Hotel Ragaso

All of the staff were truly dedicated to hospitality. Especially at dinner, we enjoyed delicious seafood dishes, and above all, an 80-year-old grandmother warmly welcomed us with a kind smile and friendly words, explaining the dishes and how to eat them. We could really feel her heartfelt wish for us to relax and enjoy our meal at our own pace. When we thanked her after dinner, she was modest yet clearly very happy. I hope she stays well for a long time.The sea is right in front of you, and when you open the window you can hear the soothing sound of the waves. We took a walk along the breakwater just steps from the Hotel, and when we looked back at the full view of it, we realized it is built right on the edge of a coastal cliff—an outstanding location.Since this trip used an “Adult Holiday Club” pass, it was also very helpful that we could use the Shuttle Service to and from the station. At this one-and-only Hotel in Tanohata Village, Iwate Prefecture, we had a warm and memorable trip that delighted both body and mind. Thank you very much.

We stayed on the Value Course Plan. The meal included butter-grilled abalone and exceptionally fresh sashimi, and everything was delicious. The bath is not an Onsen, but there is also a sauna. Above all, the view of the Sanriku Coast and the ocean from the Room was wonderful.
