"Nice place for a 1 night stay"

"Ofunato Onsen is a seaside ryokan-style hotel overlooking Ofunato Bay in Iwate Prefecture. Opened in 2014 as part of the region’s post-2011 tsunami recovery, it combines modern comfort with traditional Japanese hospitality. The hotel has about 58–69 rooms depending on room classification sources, nearly all with ocean views. Its biggest highlight is the natural open-air onsen facing the Pacific Ocean, especially famous for sunrise views over the bay. The fresh Sanriku seafood dinners were great. What amazed me was that they cleaned the soil from my bamboo walking staff when I placed it overnight at the hotel entrance umbrella stand."

"This is a Japanese hotel chain, mostly located in rural areas or small towns. I've stayed at this branch in Kumamoto before. The location is excellent, in the center of Kesennuma, next to a BRT bus stop. However, the area is sparsely populated, being one of the areas most severely affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake."

"It was clean and quiet. If you can take a bath in the morning, you can get a full point."

"The meal full of seafood is very delicious and full! I was satisfied. The customer service was kind and warm, and I was able to spend a relaxing time."
