you made our last day in Japan memorable.

We stayed here on our last 2 nights in Japan to be close to the airport for our departure. Fabulous service and lovely spacious room.. Beds were very comfortable and enjoyed the complimentary sake in our room. The location is fabulous, in the historical area of Naritasan. We will stay again on our next visit to Japan.

The position of our room was such that there was very little natural sunlight. Although the screens could be opened the frosted glass windows could not be opened and offered minimal sunlight.

The hotel is conveniently located, right in the middle of the city. Beautiful kabuki artwork throughout. The room was very clean.

Absolutely nothing negative about this property.

Absolutely loved the entire property and the traditional breakfast that was served. We were only there for one night, but I really wish we had stayed at least one more night to fully appreciate and explore the area. The staff were super friendly and even ran out into the rain to hold an umbrella over us when they noticed we were about to get in an uber.

Nothing. I booked in a rush and did not know that to secure a dinner reservation, you needed 3 days' notice. That was my oversight, though not the hotel.

I booked this hotel for easy access to Narito Airport. It turned out that the 2 days and 1 night in this hotel and the neighbourhood is the highlight of our Japan trip. It is in the middle of winding streets filled with traditional Japanese shops and is next door to the Buddhist Temple with the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. In addition, the hotel is 5 star, in every way. It has the most exquisite baths (onsen), and every detail has been considered to the utmost.

A great little hotel within striking distance of Narita airport (20 mins by taxi). The town of Narita itself is beautiful and full of great architecture and temples. We were surprised on our arrival at how pretty and nice it was. Definitely try and get there early in the afternoon if you are flying out the next morning, so you can walk the town and explore the many eating options.

No view but the room was so nice we didn’t need it.

The black silica bath was amazing and relaxing.

Great location on the main eating and shopping strip (similar to the Kyoto slopes), temple and gardens. It’s a spacious room, super clean and staff are friendly and helpful. Close to the train station. Would book again

We should have stayed longer

Beautiful rooms, and great staff

Broken glass shards found in the 'clean' room bathroom. Staff came up and removed the glass, but we found more later and just put a towel on that part of the floor for safety.

Authentic Japanese breakfast with so much to eat I was bursting. The effort put into the food was impressive. The private and separate male and female Onsens were so relaxing. Reasonable walk from the local Narita station and quiet location.

The hotel location is in the walking street, so it might not be available for car pickup in some time.

We really enjoyed our one night here. Unfortunately we arrived after 5:00 pm and had to be at the airport by 8:00 am, so we were not able to enjoy much that this town had to offer. However, the staff of the hotel were wonderful and the facilities were superb. I am also glad we decided to pay for the very expensive, but unique and absolutely beautiful Kaiseki dinner. I am definitely going to recommend this inn to my friends who are willing and able to pay a premium price for luxury.

The dining times for breakfast and dinner could be more flexible.

I loved the traditional Japanese room design with modern amenities. Staff were very helpful and professional. Location was perfect, near the temple. Not too long a taxi ride from Narita Airport. You really get immersed in Japanese culture here, and I would recommend everyone start their trip in this area before travelling to Tokyo. I travelled all over Japan and Naritas temple was one of the best ones I visited, only second to the one in Nara.

This hotel is truly amazing. Such a great expericence, staff fantastic and location is right next to the temples. The on site onsen is well worth the visit. It is not cheap however you will not be disappointed.

I chose this hotel so that I would be close to the Narita airport for my flight. One of the most beautiful temples is nearby and their gardens were exquisite. The staff was so helpful. I received a full Japanese breakfast. They also have a small onsen that I enjoyed, followed with Acupuncture and Massage in my room.

We booked at the last minute due to a flight cancellation, which meant we were unable to order dinner or breakfast (the hotel needs 48 hours notice).

The room, the staff and the onsen were lovely.

There was nothing not to like.

This hotel was excellent. It is very close to airport, 20 min by taxi, 2 stops on metro. It has a traditional Japanese feel and the staff is wonderful. Also, it’s located in a charming traditional town. If you are there on weekend, they close down the street for the community to walk. It’s lovely.
