If there is a festival there there is unlikely to be any cheap accommodation still available in the area. Chichbu is perfectly possible to visit as a daytrip from Tokyo though- do you absolutely have to stay in the area itself?
It is 90 mins from Seibu Ikebukuro station in Tokyo to Seibu Chichibu station by express train.
Or you can stay in somewhere like Tokorozawa which is a bit closer but unlikely to be booked out.
You can't sleep in trains as other than reserved overnight long-distance trains most lines stop around midnight.

Ordinarily, a day trip to Chichibu is entirely doable, but during the Chichibu Yomatsuri the trains will be packed. You won't be likely to even be sitting on the trains, let alone sleeping.

How far is it actually? I mean chichibu to tokyo?
haha, so i guess they don't let people sleep on trains like they do in Europe...
If we decide to stay up all night, will we have someplace to go? or things to do? When does the JR open up again in the morning?
Thanks!

How far is it actually? I mean chichibu to tokyo?How to access Chichibu: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6552.htmlso i guess they don't let people sleep on trains like they do in Europe...Not after the train arrived at its terminal station. If we decide to stay up all night, will we have someplace to go?I don't think there is much to do or to go to in Chichibu, which is a small mountain town. You will just freeze to death. Tokyo and other large cities are a different story, of course. When does the JR open up again in the morning?The first train by Chichibu Railways departs Chichibu at 5am. Seibu Railways at 5:01am.
