Ofunato Plaza Hotel

"We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. It would be wonderful if the hotel had a public bath or hot spring. The property is close to a number of dining options, all within walking distance."

Ofunato Onsen

"Ofunato Onsen is a seaside ryokan-style hotel overlooking Ofunato Bay in Iwate Prefecture. Opened in 2014 as part of the region’s post-2011 tsunami recovery, it combines modern comfort with traditional Japanese hospitality. The hotel has about 58–69 rooms depending on room classification sources, nearly all with ocean views. Its biggest highlight is the natural open-air onsen facing the Pacific Ocean, especially famous for sunrise views over the bay. The fresh Sanriku seafood dinners were great. What amazed me was that they cleaned the soil from my bamboo walking staff when I placed it overnight at the hotel entrance umbrella stand."

"I used this hotel for the KESEN ROCK FESTIVAL. It was new and very clean, and there was a shopping facility opposite, so it was very convenient. There was a welcome drink server in the lobby, and they even provided sports drinks and chilled jelly to prevent heat stroke. The amenities were great, and the large public bath was great for relaxing. The breakfast buffet also offered a variety of Japanese, Western and Chinese food, and everything was delicious. I stayed at a different hotel the next day, but realized I'd left something here, so I called and they were very polite and kept it for me. I'm very grateful. The photo is the view from my room."

"We used it without meals, the building was new, clean and comfortable, there was a convenience store nearby, and I didn't feel any inconvenience."
