I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is so conveniently situated right across the train station, making it a breeze to navigate around. The rooms were wonderfully spacious and came equipped with a kettle for a nice cup of tea. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff who even provided me with a map of the town and great restaurant recommendations. The dining options were superb, offering a delightful blend of Japanese traditional variety. However, the buffet style had limited choices, but the freshly baked croissants were a standout. The facilities were fantastic, and I truly enjoyed my time here.

The hotel is conveniently located right by the station, making it easy for coming and going to-and-from Ichinoseki. The rooms have a strong smell of smoke, which is common in many Japanese hotels.
