Natural Farm City Noen Hotel (link in Japanese) lies on a southeastern hill of Chichibu City in Saitama and has fantastic views of the city and the surrounding mountains, a 180-degree panorama. The main building is pretty new and the inside very beautiful; the annex looked a bit old though. By night the view is even more stunning, and I could even enjoy it from my bathroom! The restaurant serves a great variety of foods, including Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisine, and all vegetables come from their own farm, which has also given the hotel its name. I went to visit Muse Park the next day—highly recommended!
