It's quite close to the station. The room I stayed in this time can also see the station platform. The view is beautiful. Moreover, there is a smoking area in the alley outside the lobby. If you are not traveling alone, you cannot enjoy respiratory therapy in the room. At this time, the smoking area outside is very important. I have stayed in more than a dozen Toyoko hotels and I have only seen this one in Ichinoseki. If there are some, why not others?

When traveling to Hiraizumi,Premium twin room non-smoking,I stayed one night with my daughter.At an unfortunate time, heavy rain has hit Tohoku...Available on Friday, the day before the September holidays.In Iwate, apart from the Shizukuishi golf course,Totally my first visit.The reason why I booked this is1. Location, just a short walk from Ichinoseki Station2. Another review said that Toyoko Inn's service is consistent (I have never used Toyoko Inn before)3. Because my daughter has trouble sleeping, I was able to reserve a non-smoking twin room instead of a single bed.~These three points were the deciding factors.When I went there,cold rain,This is a new place for me, as I have no familiarity with the area.Moreover, it is pitch dark at night (⁠+⁠_⁠+⁠)Because of the situation,The thing that is near the station isI was very grateful(⁠^⁠^⁠)By the way, from trains and Shinkansen,You can see the signboard.(Toyoko Inn, I live in Kanagawa,I had an image of the Tokyo-Yokohama line.Two years ago, when I went to Tennoji Zoo in Osaka, I saw a hippopotamus bathing in the water.Toyoko Inn is built...lolIt's a national brand!)Actually, at first,When I looked at several hotel search sites,Only double rooms with queen bedsThere are no non-smoking rooms available.With my child, who has a really bad sleeping position,We can't sleep together in a small bed😰And the forecast is for rain,I was planning to postpone the trip.Maybe it's because it's before the holidays, but even on Friday,Other hotels near the station are similarlyTwin non-smoking, empty room😓However, just to be sure,When you visit the hotel's official reservation site...Oh my God!A non-smoking premium twin room.Only one available \⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠/Did you have to cancel suddenly?I'm not sure, butFeeling destiny, I made a reservation immediately.Maybe,Could it be the guidance of the Buddha of Chusonji?If you use a hotel search site,Even if the twin rooms are fully booked or the non-smoking rooms are full,If you are using the official hotel reservation site,There are some empty slots available.Don't give up, give it a try,I recommend it.Please see below for more detailed impressions.1. Anyway, the location near the station is good.Even if it's raining or pitch black at night, you don't have to wander around with your suitcase.For dinner, there are several highly rated restaurants at the hotel, and you can return to your room immediately after eating.Because one house was reserved,We went to a ramen shop.The tsukemen is piping hot and delicious♥Perfect for a cold rainy autumn night.Is it possible to take it back to the hotel?Also, the return Shinkansen reservation isIt was after 7pm, soYou can adjust the time in the hotel lobby.It really helped (⁠^⁠^⁠)It was a rainy and suddenly cold day, soEven just this,I'm glad I stayed here! I thought so 😊⚠️However, the convenience store is a little far away.I thought that if I only had tsukemen, I wouldn't have enough vegetables.I went to buy convenience store side dishes...My daughter is addicted to the dark gutters and can't see them😱Did you twist your ankle? sprain! ? and,Although I panicked,Fortunately, it was just a scratch and a dirty sneaker.Truly a journey protected by Buddha 🙏2. ServiceAs the reviews said, it was good.From the time of check-in,Welcomed with a smile,Arriving in the rain in an unfamiliar place,That alone makes me happy♪It's not that one person is friendly,On average, everyone will treat you the same way, soI get the impression that the education is being done properly😚Even after checking out the next day,Until the Shinkansen time at night, suitcases, etc.Please keep it for me.Lobby in front of the front desk when picking up(This is also the breakfast venue)I was able to take a break and drink some tea from the vending machine.In the cold rain, in the warm indoors,Heal your tiredness after walking around Hiraizumi for a day.I hope you have the energy to return to Kanagawa.Thanks to you I was able to charge it👍3. RoomThis time, it's a non-smoking premium twin.It's a little older and smaller than the premium sound suggests.Premium isProbably a view overlooking the city.(However, it was raining and smoky...I couldn't see clearly)A high-quality, high-performance hair dryer,Since the air purifier is installed indoors,That seems to be the case.For us parents and children,The room was quite satisfactory.Both parent and child have asthma.Due to allergic sensitivity,Even bedding that is okay for other people may be harmful to your skin.Sometimes I can't sleep because I feel itchy.The tick is Yusa, or rather,If your room is not cleaned properly,dragging the bedding on the floorto make the bed,Dust mites on the floor sometimes transfer to the bed.But this is okay✌️That's what I'm most worried about when I'm staying at a hotel...I can sleep soundly, GOOD😘Cleaning the room, no problems.The provided slippers are not individually packaged,Just in case, bring your own disinfectant wipes.I wiped it.There may be a trend to stop using bags due to the SDGS issue, but I am worried.Since it is a business hotel,I guess it can't be helped around here.The temperature of the room isI didn't really mess with it, but it was a good temperature.(Wasn't the air conditioner on?)When I go to bed, I wear the provided nightwear.It's so hot that I can't sleep.However, the next morning it was extremely cold...It was only a little cold in the morning, butIt wasn't cold enough.(The hotter Tokyo is, the more foreign it is,The temperature is different in Iwate 😳)The water area isA toilet, sink, and bath all in one,unit bath.Overall, although it is old, it is clean.There is no closet;Hang the hanger on the wall.Overall, rather than tourists,Built for business travelers.There's no coffee in the room,Kombucha or Sencha packs,The method is to bring it from the side of the elevator.Amenities such as toothbrushes and combs are also provided.From here, we can buy what we need by ourselves.I'll take it.4. Passed the card key for the guest,Hold this up for the elevator and go to your floor.5. Eating and drinkingThe lobby in front of the front desk is the breakfast venue.The last replenishment will take place at 8:45am.It would be better to come before thenYou won't have to worry about running out of food,That's what I mean.I went there around 8:30.A toddler with a severe coughAt the table,Dad fetched food,I was giving.(Otherwise, the food lined upIt's scary because the droplets from coughing fly. )asthmatic,For those of us with allergic and sensitive throats,I sat down at the counter seat far away.According to the explanation at check-in,You can also bring breakfast to your room.There was a container left for you to take home.It's crowded and there are no seats,reduce the risk of infection,I want to eat while watching TV.According to each person's circumstances,This point is amazing 👍The variety is small, but the price is sufficient.There are two types of bread and sausage,Japanese food may have more side dishes.There are two types of rice: white rice and takikomi.curry, tomato soup, corn soup,Miso soup too.Croquettes and carrot juice are also available.Grilled mackerel, pickles, etc.Tofu with green vegetables,Can foreigners eat it?I thought,A large Western man prepares all the side dishes.3 times as much as me!I was getting a lot🤩, soAh, everyone can eat it.I was impressed.I'm getting used to Japan more and more...There was one disappointing point.If you don't drink hot coffee in the morning,I can't wake up.The coffee beans are cut,It is not easily replenished.What I found in coffee isAfter meal 😓Because it's a wake-up callJust refilling the coffeeJust beans, beans? !I wanted you to do it~Coffee, eggs, salad,Even just breadIt's good enough...(I have low blood pressure, and my brain doesn't wake up easily after I wake up.)I need coffee or strong tea. )In this lobby,There are also vending machines, and I believe they sell beer etc.They also sold alcoholic beverages.Although dinner is not included,You can also take out from nearby restaurants.Possible.I have summarized my impressions above.I think this is a convenient and easy-to-use hotel for those sightseeing in Hiraizumi.There was a notice posted next to the elevator,Elementary school student's first business trip experience accommodation (?)A program calledIt seems that they are going there.At that time, especially non-smoking twin rooms,I might not be able to get it...

Stayed for two nights on September 22 and 9/23, 2024, right next to Yiguan Station, very suitable for travelers!Breakfast is provided, there are coin-operated washing machines, and the Internet is stable. Although there are not many restaurants to choose from after 6 pm, there are still convenience stores!What is a pity is that:There is only one elevator inside, so you have to wait to get up and down!There are no buses here after 6pm🚌!If you come again, will you consider continuing to stay? Yes, because it is standardized and close to the station, and there are no other options nearby.Note: Starbucks coffee is three kilometers away
