“How far is Toyoko Inn Shizuoka-eki Kita-guchi from the station?” “What do Mikawa-anjo and Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi cost?” — anyone searching by property name wants two things about that one hotel: how to get there, and what they will actually pay. The short answer: all 10 of the popular properties checked here are within a six-minute walk of their nearest station (access as published on the official site, as of September 2026), and OTA published rates sit in a band of roughly ¥9,600–¥14,200 a night on average for two guests in one room, tax included. Every one of them includes free breakfast, with check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 10:00 (confirmed on each property’s official page, as of September 2026). This article lists the published rates and walking minutes for the 10 most-searched properties, then sets out how to choose between them by use case.
- — All 10 properties checked here are a 1–6 minute walk from the nearest station. Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi is one minute and Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi two, followed by Mikawa-anjo, Kadoma and Odawara at three (each property’s official page, as of September 2026).
- — OTA published rates (one room, two guests, incl. tax) run ¥9,582–¥14,150 a night, averaging ¥11,086 across the 10 properties. Pick your dates and listings in the ¥6,600–¥7,600 range turn up too (stay dates 14 September–14 October 2026, N=13,948 plans).
- — Between weekdays (Mon–Fri) and weekends (Sat–Sun), weekends run +12.1%. The largest gaps are at Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi (+25.5%) and Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae (+17.7%), while Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi (+4.2%) tracks close to its weekday level.
- — All 10 properties include free breakfast, served 6:30–9:00. Shizuoka-eki Kita-guchi serves filled-onigiri-style rice balls made with Shizuoka-grown Koshihikari, and Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae puts out bread and coffee from 6:00 (official pages, as of September 2026).
- — Check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 10:00 are the same at all 10. With no breakfast charge to add on, the published rate in the table is close to what a night actually costs.
What Toyoko Inn Is — A Chain Built on Station-Front Sites and Free Breakfast
Toyoko Inn (東横イン / 東横INN) is a limited-service hotel chain built mainly around station fronts nationwide. Across the 261 Japanese properties and 401,210 guest reviews aggregated by the HotelBank Editorial Team (cumulative, as of September 2026), the overall average is 4.06 out of 5. By category, staff score 4.27 (N=259 properties), cleanliness 4.21 (N=258) and location 4.20 (N=261) — service, housekeeping and station-front location are consistently the strong three. Getting the same standard of service in any city is what keeps business travellers coming back.
At Toyoko Inn Naha Kokusai-dori Miebashi-eki, one of the highest-rated properties in the chain (4.37 overall across 844 rated reviews in the past 24 months), comments run along the lines of “right by the station, the location is perfect”, “the front desk staff were extremely kind” and “the breakfast is unbeatable value” (drawn by the HotelBank Editorial Team from the 333 reviews of that property in the past 24 months that carried written text, as of September 2026; the 844 above is the number of reviews over the same 24 months with a rating score, of which 333 had text to analyse). Proximity to the station, the front desk and free breakfast — the same three axes apply to the 10 properties below.
The 10 Most-Searched Properties — Published Rates and Walking Minutes
For the 10 properties searched most often by name, OTA published rates (one room, two guests, incl. tax) were aggregated for stay dates from 14 September to 14 October 2026. Access is given exactly as the walking time published on each property’s official page (all as of September 2026).

* OTA published rates (one room, two guests, incl. tax). Aggregated from N=13,948 publicly listed stay plans for stay dates from 14 September to 14 October 2026 (as of 12 September 2026, HotelBank Editorial Team). The rate on the actual booking screen varies by date and plan. Mikawa-anjo has two properties either side of the station, Shinkansen Minami-guchi No.1 and No.2; the table uses the figures for No.1.
Across the 10, a one-month average that includes weekdays comes to roughly ¥10,000 a night (one room, two guests, incl. tax), and picking your dates turns up listings in the ¥6,600–¥7,600 range. Every rate in the table is based on two guests in one room, and single occupancy is priced on a different structure — so if your party size is fixed, the reliable check is to enter it on each property’s booking screen.
By Day of Week, Weekends Run +12.1% — and the Gap Varies by Property
Splitting the same period into weekdays (Mon–Fri) and weekends (Sat–Sun), the largest gaps are at Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi (+25.5%), Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae (+17.7%) and Shizuoka-eki Kita-guchi (+15.8%), while Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi (+4.2%), Iwakuni-eki Nishi-guchi (+7.5%) and Mikawa-anjo-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi No.1 (+7.7%) track close to their weekday levels. If you are staying on a weekend, the bigger the gap the more booking early widens your choice; if your dates can move, shifting to the weekday side finds the same property around 10% lower.
| Property | Weekdays (Mon–Fri) | Weekends (Sat–Sun) | Weekend gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyoko Inn Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi | ¥10,368 | ¥13,009 | +25.5% |
| Toyoko Inn Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae | ¥9,542 | ¥11,228 | +17.7% |

| Toyoko Inn Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi | ¥11,151 | ¥11,615 | +4.2% |
* Combining the 10 properties, weekdays average ¥10,753 against ¥12,054 at weekends — weekends +12.1%. Excluding the five-day Silver Week holiday (19–23 September 2026) from the aggregation still gives +11.8%, so the same pattern holds in ordinary weeks once the holiday effect is stripped out (OTA published rates, one room / two guests, incl. tax; as of 12 September 2026, HotelBank Editorial Team).
How to Choose — Shinkansen Exits, City Station Fronts and Regional Hubs
If You Want the Shinkansen Gate on Your Doorstep
Himeji-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi (one minute from the Shinkansen gates), Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi (two minutes), Mikawa-anjo-eki Shinkansen Minami-guchi No.1 (three minutes) and Odawara-eki Higashi-guchi (three minutes from JR Odawara Station, seven from the Shinkansen gate) are the picks here. On a business trip timed around the first or last Shinkansen of the day, those saved minutes convert straight into sleep.
If You Want a City Station-Front Base
Tokyo Omori (six minutes from Omori Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, with direct trains towards Shinagawa and Tokyo), Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae (where the Keihan Main Line meets the monorail) and Ebina-eki Higashi-guchi (two lines, Odakyu and Sotetsu) are the easy ones to work from. All reach several lines or major roads, which suits a trip with sites spread across a city, or a multi-night stay on a quieter base than the centre.
If You Want a Regional Hub City
Shizuoka-eki Kita-guchi, Shizuoka Shimizu Ekimae and Iwakuni-eki Nishi-guchi sit in front of prefectural-capital-class stations or at the gateway to a sightseeing area, and work well as a base. Shizuoka-eki Kita-guchi serves a free “filled-onigiri-style breakfast” made with Shizuoka-grown Koshihikari rice (official page, as of September 2026) — the local colour of the breakfast is part of the choice. The other nine serve a free buffet-style breakfast (6:30–9:00), and Osaka Kadoma-shi Ekimae puts out bread and coffee from 6:00. The network is still growing, too: Toyoko Inn Tsukuba-eki (217 rooms) opened in September 2026, and a write-up of that opening sets it out against published figures (innippon, in Japanese).

Methodology and Sources
■ Data sources
Published rates are the averages and lowest rates aggregated by property from N=13,948 publicly listed OTA stay plans (one room, two guests, incl. tax) for stay dates from 14 September to 14 October 2026 (as of 12 September 2026, HotelBank Editorial Team). The review figures come from the HotelBank Editorial Team’s aggregation of 401,210 guest reviews across 261 Toyoko Inn properties in Japan (cumulative, as of September 2026), and from analysis of the past 24 months of reviews for Toyoko Inn Naha Kokusai-dori Miebashi-eki (844 reviews for the rating scores, 333 for the text analysis). Access, breakfast and check-in times were confirmed property by property on each official page listed below (as of September 2026).
■ Calculation assumptions
“Average published rate” in Table 1 is the simple mean of the daily rates across the 31 nights covered; “Lowest rate” is the lowest of the daily minimums over the same period. Table 2 splits the same period and the same rate basis into two day-of-week bands and averages each: weekdays = Mon–Fri (N=23 nights), weekends = Sat–Sun (N=8 nights; Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi observed on 7). The “weekend gap” is (weekend average ÷ weekday average − 1). Mikawa-anjo has two properties either side of the station, Shinkansen Minami-guchi No.1 and No.2; this article uses the figures for No.1.
■ Limitations and caveats
Published rates are the level of the plans publicly listed at the time of aggregation; the rate on the actual booking screen varies by date, plan and remaining availability. The rate basis is two guests in one room, so single-occupancy pricing follows a different structure. The aggregation period includes the five-day Silver Week holiday (19–23 September 2026), and because 21–23 September fall on weekday days of the week they lift the weekday average slightly. Re-running the aggregation without those five days still gives a weekend gap of +11.8% (against +12.1% before exclusion), confirming the same pattern in ordinary weeks. Review rating scores have a denominator that changes with the aggregation period, so the period and the number of reviews are stated each time they appear in the text.
