Staying aloneThe bed was spacious and comfortable, and there was a kettle, ice water pot, and snacks available.Everywhere is thoroughly cleaned and does not feel old.I thought all the employees were very pleasant and professional.The hot spring was great. It was spacious and not too hot so you could soak in it slowly. Shampoo conditioner body soap, Pola lotion and milk were provided.I had dinner nearby, so I only had breakfast, which was a Japanese buffet, but there was a lot of variety available and everything was delicious.I ate way too much from the morning.Considering all the quality, I think the accommodation price is quite reasonable.I would like to stay again.It was my first time in Kesennuma, but I was very satisfied with the many things to see and do, as well as the many delicious restaurants and sightseeing cruises.I will definitely go again in a different season.There seems to be a free shuttle service to the hotel, so I would like to use it next time.By the way, if you are using Google Maps on foot, take the second or right side of the slope.The steep slope on the left will end up running into a private house.

I stayed in a Western-style room for one night with breakfast included. The room was clean and the bed was large and comfortable.The hot springs were amazing as expected. The scenery and hot water were perfect, and the temperature was set at 41 degrees, so I took my time in the water.For breakfast, salad and squid sashimi were prepared, and the rest was a buffet.Salt-grilled salmon and fried eggs are freshly grilled. The buffet including clam chowder, mecha curry, and mecha chashu chazuke was very delicious.After breakfast, we used the storyteller bus. We had a very meaningful time as he explained in detail what happened at the time of the earthquake and the current state of the city.

The view from the room was good. (Overlooking the port)The food was delicious.The shark fin steak was especially delicious.On that day, it was the first catch of saury in Kesennuma, so each person was served one salt-grilled saury. Thank you for the treat.

It has the appearance of a retro resort hotel on the seaside, and the facilities are old, but they are well-maintained and the space is used luxuriously, so I think it's quite nice.Judging from the atmosphere, the food seems to be a hit, but unfortunately, I stayed overnight without meals and was in a very small room on the side that didn't have an ocean view, so I don't know the details. Even though it doesn't have an ocean view, it's actually built on the edge of the ocean, so you can see the ocean itself from the window (lol)The large public bath, which also has an open-air bath, uses sodium chloride aqueous solution pumped up from the basement and is heated to a temperature of about 41 degrees Celsius.The feeling of soaking in a hot spring was subtle, but it was relaxing, and the fatigue of traveling was alleviated.Also, the staff's response is truly professional! There are a lot of stores where you suddenly get a look that makes you wonder, ``What the hell is this guy?'', but the male staff at the door was really polite and gave me a good impression before I even entered the store. When I checked in, there was a previous customer waiting for me, but I was immediately guided to my place, and the front desk staff did a great job.

I stayed in a room facing the sea port. I was on the top floor, so the view was pretty beautiful.The hot springs and open-air baths are also famous for their high salt concentration, and when I licked my hands after soaking, it was salty lolAs expected from a hotel near the sea, there are plenty of fish dishes! The sashimi was fresh and very tasty.The reason why the service is ☆ is that the person who serves the meal is probably a lot of people who are staying on holiday, but he doesn't come out of the kitchen easily, and the customers who come in later are served first. Just offering it, huh? There was a point where I thought,He may have been in a hurry due to the morning buffet, but he was clapping his hands as if to tell the kitchen staff to hurry, so I added this because I didn't want to see that scene... ,
