Guest Reviews

• kazuhiro (9/5): 大満足、泊まれて良かったです。 - 窓から見える海の景色、波の音が最高でした。 朝食もとても美味しかった。 ドリンクの飲み放題がとても良く、特にアルコールは朝でも飲めて嬉しい限りです。 特になし。
• Masayo (8/5): -
• eiko (8/5): 女将さんをはじめ、スタッフが親切 - とても清潔でした なし
• KAZUKO (9/5): 3.11．東日本大震災15年目の節目を記憶する良き滞在となった。 - 当旅館で行われた3.11.東日本大震災15年目のイベントに参加できてよかった。ただ、天候が整わず、鎮魂の打ち上げ花火を見ることができなかったのは、残念だった。 元おかみの東日本大震災の語り部岩崎さんのお話は、震災の被害とそこからの立ち直りの過程、さらなる課題に改めて想いを馳せる良い機会となった。 料理がおいしかった。 お風呂が温泉だと、なお良かった。 玄関わきのオールインクルーシブに付帯したおつまみの種類が少なかった。また、ワインの銘柄を表記してほしかった。夕食時間を含め、日本酒は楽しんだ。
• noriki (9/5): -
• ユウイチ (9/5): 食事、お風呂、飲み放題サービスなど総合的に判断すると、最高でした。 - 夕食も朝食も大変美味しかったです。さらに、ビール等を無料で飲み放題は大変お得でしたね。夕食前に風呂上がりの一杯は最高でした。 残念ながら、ツインベットの部屋を取りましたので、窓を開けると、倉庫などと山が見えるだけでしたので、ロケーション的には最悪でしたね。
• Annie (10/5): - lovely host and breakfast.
• Indiana (10/5): -
• Tetsuya (8/5): 70点 - 綺麗。清掃が行き届いている。 オールインクルーシブの種類ご豊富。 食事のメインのメニューの決め手がなかった。 宿泊料金が高い。
• カトウ (10/5): 写真は朝食です！ - ロケーションが最高に良いです。本当に運良く満月で、目の前の海に月の光が反射して、月の道が美しく幻想的でした。また20時30分から女将さんの震災の時の話が聞けます。当時の映像なども交えて話してくれますので、とてもわかりやすく勉強になりました。アルコール類、ソフトドリンク飲み放題があり、他のお客様とも談笑出来る雰囲気で、充実した夜を過ごせました。 釜石駅から少し遠いのですが、送迎もしてくれます。その間の景色もとても綺麗です。また訪れたいです。 特にない
• Rob Allison (10/5): - Lovely room facing the forest behind the hotel which is in a beautiful area for hiking. Delicious meals and free booze! Very kind staff and the talk about The Tsunami was really interesting and moving. Great value for money for a ryokan.
• kimihisa (10/5): -
• Viengkham Mai (9/5): -
• RIE (8/5): ずっと応援したい素敵な宿 - 海辺の静かな場所にあり、食事も美味しく、旅の疲れが癒されました。特に夜の露天風呂は波の音が聞こえて、本当にゆったりできました。また、偶然聞くことができた震災の話に、あらためて深く考えさせられました。 特にありません。
• hideki (10/5): -
• 野村 (10/5): - 女将さんの震災報告を拝聴して14年前の出来事に思いを感じました。辛い思い出を一つ一つ伝えてくださり感謝しております。お食事も美味しくて最高でした。スタッフの方々も優しくて来年もおとずれたいと思いました。アルコールは無料でした。嬉しい配慮です。 ありません。
• Keiko (10/5): - It is absolutely an amazing place to stay. It’s quiet and peaceful place located right by the beach. The dinner and breakfast are excellent. Attending the story time on Tsunami made our stay memorable.
• Ryoichi (10/5): 滞在中ドリンクが無料 - 小道を挟んで海に面した良い立地です。ビールやウィスキーなども含めた各種ドリンクが滞在中、全員無料です。子供用に綿あめ機などもあります。女将さんが気さくな方で、非常に居心地の良いホテルでした。
• 須藤 (8/5): また、宿泊したいかも - ロケーションと宿泊料金と海鮮料理、フリーリキュールは何時（時間制限はあります）でも飲めて、地ビールもあります。お酒が飲める人で休日をリラックスするにはお勧め。露天風呂もいいよ。 無いと思う。宿泊料金から欲を言ったらきりがない。
• Shoko (10/5): 震災に負けなかった方達の強さ・優しさを感じる宿 - 山側のお部屋でしたが、バストイレは独立式で綺麗。お部屋もとても広々快適でベッドも寝心地良く、長時間ドライブの後だったので助かりました。 朝ご飯がとても美味しかったので、次回は夕食付きのプランにして再訪したいねと話しています。今回は運転疲れで震災の語り部を聞くことができなかったのが心残りです。旅館の皆さまがとても優しく素敵な方々で、心まで癒されました。飲み物が生ビール、ワイン、ソフトドリンクなどオールインクルーシブなのも嬉しい点でした。震災の慰霊碑なども見る事が出来て、大変有意義な滞在になりました。 釜石に滞在される方にはおすすめのお宿です。 ありがとうございました。 特にありません。
• KEIICHI (10/5): - 静かな環境で滞在を楽しみました
• Michael (10/5): -
• Shih-Yao (10/5): - The hotel is not large nor particularly luxurious, but it exudes a refined quality. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. The bathhouse — in terms of space, view, and water quality — is truly enjoyable. In the evening, we unexpectedly heard the okami (proprietress) share her personal experience with this hotel during the 3/11 tsunami, which was deeply moving. It gave us a deeper understanding of that disaster and became an unexpected highlight of our trip. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.
• Wai Lam (10/5): - 服務員都很熱情，還有震災講座，早上看到日出，這酒店很推薦！
• Ariane (10/5): A great place to rest - Beautiful beach. Excellent public bath. The owner is genuinely warm and welcoming. Nothing
• Jeffrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• ??? (8/5): - おかみさんの震災時のお話しにじーんときました〜 これからも応援します。 ありがとうございました〜
• kazumi (10/5): - 波の音を聞きながら温泉に入れたのがとてもよかったです。女将さんの笑顔が素敵にで、こちらも自然と笑顔になりました。海が目の前なので浜辺で遊んでから、おいしい朝食をいただきました。また利用したいです！
• ??? (10/5): - 夕食、朝食バイキングですが、食材やお料理がとても良く、今までに伺ったバイキングの中で一番美味しかったです
• たく (10/5): - 施設は全体的に清潔でとても良かったです。 お風呂も露天風呂があり、天気の良い日は夕日や月が松林の間から見れるかもしれません。
• NAMI (10/5): - 日本百名月にも選ばれた、海に面した部屋からの景色は絶景でした。お部屋の設備も環境に配慮されていてとても良いと思いました。 送迎バスを利用させて頂きましたが、その際のお話も心に残り、とてもよかったです。
• Yi (10/5): Encountering such genuine warmth and kindness, and inspiring people that have moved me! - Houraikan will always have a very special place in my heart because of the proprietress Akiko-san and her team. I was touched by their story of how they overcame the tsunami, and by their genuine warmth and kindness. Having been to many ryokans, I am familiar with the high standards of service but Houraikan went above and beyond. Their greetings and smiles are more than politeness but genuine warmth and earnestness, which you can feel. Akiko-san went out of her way to take photos for me as I was a solo traveller. She also brought me around Kamaishi, proudly introducing attractions along the way, giving me recommendations and even accompanying me to the tourist centre to get a town map, and then to the museum where she asked that the museum staff take good care of me. When a fire alarm rang in the middle of the night on one night, Akiko-san was so apologetic for disturbing my rest and even though I reassured her that it was alright, she waived the cost of my sake and the usual bath tax as a sincere apology. She also gave me extra snacks and a bandana as a farewell gift. All the staff at Houraikan are warm, friendly and very thoughtful. For example, once I wanted to use the washing machine but it was being used. One of the staff later went out of his way to knock on my room door to let me know that the washing machine had become available for my use. Furthermore, it was lovely to bathe in the lovely open-air wood bath with such a pleasant smell and to soak in the onsen water while listening to the sound of the majestic ocean as it is so close to the shore. The futon is also something special - they have got the most comfy blanket, futon and pillow. I pray for more people to discover the beauty of Houraikan - it is not just the surrounding ocean that is beautiful, it is more than anything the heart of the people at Houraikan that makes it special! Nothing!
• Kelly (10/5): Relax and enjoy this coziness! - It is a very cozy hotel! I was about to do my laundry but found out somethng went wrong with the washer. The staff helped me to do my laundry and brought my clothes to my room! He went beyond what I was asking for! Much appreciated his effort :)
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Balcony onsen bath and zen garden overlooking the pines and the sea were special. Excellent seafood. Very friendly and helpful staff. 2011 tsunami memorial plaque and bell were poignant.
• Andrew (9/5): Unique experience and excetional beauty on the Sanriku coast - Friendly, well trained staff, excellent quality of food, lovely variety of Yukata. Good video presentation on the 2011 Tsunami, by the friendly host. Location is quiet and peaceful with a beautiful sea view from our bedroom Nothing
• Raphaël (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Perfect place for a weekend getaway, has an open air onsen where you can hear the waves on the shore. - everything. really peaceful location right on the seafront. excellent hotel with wonderful staff and incredible food. n/a
• Madeleine (9/5): A good place, with unbelievable kindness - The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. The onsen is great. It's large, clean, and has a great view of the sea. Not much. When a noise it the room kept me from sleeping, I got a larger room. When leaving, instead of walking the large distance to the station, I was given a ride.
• Emarie (10/5): Exceptional - One of our highlights in Japan
• Celine (10/5): Beautiful Ryokan near the seaside; Amazing Onsen on the last floor. Delicious Food. - Small Ryokan. Well located near the sea. Excellent food. Nice room and wonderful Onsen on the roof with a sea-view. on the evening, we listened to the Lady owner telling us her own story surviving the 2011 tsunami and helping dozen of people the following days. Her story was really emotional and she is a true heroine. I am glad we met her and I am very happy to spend one night in this hotel to help local economy. Nothing
• Martin (9/5): You should visit this Ryokan, a bit remote situated but with very good food and atmosphere - Typical Ryokan, very good Japanese food (dinner and breakfast), very friendly service, clean and tidy, very nice view from the room we have booked and a very nice beach in front of the hotel.
• Matthieu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The property is located right next to the beach, can hear the waves from the open-air bath, which was lovely. It’s clean and well-maintained. The staff are friendly and professional and the food was very delicious. Nothing!
• Danielle (10/5): Nice and relaxing. - Right on the shore line. Beautiful grounds. Free breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast and was very good. Futons were memory foam and comfortable. Very easy to find. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. Everything was very nice and met our expectations.
• Graeme (10/5): Wonderful hospitality - Th location was perfect I was on a work trip to research about the tsunami of 2011.　　The n伊ghtI stayed they had a guest speaker who gave a presentation in Japanese on what happened in Kamaishi on the day of the tsunami which I enjoyed. It was I expected, but just to let people know it is outside the town centre so be aware of that although by car its only 5-10 minutes.
• Bg (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. And I attended the talk that the proprietress gave about the tsunami. It was incredible. We went on a long walk to explore the area… We felt very well taken care of they are hostess. It’s also just an incredible facility. We very much would like to return.
• Gregory (9/5): Superb -
• Graeme (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ooi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julianaurelius (10/5): My special place to go... - One of my favourite ryokan I've ever stayed at - incredibly warm welcome from all staff, beautiful location, incredible backstory and an okami-sama who has become a good friend. The bay is beautiful, the outdoor hotbath deeply relaxing and I will be back again soon.
• Ka (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arielle (10/5): inspirational comeback after tsunami, delicious food, extraordinarily clean, beautiful facilities and remote beach locat - Wow, what a treat. The resilience and personal story of the owner on the triple disaster that saw a tsunami destroy her business and hometown deeply moved me. This hotel is the cleanest I have ever been in and the food might be the best I have ever had in Japan over 19 trips since 2008. The hotel is basically new as is the rest of the town. The tsunami prevention measures and safety plans are palpable everywhere and watching the owner’s presentation with video will shock and horrify you. She is so positive though and there is merchandise in the room that shows her face and the word “fight” to delineate her personal fight to restore her town and business to their formal glory. they also speak of the rugby World Cup which was held in Kamaishi and symbolizes their returns to their new normal after total destruction by the tsunami. They have a room for a single traveler which is super nice. Most places make you pay for double occupancy regardless. the price is super affordable especially considering the high quality of the facilities. the public bath features an indoor and outdoor bath that overlook the sea between a few trees. it’s tranquil and lovely at all times of the day. I was amazed by the food. This is a fishing town so the seafood is super fresh and you can taste the difference. they also had some of the best soy sauce (shoyu) I had ever tasted and I brought a bottle home. I didn’t want to leave. These were among the nicest people and they accommodated a non-Japanese. I will be back because I want to show the resilience to my friends. it’s a great life lesson for how to bounce back after the unimaginable. the proprietor is now one of my heroes. there is nothing not to like. this is located in a remote town so if that’s not your thing then this isn’t for you.
• Jonathan (8/5): Very good - Food, you will like it if you are seafood lover location is a bit far from city but it is quite
• Julianaurelius (10/5): Beautiful ryokan in a stunning location. - Beautiful ryokan, rebuilt after the 2011 tsunami as part of the Kamaishi recovery. Inspiring stories from the owner, a very warm welcome, beautiful hotbaths, and stunning location. Food was great too.
• Gesa (10/5): Ein außergewöhnlich, gastliches Ryokan - Der Aufenthalt im Horai-kan war ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Das Ryokan ist beim Tsunami zum großen Teil zerstört worden, doch alle haben gemeinsam angepackt und schon nach kurzer Zeit ist das Hotel neu aufgebaut worden. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet, die Badebecken sind sehr großzügig besonders das Zedernholzbad mit Blick auf den Ozean ist fantastisch.Das Essen war solch eine Augenweide, liebevoll künstlerisch gestaltet mit 12 verschiedenen Gängen, es ist wirklich jedem zu empfehlen, dort einmal Urlaub zu machen. Die Besitzerin berichtete uns von dem Tsunami und dem Zusammenhalt der Gemeindemitglieder, die überlebt haben. Das war tief beeindruckend. Der Kiefernwald vor dem Hotel hat den Tsunami überstanden. Vor der Betonmauer ist sogar noch ein schmaler Sandstrand erhalten geblieben. Beeindruckend war auch die Tatasache, dass die Bewohner einen eigenen Fluchtweg auf den Berg hinter dem Hotelparkplatz errichtet haben. In diesem Ryokan finden häufig Folkloreveranstaltungen statt, z.B. die Kuromori Kagura Gruppe tritt dort auf. Im Jahr 2019 wird gleich hinter der Bucht im neu errichteten Stadion die Rugby Weltmeisterschaft ausgetragen. Alle Bewohner hoffen von ganzem Herzen auf den Wiederaufbau und den Besuch von vielen Gästen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): レベルの高い宿です。 - 清潔でセンスの良い宿で、フロントの方の対応も良く、気持ち良く滞在できました。お料理のレベルも高く、朝食も最高でした。また利用したくなる宿です。 ただ地酒を期待したのですが、浜千鳥さんだけだったのが少し残念でしたが、地元復興の応援なので仕方ないですね。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 舒適、空間寬敞優美 - 服務貼心
