Kamenoi Hotel Oarai

We stayed here to visit Oarai Aquarium and Kairakuen Garden. There was a welcome drink, so we had coffee before heading to our room. For three guests, the room had twin beds plus a full set of futons. The room had been renovated in a modern style and was very comfortable, and we loved the view from the window—right in front of us were the river and bridge, with the ocean beyond. Dinner was Japanese cuisine at the restaurant, with sashimi and fried dishes as well, and there was more than enough food. They also offered free ramen at night, which my son happily went to enjoy. Breakfast was a buffet with a wide selection; they grilled fish on the spot and it was delicious. Excellent value for money—we’d definitely like to stay again.

Dinner was delicious—especially the grilled seafood—and we were very satisfied.At the breakfast buffet, there weren’t many options our family liked, so we would like to see items such as sushi added. We were also disappointed that the only hot drink available was coffee, with no tea or green tea.The staff service was polite and very good.
