Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki

Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki is located right next to a major train station, and well connected via an adjacent shopping mall. Access through the mall is possible, but the main entrance is actually facing OPA Takasaki on the ground level. Lobby is on level 6. I spent 2 weeks in Japan recently, and my stay in Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki has to be one of my most memorable in the world ever! My room is specially decorated with steam locomotive wallpaper, and also comes with a whopping large 60” Sharp LCD TV, and another 43” Sony Bravia TV for projection of steam locomotive train, which relatively made the room looks rather small. The room itself was also supplemented with rail-theme furniture, and offers a great view to the rail activities underneath through the room window. I truly enjoyed sipping beer by the window and appreciating the madding crowds transiting through Takasaki station. And later in the evening, as I pulled down the blind, it gave me an impression as if staying inside a luxury train room, minus all those unnecessary vibrations caused by railway tracks. Even though Takasaki is a Shinkansen station and the hotel is just next to it, we were not troubled by the noise. In my opinion, this room, retrofitted in Oct 2016, can be merited as an attraction in Takasaki on its own, and a stay inside is genuinely a dream comes true for any rail fanatics! Truly, even if the room ain't big in size, but kudos to the hotel's creativity, they really made this room appears majestic.

We stayed here for four nights and had a very pleasant and comfortable time. The hotel is located on top of the railway station and is a bit hard to find - go to Floor 3 where the JR office is, and you will see an entrance with the name Metropolitan Hotel at the eastern entrance. Take the lift to the sixth floor, There is also an entrance at street level on the east side. The hotel lobby has a grand piano playing itself and is eerily quiet - think lost in translation. The room on the 10th floor was quite spacious, compared to another I saw on the 7th floor. A good range of toiletries, PJs etc, kettle and tea and coffee, and a fridge. A good central location with many restaurants in the station and surroundings. Most however don't have an english menu, or english speaking staff which made for interesting random selections. Takasaki itself has little to offer of interest to tourists. A grid network of haphazard buildings some nice designs, some awful. The castle ruins, moat and gardens near the city hall are nice to walk around, and the views from the top of the city hall are reputed to be beautiful on a clear day. We did a day trip to Haruna Shrine in the mountains which was well worth the trip. The number 2 bus starts outside the railway station, on the west side. Enter the bus through the middle door, pay the fare on exit Y1100; change is available from the machine. You can't miss the stop in Haruna village. Enjoy.
