Iruma Daiichi Hotel ranks #5 on our list of hotels near Belluna Dome — the furthest option, at roughly 20–30 minutes to the dome by train with a transfer. In exchange for the longest commute on our list, you get one of the lowest price points and, in the renovated main building, genuinely comfortable rooms with Simmons beds and modern tankless toilets. One guest specifically noted that despite the compact size, the renovated room felt clean and comfortable for a concert stopover. If price matters more to you than proximity, this is worth a look — just budget extra travel time on event day.

Key hotel facts for international guests
Room size: not published officially; renovated main-building rooms feature Simmons beds and modern tankless toilets (official site).
Public bath: none found — guests use the in-room bath.
Parking: free, up to 50 cars, first-come basis. Public reports suggest it can fill up by around 18:00 on busy days.
Airport access: no direct hotel-area airport bus found; the nearest confirmed option is the Tokorozawa Station bus route used by the hotels above, which requires an additional train connection from Iruma-shi Station and was not independently timed door-to-door for this specific hotel.
English support: not confirmed on the official site.
Sourced from the hotel’s official site (checked August 2026); several details (room size, English support) could not be confirmed and are flagged here rather than guessed. The hotel has both a renovated main building and an older, all-smoking annex — ask specifically for a main-building room when booking if a modern, non-smoking room matters to you.
Location and actual walking difficulty
The hotel is about 9 minutes’ walk from Iruma-shi Station South Exit. To reach Belluna Dome: a transfer at Nishi-Tokorozawa onto the Seibu Sayama Line, roughly 20–30 minutes of travel in total — the longest commute of the five hotels we reviewed near this venue. Several guests, on different review sites, mentioned that the walk from Iruma-shi Station includes an uphill stretch, which felt longer in the rain or with luggage.
Room size and luggage space
Room dimensions are not published officially. One guest specifically noted that despite the compact size, the renovated room felt clean and genuinely comfortable for a concert stopover.
Bed size and comfort for tall travelers
Renovated main-building rooms use Simmons beds, but specific widths were not published. If bed size matters, it’s worth checking directly with the hotel and specifically requesting the renovated main building rather than the older annex.
Bathroom and room facilities
The in-room unit bath has a noticeably high step getting in, which a couple of guests found awkward — worth noting if you’re traveling with older family members. Renovated main-building rooms have modern tankless toilets. There is no public bath.
English support
English support is not confirmed on the official site. If you don’t speak Japanese, it may be worth having key requests written out in advance.
Breakfast and dietary options
Breakfast offers a choice of Japanese or Western set, served in the new building’s 1F restaurant. It scores 3.29/5 in our editorial rating, the lowest of the categories we tracked for this hotel — it’s available but not a particular highlight. We did not find specific information about vegetarian, vegan, or halal options.
Airport access
We did not find a direct airport bus from this hotel’s immediate area. The nearest confirmed option is the Tokorozawa Station bus route used by the other hotels on this list, but that requires an additional train connection from Iruma-shi Station first, and we did not independently time this route door-to-door for this specific hotel.
Tattoo and public bath policy
Not a factor here — no public bath was found, so guests use the in-room bath instead.
Luggage storage and delivery
We were not able to confirm luggage storage policy for this specific property either way.
Laundry
We did not find confirmed information about coin laundry availability at this property.
Common complaints from previous guests
- Several guests, on different review sites, mentioned that the walk from Iruma-shi Station includes an uphill stretch, which felt longer in the rain or with luggage.
- Pack a backpack rather than a rolling suitcase if you can, and bring a compact umbrella for the walk. Since the dome itself also requires a transfer from here, budget extra time on the way out.
- The in-room unit bath has a noticeably high step getting in, which a couple of guests found awkward.
- Step in slowly and hold the wall or door frame, especially if traveling with older family members. If you’d rather avoid it entirely, ask about the room layout when booking.
- A couple of guests mentioned unstable Wi-Fi that required repeated reconnecting.
- Keep mobile data as a backup if you need reliable internet access, and ask at check-in whether your room has a wired LAN connection.
The quotes below are a summary of review trends and may not reflect the current situation.
“Booked this for a nearby concert — compact rooms, but clean and genuinely comfortable.” / “Handy distance from the station, a choice of breakfast styles, and a comfortable room overall — the front desk staff were consistently polite and helpful.”
What the booking sites don’t clearly explain
The lower price here reflects a real distance trade-off: this hotel needs both a walk with an uphill stretch and a train transfer to reach the dome, roughly 20–30 minutes total, the longest of any hotel on our list. It’s also worth knowing the property has both a renovated main building and an older, all-smoking annex, so specify the main building when booking if a modern non-smoking room matters to you. Free parking is first-come and can fill up by around 18:00 on busy days, so don’t count on it being available if you arrive late.
Who should avoid this hotel
- Travelers who want to minimize travel time to Belluna Dome
- Guests with mobility concerns who’d struggle with a high bathtub step or an uphill station walk
- Anyone who needs guaranteed reliable Wi-Fi
