Tsuchiura

A laidback hotel in downtown Tsuchiura. It's situated above a train station and has a cool, industrial vibe that matches the biking theme; in some rooms you can hang up your bike! The decor is fresh and modern, and there's a 24-hour cafe and lounge. A hotspot for cyclists and the young at heart.
