Yamagata Kokusai Hotel

Yamagata Kokusai Hotel is a hotel located about a 6-minute walk from JR Yamagata Station. Although it is in a downtown area, the interior is quiet and relaxing, helping guests recover from work or travel fatigue. For those arriving by car, the underground parking lot connected directly to the entrance is convenient—allowing check-in without getting wet even in rain or snow. In addition to Western-style rooms, the hotel offers very spacious 44㎡ Japanese-style rooms, making it suitable for sightseeing, business, memorial services, and more. Many famous spots such as Kajo Park and the Yamagata City Local Museum are within walking distance, so it is often used as a sightseeing base. A standout feature is breakfast featuring seasonal local cuisine: Yamagata specialties like imoni, tama-konnyaku, slowly simmered Yamagata beef curry, and beef suki-ni. Some guests say they usually skip breakfast, but make an exception here. The hotel also has a French pastry shop inside, popular for 11 types of chocolates (such as framboise and praline) and crisp cookies and pies; some guests enjoy a relaxing moment there after checkout.
