Hotel Nikko Tachikawa Tokyo
Renovated 2015, seven minutes from JR Tachikawa
About this hotel
Hotel Nikko Tachikawa Tokyo was renovated and reopened in November 2015, and it shows: an on-site restaurant, free WiFi throughout, private parking and a 24-hour front desk sit alongside flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms fitted with a bath, slippers and free toiletries in every room. A trouser press and air purifier are available, small signs of a property built for a longer, more comfortable stay than a one-night business layover. Sitting seven minutes' walk from JR Tachikawa Station, it keeps the Chuo Line rapid into central Tokyo close while offering a bit more polish than the corridor's budget chains, a genuine middle ground between the simplest Hachioji options and Keio Plaza's four-star rate.
- On-site restaurant
- Private parking
- Air purifier
- Near JR station
Our take
This suits a family who wants Tachikawa's fast rail access with a touch more comfort, the trouser press and air purifier, than a basic business hotel offers. It's a smaller step up than Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji, but a real one for a group choosing Tachikawa as their base of operations.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant after a long Tokyo Summerland day to skip hunting for dinner.
- ✓Use private parking if driving; it's included rather than a paid add-on here.
- ✓Book ahead for school holidays given the property's renovated, higher-demand rooms.

Why guests love itThe air purifier was an unexpected comfort after a day of pollen and chlorine at Tokyo Summerland, and the on-site restaurant meant dinner was sorted without another outing. Seven minutes from JR Tachikawa Station kept things easy for a day trip into central Tokyo too, and private parking meant our rental car was one less thing to worry about during a busy week.
