Location/Attraction(8/10):Located next to Oarai Isomae Shrine, it takes about 11 minutes by bus "Kaiyu" from Oarai Station (1 Day Pass JPY 200), or 5 minutes by taxi (about JPY 1300).It takes about 37 minutes to walk from Oarai Station. It is recommended to use bus/taxi to get to the hotel.If you drive by yourself, you can use the parking space at the front door. If it is full, you can also park in the parking lot next to Oarai Hotel, where there are electric charging spaces.Other attractions in Oarai area are far away from each other. The following is the time required from the hotel/shrine (walking/biking)Fish Market (about 13/4 minutes), Mentaiko Land (about 16/5 minutes), Oarai Marine Tower (about 25/8 minutes), Seaside Station (about 30/9 minutes), Oarai Station (about 37/11 minutes) , Oarai Aquarium (about 29/8 minutes), Naka Minato Fish Market (about 45/15 minutes)If you know how to cycle, be sure to rent an electric-assisted bicycle (JPY 1,500 per day) at the Kanko Information Office next to Oarai Station (9:00-17:30). You can rent it for 2 days or more. You can rent it at the Information Office/Oarai Seaside Hotel/ Return the car at Nakaminato StationAs the holy land of Girls und Panzer, there are many character plaques along the way. If you can, please wander around Oarai to enjoy it.This hotel is the closest hotel to the Oaraiiso Torii Shrine. You can see the seaside torii from the room and lobby, and you can see the sun rising from the torii.I can’t see clearly. There are stairs next to the hotel to walk to the embankment. There is also an observation deck next to the Oarai Art Museum to watch the sunrise over the torii gate.It was a cloudy day this time, and when I saw the sun, it had already risen above the torii gate. It was a bit regretful. To see the sun rising in the center of the torii gate like in the promotional photos, you can only see it in autumn and winter.Across the road is the second torii gate of Oaraiiso-mae Shrine. You can reach the main shrine by walking up the stairs.For food, walk past the Oarai Hotel (main building) and the Torii Torii on the street, turn left, and walk 15 minutes from the hotel to the Oarai Fish Market.In the fish market, there is a fish house that grills seafood, a fish shop that sells seafood donburi, and there is also a crab rice restaurant and other seafood donburi restaurants opposite.The shops in the fish market close very early (from 16:00 to 18:00, etc.), so please visit during breakfast/lunch timeThe angler fish hot pot and angler fish liver sashimi here are very delicious, be sure to try themFor dinner, there are not many choices in the area. The only walking distances are the Laughing Restaurant in the fish market (closes at 19:30), Higashimachi Shopping Center's Ryoko (closes at 20:30), and Iso Cuisine Hinoji opposite the hotel (closes at 21:00). close)For taxis/self-driving, you can go to Coco's, a family restaurant near the station (closing at 24:00), Oarai Seaside Station (closing at 20:00-21:00), and Izakaya Seafood Restaurant near the Ocean Tower (closing at 21:00). )Hotel Oarai (main hotel) has a Buffet Dinner, but since it is only available to hotel guests, you may have to check at the front desk to see if it can be used.If you want to have a late-night snack in the evening, there is a 24-hour convenience store (7-11) in the direction of the fish market, about 10 minutes' walk away.Facilities(8/10):The hotel only has 3 floors (2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors) and there is no elevator. You have to climb the stairs to carry your luggage to the room. Fortunately, I stayed on the 3rd floor this time and only needed to move to the first floor.If you have large luggage, you can store it at the front desk for free, and the staff will give you a small name tag to identify it.There will be access control at the gate from 24:00 to 5:00, and the automatic door will be locked. You need to use the side door next to the door card to enter.You can rent electric-assisted bicycles at the front desk for JPY 600 per day. You can use them after check-out. There are only 2 units available. Please make a reservation in advance.(2nd floor) The lobby provides cleaning supplies (toothbrushes, razors, headphones, combs, etc.), and there are coffee machines, water dispensers, tea bags, snacks, microwaves, etc. nearby.If you make a reservation, there are breakfast options to choose from. Japanese and Western options include scrambled eggs, bacon, salad, western soup, and meal kits.There are magazine cabinets (with magazines and leaflets about Shao Zhan and Travel) and comic cabinets next to the stairs. You can take them back to your room and read them slowly. Other than that, there are no other public entertainment facilities.There is a vending machine at the end of the 3rd floor that sells alcohol and drinks, as well as an ice machine.This time I stayed in a Standard Twin room with a Western design. The door of the room is opened with an electronic lock and a key card. You must take off your shoes at the entrance before entering.On the left side of the entrance is a bathroom with an electronic toilet, and on the right is a bathroom with a bathtub. Shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner are from the Predia brand.Passing through the entrance is the bedroom. On the left are a desk, a TV and a refrigerator. Supplies such as a hair dryer, an electric kettle, an ice bucket, etc.On the right are two semi-double beds, each with light switches, sockets, and USB charging holes.The wardrobe in the room provides deodorizing spray, towels and bathrobes, clothes drying racks, etc.If your yukata doesn't fit you, you can go to the yukata corner next to the stairs on the 3F. There are yukatas and slippers for children and other sizes, but be careful not to be scared by the doll wearing a yukata.There is a bar next to the window with a USB charging hole. If you don’t want to go out to watch the sunrise, you can also enjoy it slowly at the bar in the room. There are mosquito nets on the windows that can be opened to watch the sunrise.Uoraian does not have a large bath, but you can use the observation bath on the 9th floor of the Oarai Hotel main building. It takes about 2 minutes to walk to the main hotel. Please remember to bring the towels and bathing tickets in the room.The large public bath is an indoor artificial hot spring, and there are sufficient flushing facilities.The dressing room has locked lockers, hot and cold tea machines, dryers, combs, and LUCIDO brand lotions and hair lotions.There are benches outside the large bath for you to rest after bathing. There are three foot massagers and free ice bars. There is also a milk vending machine next to it.There are also vending machines selling drinks, wine and Haagen-Dazs on the first floor of the main building, and there is also a shop selling souvenirs next to the front desk.Other facilities in the hotel such as swimming pool, karaoke, and lounge should be limited to residents of the hotel. You can check at the front desk to see if they can be used.Service(10/10):The staff are polite and attentive, and can introduce the hotel facilities in simple English.Accommodation guides in Chinese/English are provided when you check-in. The guides include sunrise and sunset times.In particular, I was deeply impressed by a middle-aged male employee with glasses. After learning that I was visiting the Holy Land, he very enthusiastically introduced nearby tourist attractions and gave suggestions.When it rained heavily, he saw that I was soaked and took the initiative to provide me with a towel. When I checked out, he took the initiative to ask me if I wanted to store my luggage in the hotel first.When they knew I was going back to the station, they asked me if I needed a taxi. I was very touched by this humane and considerate service.There is no lift but the staff proactively asked if they needed to move their luggage to the room.You can see the attentive service in every facility.You have to walk to the large public bath, so mesh bags and plastic bags are provided.The coffee from the coffee machine is very hot and dangerous, so cup lids and sleeves are provided.The information board next to the front desk provides restaurant/tourist information guides in the Oarai area.Cleanliness (10/10):It can be seen that the room was renovated recently (19 years), and many room facilities/equipment are modern, except the bathroom looks a bit old but tidyThe whole building and the public facilities in the hotel are very clean, but you can see the staff regularly inspecting and cleaning them.Areas for improvement:It would be nice if more bicycle rentals could be providedIt’s a bit far from Oarai Station, so it would be nice if there is a shuttle bus, or the official website provides the schedule/information for the Kaiyuhao.It would be better if you can use other entertainment facilities in the hotel such as swimming pool, karaoke, and Lounch.I was scared by the doll wearing a yukata on the third floor QAQThere are not many restaurant options nearby at night. It would be nice to provide dinner if possible, or you can also purchase the Buffet Dinner in our hotel.It would be nice to have a lift

The scenery is great and very close to the beach! ! ! There is a hot spring ~

This hotel is more like a B&B (no dinner), and everything is good. In addition to the beautiful scenery next to the torii gate, you can also rent electric bicycles for only 600 yen for any time. The breakfast is also very rich, and the counter is replenished at any time. Although there is no large public bath, you can use it at the hotel next door. As for the disadvantages, it is probably that it is more difficult to carry luggage since there is no elevator! (The hotel staff helped us move into the room first)If you have friends who want to come to Oaraiiso, this hotel is highly recommended!
