Minamisanriku Hotel Kanyo

This was my first time staying here.The building feels a bit old, but both the Room and the bath were thoroughly cleaned, so I had a very comfortable stay. The meals were excellent; the grilled dancing abalone at dinner was tender, and choosing the octopus shabu-shabu add-on was definitely the right decision. Everything was delicious.The staff served the dishes efficiently, allowing us to enjoy our meal smoothly.Breakfast also offered a wide variety of items, all of them tasty. There was even shark fin soup, and I especially recommend the freshly baked croissants.Since the Room faces the sea, the view is spectacular. The bath is also built facing the ocean, making it incredibly relaxing. It was cloudy so I couldn’t see the sunrise, which was disappointing—so I would love to stay again.

I chose a reasonably priced option, but it seems I was actually given a Room from a higher-priced plan, and I’m grateful for the staff’s thoughtfulness. I was very satisfied. However, the provided toilet paper was the thin type, which wasn’t great—I would have preferred double-ply. Still, I’d like to stay again if I have the chance.
