I stayed here because it is close to Chuson-ji Temple. Even considering that it has only recently been renovated, the entire property—including the Room, Onsen, and shared areas—was kept very clean, and I had a very comfortable stay. The meals were excellent, and I was very satisfied to enjoy local specialties such as Maesawa beef steak, Sanriku seafood, Hatto soup, and Horohoro-zuke pickles. I would love to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

The free-flowing Onsen was wonderful. The indoor bath was a bit on the hotter side, while the open-air bath was pleasantly lukewarm, and we fully enjoyed the unique appeal of each. The Room was spacious, and we were able to relax comfortably. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. In particular, since I’m not fond of beef, I mentioned it in advance and they kindly accommodated my request. Thank you very much. Not only the meals but also everything else—including the Shuttle Service to the station—was handled with great kindness by all staff members. It was truly refreshing, and we had a wonderful time. We would definitely like to stay again.

Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, including local ingredients and Hatto-jiru soup. Breakfast was a Japanese and Western buffet with soba noodles and yogurt as well, and everything was delicious. The staff were kind and courteous. The Hotel is old but well maintained. It’s quite a walk to the Onsen, but there are rest areas along the way, showing thoughtful consideration. In the Room, having two kettles (hot and cold) along with tea snacks was a welcome service.

I’ve stayed here twice, and this is my go-to place whenever I come to Ichinoseki. All the staff are friendly, which makes me feel at ease.\nThe Facility has everything you need. The complimentary coffee is delicious, so I recommend taking some to go even if you don’t drink it at the Hotel. Breakfast offers a good selection—enough to enjoy without overeating—and it’s tasty too.

Although my arrival time was past 10 PM, I received very courteous service. The Room was also impeccably clean, allowing me to have a comfortable stay. Recently, I often use Route Inn and am always satisfied with their service.
