Fujita Kanko Opens Kisarazu Washington Hotel on Tokyo Bay in Japan

TOKYO, Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Japanese hotelier Fujita Kanko Inc. announced that it will open Kisarazu Washington Hotel on October 28th in Kisarazu City in Chiba Prefecture. The hotel will be the 26th and newest property in the company's Washington Hotel brand, a collection of modestly-priced, simple yet functional hotels located in key destinations throughout Japan.  

Kisarazu, a port city located on the Boso Peninsula east of Tokyo on Tokyo Bay, boasts easy access to key locations around Tokyo via the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, a bridge-tunnel connecting Kisarazu and Tokyo-neighboring Kawasaki. This route provides fast access to Haneda airport (approximately 30-minute drive), and Tokyo's city center (approximately 50-minute or longer drive). Public transportation also connects Kisarazu with these gateway destinations, as well as with popular leisure spots all over the Boso Peninsula, such as the 41-mile long Kujukuri Beach and others offering scenic beauty and seasonal activities surrounded by nature.    

"Our Washington Hotel brand stands for affordable comfort and convenience," said Akira Segawa, President and CEO of Fujita Kanko. "Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, Washington Hotels are situated in prime locations, and Kisarazu is a perfect addition to our current roster. Although somewhat under-rated, Chiba is a popular leisure destination for Japanese, and we want to help international visitors discover it."

The 146-room hotel is conveniently located only one minute from the Kisarazu Japan Railway (JR) station. All guest rooms feature separate toilets/bathrooms for additional comfort. The hotel facilities include a banquet room and a restaurant featuring an open kitchen that serves dishes prepared with fresh local produce and seafood from Chiba. Rack rates are 12,960 yen for single rooms and 16,200 yen for double rooms.  For more information and reservations, visit: http://kisarazu.washington-hotels.jp
