Three Key Points for Choosing Budget Accommodations
When looking for affordable accommodations around Hitachi Seaside Park, there are three key points to keep in mind.
1. Distance to the park and access methods
In Hitachinaka City, accommodations are mainly divided into two areas: the Ajigaura and Isozaki area (a 5-10 minute drive to the park) and the Katsuta Station area (a 15-20 minute drive to the park). The Ajigaura area is close to the park, making it advantageous for early morning entry, but the options for lodging are primarily ryokans and guesthouses. On the other hand, the Katsuta Station area has many business hotels, offering a wide variety of affordable plans for those who prefer to stay without meals.
2. Availability and Fees for Parking
Many visitors to the seaside park arrive by car, so the availability of parking is important. Out of the 10 accommodations we are introducing, 9 offer free parking. The only exception is the APA Hotel, which charges a fee of 500 yen per night for parking.
3. Additional Services such as Large Public Bath and Breakfast
There are budget accommodations that offer large public baths, saunas, and complimentary breakfast buffets. In particular, the business hotels in the Katsuta Station area provide excellent value for money with their wide range of services.
