Toyoko Inn Kitakami Station Shinkan Line in Kitakami

All the staff were very polite and attentive, which made my stay very pleasant!

The hotel was clean and the included breakfast was a nice bonus!

Parking was also free.

I would definitely like to stay here again when I travel to the Tohoku region.

It was conveniently located near the station. I was able to choose the amenities I needed, and the breakfast buffet was available from early morning with a decent variety, which I appreciated.

I used this hotel for business this time.

It's located right in front of the station, making it very easy to find. There's a Lawson convenience store within walking distance, which was very convenient.

There aren't many restaurants nearby, so those who prefer eating out might find it a little inconvenient, but it should be fine for those who are content with eating at the hotel or buying convenience store food.

True to the Toyoko Inn chain, the location is excellent, and it is nice that they offer a free breakfast. (There are various options available in addition to what is shown in the photos.) You must use the underground passage to get to JR Station. Bars and other establishments were located near the JR Station.

There is also a shuttle bus from Hanamaki Airport.

Good points:
The staff are polite.
Free curry rice at night.
You can take as many amenities as you like.
Bad points:
The walls are thin, and you can hear voices, coughs, and sounds of daily life like hair dryers from the next room.
The worst is snoring.
If you get unlucky with the next room, you won't be able to sleep at night.

2024/04 consecutive night revisit
Apart from the access to the bar district, this is a very comfortable hotel. This time, for the first time, when I checked in, I was informed of the curry dinner. The curry was delicious and so was the breakfast.

2024/03 Return visit for consecutive nights
I was finally able to eat curry. There is no specific signage, but at breakfast time, if you go to the counter where the dishes are lined up and ask for curry, it will be served to you right away. It seems possible to just get food. The curry was delicious and similar to what you would eat at home.
I want to visit again!

2024/03 visit
I always choose a different hotel when staying in Kitakami, but when I stayed at Toyoko Inn for the first time in a while in a different prefecture, it was very comfortable, so I stayed here this time.
The self-check-in machine is very convenient and check-in is completed smoothly. I stayed on a weekday, but since I arrived late, I only smelled the aroma of the curry. I definitely want to try it next time.
There are two elevators, so the waiting time is likely to be short. The room was like a typical Toyoko Inn room. I was very grateful that there was an extension outlet near the bedside, which allowed me to use two outlets and USB type A and C. Breakfast was even more delicious than I expected, with three types of soup: pork soup, corn soup, and wontons, perfect for soup lovers.
In addition to white rice, there was also seasoned rice, as well as a variety of vegetables and side dishes, so I was very satisfied. From now on, I would like to mainly use this hotel when staying in Kitakami.
