Used for group lunches.All the staff members were cheerful and cheerful, even though they had a low profile, which made me feel comfortable.When I left, all the staff came outside to see me off.Although I only stayed for a short time, I left a strong impression in a good way.The set meals we had for lunch were truly delicious, and the restaurant's desire to ``taste the local flavors'' was conveyed through its many outstanding dishes.The seaweed tsukudani that came with it was said to be handmade at the restaurant, but it was really delicious, not too sweet or too strong. The rice progressed and I ran out of clam rice (lol)You can buy it as a souvenir, so we recommend purchasing it when you return home.I'm really thankful to you.

The hotel is just on the ocean, providing a beautiful view over the harbor. Fishing spots are just on the front door. The hotel provides as well fishing gear in case you need some.The rooms are good. We enjoyed the good and clean hot bath with a normal and jacuzzi section. The owner is very kind and helpful.If we come again to Soma, we will stay in Minatoya for sure.

I visited with my family of 5 in the first week of August.In response to the child's request to try fishing, the young master lent him the rod and fishing equipment and they were able to have fun. The fishing port is right in front of you, making it a great place for fishing.After having fun fishing, we were able to relax in the bubble bath in the large public bath.With the consideration of the landlady, we were able to set up a family bath depending on the situation on the day, and at dinner, we were able to enjoy a full course of delicious local fish in the wonderful hospitality of the young landlady, which is unique to a small scale inn. Thank you very much for your hospitality.In the morning, enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean from your room. At breakfast, we opened the large windows of the banquet hall with a great view, and enjoyed a delicious Japanese breakfast while feeling the scent of the sea breeze and the hustle and bustle of the fishermen working on setting sail.I came here for a work meeting and thought, ``Next time I'll be visiting with my family of five,'' and it was a big hit with my family as well. I look forward to hearing from you again next time.

Apparently it was renovated after the earthquake. I wanted to eat fish, so for dinner I ate my fill of crab, blowfish, and meat, and also enjoyed some delicious local sake.

A simple, utilitarian hotel by the waterfront with great sunset, sunrise and moonlight views. Located right by a fishermen's wharf it offers super fresh seafood like squid, founders and sizeable clams. The friendly hotel staff can setup a charcoal fish BBQ, the most popular way of enjoying seafood in these parts. The hotel had been restored and features brand new baths and lobby.

The seafood and Soma beef were great.I also appreciate the homely customer service provided by the landlady.However, the room generally smells like cigarettes, and there aren't many cosmetics.I think that's fine if you're only dealing with fishing customers, but if you're dealing with families, I think it would be better to have a non-smoking room.
