I made a reservation to see two winter festivals in Yokote, "Kamakura" and "Bonten". Since it was during the festival period, I made a reservation through Rakuten Travel last fall. In early February, the inn called me to confirm the meals. There were three dinner courses, and I was staying for three nights, so I asked for those three to be alternated each day. I was worried that the message would be properly delivered, so I was grateful for this call. On the day, I arrived at Yokote Station from Akita Station by JR, and walked from the station, but it was only about 5 minutes away even with luggage. After completing the procedure at the front desk, I headed to my room, but for some reason this was the only place with stairs, which was the only drawback. The room was a large 15-tatami Japanese-style room with a slightly worn interior, but there was nothing particularly bothering me. Since it was a hot spring inn, there was no bath in the room, but the hot spring in the large public bath was very good so it wasn't necessary. To get to the large public bath, you have to go down to the second floor and walk down the corridor, but there is a staircase at the end. The hot spring has an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and since it is large, it seems to be empty in the morning and evening, but there are also day-trippers during the day. Guests of the adjacent "Hotel Plaza Annex Yokote" can also use the bath, and conversely, you can use the bath in the annex on the 7th floor. The biggest attraction of this hotel is the food, especially the dinner, which is more than you can eat and has delicious dishes made with locally produced ingredients. Alcohol was also reasonably priced. The breakfast was also delicious and made with locally produced ingredients, so I'm glad I chose this inn. There are only about two izakayas around the station, so you may not be able to find dinner, so if you stay at this inn, I recommend that you book a room with meals included. There is a convenience store about a two-minute walk away.
