Above all, I was moved by the story of the landlady's earthquake disaster! I was very satisfied with the food and the room! ! However, I was a little disappointed in the bath, and when I went to the bath to look forward to it, the customer in front of me...I was in the men's bath, and the lady with the customer in front of me was in the changing room, and I was surprised and disappointed! ! You're old enough, so let's follow the rules! ! No common sense! Well, other than that couple, I was very satisfied! !

I like rugby, so I came to Horaikan, which is right next to the stadium where the World Cup was held. Surprisingly, there was an autographed Nippon Steel Kamaishi baseball ball on display there, which reminded me of the Ironman of the North and moved me. From the room you can see the pine forest and the soothing sound of the ocean waves. I was satisfied with all the meals made with local ingredients! The crew members were also very kind and satisfied and grateful!! ️
