Eboshiso

I stayed at this place during my hike through the Michinoku coastal trail. This is a good choice before you attempt Kurosakiso and Kitayamazaki coast. This can be reached easily from Horinai station. Cross the big bridge and walk a bit more, you can see the sign to the left. The hotel has nice indoor and outdoor onsen. Many locals come here to use the onsen. They probably have annual or life membership to use the onsen. It is a nice opportunity to chat with some of them. When I was there, it was raining and hence I could not enjoy the view, however, using onsen after hiking in the rain was quite relaxing. On a clear day, the ocean can be seen from the room window. Dinner can be ordered and is quite good at a reasonable price. The next day, the hotel shuttle dropped me to the train station which was quite nice, I did not have to walk in rain.

Old and dirty and not very welcoming. Thin futon

Traditional Huge Hotel block located at the top of small hill, easy access by car and bit remote for OK 30mins walk from nearest Sanriku Tetsudo Railway Horinai station ,which is a nice scenic railway. 80s style interior but very nice clean quite environment and in good condition, staffs are polite and helpful. Most rooms can directly see the ocean through the balcony, I enjoyed a stunning Pacific Ocean sunrise , the semi-outdoor osens have the same oceanic view too, wonderful. Meal can be provided , reasonable price and good quality, u have to pre-order food while you check in. I had a wonderful stay in the hotel .
