I visited you on a motorcycle tour. The wife is very friendly and easy to talk to, and the room is very clean, making it very comfortable to spend time there. Also, since her husband is a fisherman, the seafood was very fresh and could only be tasted here. By the way, from the room you can see Horai Island, which is the model for Hyokkori Gourd Island. I would like to visit you again on my next tour. If you are touring Tohoku by motorcycle, you may want to stay overnight.Akabu-san at the time of the earthquake is recreated in a scene from director Makoto Shinkai's Suzume's Door Shut.

I was in the middle of a solo train trip when I stopped by.I was able to spend a relaxing time thanks to the thoughtfulness of the kind landlady.The food was full of fresh seafood and was very delicious 🐟 I'm sorry for the price.My husband also apologized for having to drive to the station so late to pick me up.This time, I will be visiting you by car as well as sightseeing around the Sanriku coast. I hope both the landlady and Poo-chan😺 stay healthy and healthy.

If you're staying overnight, it's better to include dinner for 1,500 yen. You are sure to be satisfied.

A newly built guesthouse on a hill overlooking the ocean. I was made to feel very welcome by the friendly, bright and energetic lady. In particular, the food was delicious and had a wide variety of items. The seafood caught by the fisherman owner, hairy crabs, sea urchins, boiled fish, and sashimi are all fresh, and I think this dish is exceptional at this price. I was very satisfied and would like to come back again if I have the opportunity.

It was a very delicious dish.Luckily, I happened to have some matsutake mushrooms, so I was given a special matsutake mushroom meal.Not to mention the hairy crab, the sashimi, stewed fish, and the sea urchin and seaweed soup were all delicious.This was 7,000 yen for 1 night and 2 days.The cost performance is too good.I understand how it feels to be a repeat customer who comes four times a year.This is an inn I would like to come back to!

It's a really wonderful inn.Highly recommended for those who are not particular about bathrooms and bedrooms, but still want to eat delicious local food. (*The bathroom and bedroom are the size of a regular household, so they are well-maintained and well-maintained.)Anyway, the food is delicious. The proprietress cooks the fresh seafood that her husband, a fisherman, has gathered to make it delicious. Including fresh sashimi, soups, vinegared dishes, simmered dishes, aemonos, fried dishes, grilled dishes, etc., each dish was carefully prepared to make the best use of the quality of the ingredients. The freshly cooked white rice was so fluffy and sweet that I could easily eat it with my chopsticks.The wife is really friendly and talks to me from a comfortable distance. Through these exchanges, even if I don't say it outright, I once again realize that there was an earthquake and the seriousness of climate change.Taking these points into consideration (of course, it's great even if you don't), this is an inn I'd like to recommend.

I stayed here on October 20, 2022.The owner is a fisherman, so it seems that he offers a variety of dishes using local ingredients, seasonal ingredients, and the deliciousness of that time.Dinner and breakfast were all homemade by the wife and were very delicious. I was especially impressed by the "salt sea urchin"✩.*I forgot to take a picture, but the rice for dinner was ``octopus rice.'' The drink service was also very nice.It seems that you can eat sea urchin in April and abalone in November, so I would like to go there again in that season! (I may be remembering the timing incorrectly, so please call to confirm)It seems that the wife is running a guesthouse by herself, so if you are not busy, it may be possible to pick up and drop off at Otsuchi Station, so if you are going by train, it might be a good idea to call and check. .(Towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, toothbrushes, etc. are provided.)

I used it during a 4-day bicycle tour from Hachinohe to Sendai in September 2022. Thanks to you, I was able to travel safely.The location is a little difficult to find, so we recommend that you prepare in advance.Due to earthquake recovery efforts, the facility is new and very clean.The restaurant serves delicious dishes made from local ingredients, fish and vegetables grown in its own garden. I was quite surprised by the reasonable pricing.The sociable hostess was a great conversationalist.It was very impressive to see that the people who met with the earthquake on this tour were in good spirits, and it gave me a boost of energy.It wasn't until I stayed there that I found out that it was a guesthouse with a boat on it.

I used it on a bicycle trip.The rooms are clean, the food is great, and the alcohol is cheap (lol). Great value for money. Horai Island, which is said to be the model for Hyokkori Gourd Island, is right in front of you. I was also impressed by the proprietress' talk and service spirit. thank you very much.I stayed at this inn by chance, but I would definitely like to use it again next time.
