Hotel Plaza Annex Yokote — Hotel in Yokote

We stayed here during the Kamakura festival. Very well located near the train station. If you want the onsen experience with a mixed sex couple or family group, they have a ‘kashikiri’ (private bath) that can be booked by the hour for a small fee. See reception and they’ll let you know the available times. The charge will be added to your room. It was a very nice, small onsen with a view (through steamy windows) of town.||We had a regular double room which was very comfortable - large by Japan standards.

Everytime I come to Yokote, I always check availability at Annex...

New and clean. Friendly service. Quite new. Large rooms. Free parking. Superb value as a stopover if you’re on a road trip between Miyagi and Akita prefectures!!

Great view of the city at the top floor restaurant/cafe.

For the big Onsens — the one at the ground floor is larger but older; the one at the top floor is tiny (but sufficient) but newer and cleaner. You can also book a hot bedrock bath with radium.

If you stay here, you are also eligible to discounts at several restaurants/izakayas in the same building complex (as of Nov’19) — so you don’t really need to walk/drive out if you’re tired at night. The restaurants are new, offering local ingredients, with...
