Used for business trips. Almost directly connected to the station.The room and bathroom are clean.It was 6300 yen including breakfast.Breakfast is buffet style, mainly Japanese food. The disappointing point was that the eggs that were left were hot spring eggs. I also eat natto, seaweed, turnips, sausages, macaroni salad, grilled fish, miso soup, pickles, and bread. You can also drink coffee or juice.At night, there's only Aeon around, so I have no choice but to make something for dinner. There's really nothing, just rice fields (lol)I was relieved of the fatigue from my business trip.

A hotel located within Epoca 21. Although it's far from the center of Kurihara City, I often stayed there when I had a drinking party at Epoca during my first shift in Kurihara because it was convenient. There is a large public bath, pool, and sky restaurant in front, and there are not many facilities around, but I was able to complete it at Epoca.

Stayed with colleagues during a business trip to Kurihara🛏From the direction of Tsukidate, go west on National Route 398. On the way, you will see a Y-junction with a Lawson on your right. Once you cross the Tohoku Shinkansen 🚄 tracks, you will be on your left.There is only Aeon supermarket CENTER nearby, so I stayed there with dinner and breakfast included.It was my first time staying here, but the lobby and room were overall clean.Drinks are available at the soft drink vending machine on the first floor.Alcohol is sold at the front desk.The smoking area is simple and is in the front. At the entrance...Dinner is a dinner set meal at B&J KITCHEN on the top floor of Epoca 21 next door. Service beer included 🍺 There is a passageway to Epoca 21 on the 2nd floor.Drink while it's still bright and you can see Kurikoma Kogen Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen and Mt. Kurikoma, and the view is great.However, from Epoca 21, you can see all the way into the room...Breakfast was at the hotel restaurant.

It's a normal business hotel, but it's very convenient as it's right in front of the station. When you open the window, you can see rice fields all over, and it feels very local. The only amenities in the room are body soap, conditioner shampoo, and hand soap. Dinner was served at the observation restaurant in the next building, and it was interesting to be able to watch the Shinkansen trains arrive and depart from the window. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a large supermarket just a short walk away, so I was able to buy whatever I needed.
