Hotel Route Inn Ofunato ★★★

📍 Nonoda-154-9 Ofunatocho, Ofunato

"This is a Japanese hotel chain, mostly located in rural areas or small towns. I've stayed at this branch in Kumamoto before. The location is excellent, in the center of Kesennuma, next to a BRT bus stop. However, the area is sparsely populated, being one of the areas most severely affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake."

Ofunato Plaza Hotel
9.0 (77 reviews)

Ofunato Plaza Hotel ★★★

📍 Chayamae-7-8 Ofunatocho, Ofunato

"This hotel has a sense of prestige and is representative of the area. There are many places to eat and drink in the surrounding area, so it's convenient to walk around town and enjoy some food after checking in, and the BRT station is right next door. The facility is very clean."

Koyokan
8.9 (24 reviews)

Koyokan ★★★

📍 Shirahama-95 Sanrikucho Ryori, Ofunato

"This hotel is located on a hill by the sea in a small fishing village. Relax in a quiet environment. The lounge and room overlook the bay. You can see the sunrise directly in front of you. The bath is not a hot spring, but I took it slowly. The food is perfect, but it's all seafood and meat. The whole is beautiful because it is rebuilt after the earthquake. In the lobby lounge, jazz, which is the owner's hobby, is played, and you can relax while looking at the sea. This is a hotel I would like to use again."

Ofunato Onsen ★★★
"This is a large facility that combines a day spa and a hotel. It is said that the inn serves delicious fisherman's meals, so I thought it was a fisherman's inn, but I was surprised to see that it was a large hotel. It seems to be a new facility. Guests can drink coffee (for free) in the lounge at the front desk. The beautiful Japanese-style room was 10 tatami mats in size, and a futon was laid out. There was also one chair. There were two card keys, which was very helpful. I registered for the Ofunato Onsen official app at the information desk in the room and was given 300 grams of wakame sashimi. It was plentiful and ready to use, so I use it at home. My partner bought two bags of wakame seaweed at the shop because it was cheap (he also got a coupon to use as a souvenir, so he got a discount). The day spa has a large public bath with hot and lukewarm water, and the view of the sea from the open-air bath is spectacular. There are all-in-one products in the washroom area. Although it is a day spa, it was around 4pm on a Monday, so it was quiet and not crowded, so I was able to take my time. Dinner was the best dinner I had during my six night stay at the Tohoku Ryokan Hotel. It was a seafood dinner, with appetizers of wakame crackers, mekabu, and sashimi of sea squirt delivered directly from Sanriku. The sashimi consisted of abalone, umami-sugahi and its liver, bonito, and sweet shrimp. I much prefer abalone sashimi to grilled abalone. The crunchy texture was amazing. I was surprised when the Ofunato Onsen specialty, swordfish head stewed for three days, was served. The swordfish head was very large, about 50 cm (or more?), and its eyeball was about 10 cm (?). I could eat the bones as well, and it was full of collagen (they cut it up for me). The steamed scallops were the biggest scallops I've ever eaten (about 5 cm in height). The chawanmushi was made with home-grown wakame seaweed, and they also served salt-grilled pacific saury and crispy deep-fried warasa (yellowtail). Unfortunately, I didn't order the Iwate Prefecture Hitomebore rice and pacific saury meatball soup because I couldn't eat them. My partner only wanted soup, so we both passed on them, so dinner was very filling. For alcohol, we ordered the nigori sake Yukiko, a local sake from Ofunato Town (300cc, 1,100 yen). It was dry and delicious, and went well with dinner. Breakfast was served from 7 to 9, so I thought it would be a buffet, but it was a Japanese meal. It was a buffet of juice, Koiwai milk, coffee, and other drinks, as well as natto seaweed, fruit, rich almond tofu, and Ofunato's local sweets, "nabeyaki." The nabeyaki contained brown sugar. A lot of local ingredients were used for breakfast. The abundant wakame seaweed was from the Sanriku region, which was grown by the owner. The simmered shredded kelp, ginger-flavored wakame stems, Sanriku mekabu and tuna with grated yam, grilled fish, and fluffy rolled sushi rolls* all had a gentle flavor. This breakfast was also very filling and very satisfying."

"I used this hotel for the KESEN ROCK FESTIVAL. It was new and very clean, and there was a shopping facility opposite, so it was very convenient. There was a welcome drink server in the lobby, and they even provided sports drinks and chilled jelly to prevent heat stroke. The amenities were great, and the large public bath was great for relaxing. The breakfast buffet also offered a variety of Japanese, Western and Chinese food, and everything was delicious. I stayed at a different hotel the next day, but realized I'd left something here, so I called and they were very polite and kept it for me. I'm very grateful. The photo is the view from my room."

"Very clean! ! And although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs! recommend! If I have to talk about shortcomings, it may be that the parking lot is a bit small and there are no normal parking spaces when you arrive@@"
