New Moon Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I thought breakfast would be a seafood rice bowl, but it was a make-your-own seafood bowl! There were plenty of toppings laid out right in front of me, making it a fun meal to start the day. The Room was also clean and relaxing. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again.

The three of us—three generations of our family—stayed here. That day, only the suite Room was available and it was a bit pricey, but with the spectacular view it was absolutely the right choice. The scenery, cuisine, and service were all outstanding. I have never had sea urchin this delicious. The Standard Plan offered more than enough dishes, and our son in his 20s was very satisfied. The sunrise was slightly covered by clouds, but that made it feel mystical in its own way. This is a Hotel we would definitely like to visit again.

I’ve stayed here many times, and this was the first time I was impressed that breakfast seating was open. Also, since it’s bonito season, they served a generous portion of delicious bonito sashimi in the morning! This is an area where even the grilled salmon is unbelievably good, so breakfast was already high quality—and then they added sashimi too. I was very satisfied! The Room and Facility are a bit old, but if that doesn’t bother you, I think it’s a great Accommodation. It’s also close to a convenience store.

This time I wanted to try fishing at Kesennuma Port, so I stayed at this Accommodation because it’s close to the fishing spots. It’s located on a hill right in front of the port, with a great view. From the main entrance you can overlook all of Kesennuma Port, and it was such a refreshing place. What’s more, thanks to the very unique elevator tower, it was super convenient—I could get to the fish market on ground level in just 2–3 minutes. The building itself feels a bit retro and has a Showa-era vibe, so it may not be for everyone, but I found it very comfortable. What really impressed me was the night view of Kesennuma Port—and the sea urchin and hoya! The scenery completely changes from daytime; with the illumination it felt almost like a theme park. I was truly moved. I also enjoyed night fishing while taking in the lights—please do see it in person if you can. And the dinner served this time—sea urchin on its shell and hoya sashimi—was incredible. The sea urchin I had before at a Hotel in Minamisanriku was delicious too, but Kesennuma’s sea urchin is no joke! It had rich sweetness and umami and tasted amazing. The hoya sashimi may have been the best I’ve ever had. The ocean aroma and perfectly firm texture were irresistible for anyone who loves hoya. All staff were polite and very pleasant. Some seemed new, but their sincerity came through, and it made me feel this is a well-run Hotel. I suppose there’s no helping that some Facility areas are a bit old, but even taking that into account, I’d definitely like to stay again.

The Room is clean, compact yet functional. The large public bath is also great. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety, and I ended up eating too much. It’s also convenient to have a convenience store right in front. If I had to mention one thing, the building is long horizontally, so it’s a bit of a walk to the Room.

I stayed here for the first time in several years. Last time, meals were served on the second floor, but this time it was on the first floor. The food was excellent in both taste and portion size—everything was delicious. It has improved a lot compared to before. I didn’t know you could choose your shampoo, and I was very grateful to find the same one I use at home. There was also a massage chair in the Room, which I used at night and again in the morning, and it really helped relieve my stiffness. If you turn the faucet at the sink too far, it won’t return easily, which can be a bit alarming. Also, I felt like I couldn’t get strong water pressure, and it seemed like the ventilation fan in the shower room wasn’t running. At breakfast, I also wondered if mugs might be better than paper cups since they can be reused. Since this is an older Hotel, some Facility limitations are understandable, but it would be helpful if even just one twin Room were barrier-free (or had separate bath and toilet). As you get older, stepping over a bathtub becomes difficult. Also, regarding vending machine selection: after the convenience store near the station closes, it would help to have enough options so guests aren’t stuck—such as alcohol and hot cup soup. One more thing that stood out was that all of the coffee options seemed to come with milk and sugar already included.

This was my first stay here. I was very satisfied with the Premium Room and the seafood beach barbecue. I would like to stay again.

We stayed on a Plan with breakfast included. When I think of a Hotel breakfast, it’s usually a buffet, but this time we enjoyed a Japanese-style breakfast. It was delicious and made us feel well cared for. If you avoid the busy hours, you can also relax and warm up in the bath. My mother especially liked Ambasa among the complimentary juices and drank quite a lot. There was also a good variety of tea and juice, which we enjoyed. (They are available for relatively long hours compared to other places.) We also appreciated services such as bicycle rentals, and felt the overall service was very well provided. Thanks to that, we were able to take our time resting while taking care of our errands. Thank you very much.

The hospitality was excellent, and they kindly accommodated our request to change the dish (the simmered fish), so we had a wonderful time. Since it was before the busy season, we were able to chat leisurely with the owner and the hostess, and on the way home my wife and I talked about coming back again. Thank you very much—please stay well.

We stayed here as a couple during Golden Week. Above all, we were truly impressed by how wonderful the meals were. Luxurious ingredients you can only enjoy here—such as Kesennuma’s famous shark fin and shark—were served, and everything was delicious. We were moved by each and every dish. We’re originally from Shikoku and regularly enjoy fresh seafood, but the abalone sashimi and oysters in particular were exceptional—an unforgettable taste. The Accommodation was spotless throughout, and the garden was beautifully maintained, making our stay very comfortable. At breakfast, you kindly shared various stories about Oshima, and when we left, everyone waved to us until we were out of sight. Your warm hospitality left us feeling genuinely touched. This is a lovely Accommodation where you can truly relax, and it will stay with us for a long time. We took walks around the area in both the morning and evening, and found great comfort in the birdsong, the star-filled sky, the clear air, and the unhurried island pace of life. Within walking distance is Jūhachi Naruhama Beach (designated a Natural Monument), well worth a visit. (It’s a mysterious beach that makes a squeaking sound when you walk on it.) Our only regret is that we arrived just in time for check-in this trip and left early in the morning. Since we live far away we can’t visit often, but next time we would love to stay longer at a more relaxed pace. Thank you very much to everyone at the Accommodation!

My child came home to visit and brought friends, so we booked at the last minute with the No Meals Included option. The Room Plan was up to the property, but it seems there was availability and we were given a very nice room. They were very happy. We would definitely like to stay again.

The entire Accommodation was very clean and well maintained. The bath is small, but you can tell it is thoroughly cleaned. There is no toilet or bath in the Room, but it was so comfortable that I didn’t mind at all. I only had breakfast, but it was delicious and very filling. I regret not having dinner there as well. I almost felt bad for the hospitality—it was more than worth the price (lol). I’ve only been staying at Business Hotels lately, so an Accommodation like Sanyo felt especially warm and welcoming. I think I was able to refresh both body and mind. It’s my favorite Accommodation I’ve stayed at so far. I don’t often have a chance to visit Sanriku, but I’d love to come again.

They were extremely attentive in accommodating an irregular check-in process and even late-night entry. Not only was the staff’s hospitality consistently courteous, but the thoughtful selection of in-Room amenities and Facilities also left a great impression. Both the Room and the entire building were impeccably cleaned and truly spotless. The property is filled with charming Showa-era retro touches throughout, and the bath was very comfortable. They even invited me to a summer event, so I went ahead and made another repeat Reservation today. I travel all over the whole country, and for those who click with it, this Accommodation is an absolute must-recommend!

This was our first stay as a family of three. Dinner was very delicious. The Facility seems quite old, but it was well cleaned and we had a comfortable stay. We will use it again in two weeks.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cottage’s exterior illumination at night was beautiful. Inside the cottage, all the basic necessities were provided, which was very convenient. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the stars this time due to the weather, but I hope we can next time we stay.
