Sakura Port Hotel

Very convenient hotel in Kitakami, located right next to the station and the bus stop for Geto Kogen Ski Resort. Perfect if you are planning a ski trip and taking the bus to the resort. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and there are convenience stores and restaurants nearby.

If you’re arriving by bus the hotel is located in the other side of the Station. It looks close to the JR station but it’s indeed a 10 mins walk. You cannot go though the JR station since there are gates. The staff are helpful and friendly.

This hotel feels very new, with modern design throughout both the exterior and interior. I stayed in a single room and found it surprisingly spacious for one person. The hotel also provides comfortable sleepwear that can be worn to the public bath, which was a nice touch and very comfortable for sleeping. The automated check-in and check-out process was also very smooth, quick, and easy. Make sure to pick up some amenities at the lobby area before heading up to your room! The location is extremely convenient, just a few steps from the free shuttle stop to Geto Kogen Ski Area. During peak season, the queue can get quite long, so it’s best to arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure a seat on the shuttle.

it’s located right next to the train station and within walking distance from a lawson.

Location is very good, just two minutes walk from JR station. The shuttle bus stop to ski area is just one minute walk. Next to hotel is a big parking lot. Room is clean, but no hook for hanging stuff in the bathroom. No expectation in public bath, better than nothing. Kitakima is a very sleepy town, few selection of restaurants in town, no restaurant near the hotel, but one inside the hotel. Steak is great there. Wrong room type had been allocated to me ( not the problem of the hotel), but finally being compensated by Trip.com.
