The hotel has a fantastic location just outside the tsunami-affected area of Minamisanriku, offering a glimpse into a region rebuilding itself. The rooms were traditional Japanese-style, giving a unique experience, but I unfortunately ended up in a room that smelled of cigarette smoke. The staff were incredibly friendly and gracious despite the challenges they've faced. Overall, while I appreciated the unique aspects and the warm hospitality, the room condition was a letdown.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were lovely with a stunning ocean view, and the staff was incredibly friendly, showing a lot of dedication to the community. On the other hand, the cigarette smoke smell in my room was off-putting and the dining options were quite limited. Overall, it's a decent place with great potential, especially considering its value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms boasted stunning views of the coastline and the surrounding area, but unfortunately, the smell of cigarette smoke was quite off-putting. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to support the local community post-tsunami. While the location offered a unique perspective on the area’s recovery, it was also heartbreaking to witness its past. Overall, it was a decent stay with some drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, just outside the affected area from the tsunami, offering a beautiful view of the ocean. The rooms had a unique combination of tatami and western styles, although the cigarette smoke was quite bothersome. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which was a major plus. However, the situation with the rooms could have been better.
