It's tucked away in a hilly area in the countryside, just off the road in front, so it's quiet. The parking lot is gravel and has no roof, so it might be difficult for motorcycles. The building is old and the rooms are average but clean. In a good way, the food doesn't match the price, and although it doesn't have any flashy presentation, I was impressed by the well-prepared and carefully prepared dishes. I would definitely like to use it again next time.

I used it by myself.I walked from Soma Station, but it's about 12km, which is a bit tough. I should have taken the bus.As per the reputation of the inn, the many delicacies were delicious. What really surprised me was the rice. I found the rice to be more delicious than the rice I had in Tendo.There were no facilities nearby, so we could see the stars beautifully.Then, in the morning, I took a walk along Kamaniwa Beach, and the distant view here was amazing, and you can see it in about 10 minutes on foot.The photo is the timetable for the return trip. Please refer to.This was a wonderful trip. thank you.

While many tourist spots are crowded with tourists due to the influence of inbound tourism, this place is truly quiet and relaxing.Recommended for those who like Showa retro.・Meals: Side dishes such as boiled flounder and steamed surf clams are delicious, but the rice is delicious. Also, although it is not served in your room, you will be taken to a private room so you can eat without hesitation.・Customer service: The proprietress was bright and cheerful and made me feel good. It seemed very busy due to lack of manpower.・Garden: You can walk around the vast grounds, and it was really beautiful with many cherry blossoms blooming at certain times of the year. As other people have said, the view from the top of the hill was amazing.・Hot springs: Separated for men and women. When I arrived, there was no one there and it was reserved.If I only write about the good things, my expectations will get too high, so I'll also write about the things that weren't good.・Washroom: Maybe it was just the room I stayed in, but when I tried to turn on the hot water, it didn't come out well. Water comes out without any problem.・Bathroom: The walls and glass are not very well kept. However, changing rooms, bath chairs, wash basins, etc. are cleaned.I've written a lot about it, but the good parts are overwhelmingly the best, so I'd like to revisit it.

I received it during my trip to Tohoku. The inn is a hot spring inn located in the Kamaniwa area along Prefectural Route 74. It had a quiet atmosphere surrounded by Sohoen Garden and trees. The room was a 10 tatami Japanese-style room with a toilet and a balcony, so I was able to relax. The bath is a simple carbonated spring hot spring, and although the bathtub is not that big, I was able to enjoy the hot spring as I was able to use it privately. We had breakfast and dinner in a private room. For dinner, we had seafood from Matsukawaura and off the coast of Soma, and the inn's specialties such as boiled stone cod and steamed Kitayori shellfish were delicious. Breakfast was a Japanese meal, and the home-made rice was delicious and filled me up. This time, I was touring the ruins of the earthquake, and the scenery in Fukushima was different from other places due to the effects of the nuclear accident. I once again realized that recovery takes time. I hope Kanteikan does its best as well. If I have another chance, I will send it to you.

I stayed with my friends on three bikes and went home satisfied.As soon as we arrived, the landlady guided us to the covered bicycle parking area.Dinner was a modest plan, but for those of us who are almost 70, we were very satisfied!It's clean both outside and inside.I want to go again.
