Hamabeno Ryouriyado Houraikan 3 stars

Kamaishi

Hamabeno Ryouriyado Houraikan provides a public bath and an open-air bath, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Kamaishi, 1.3 km from Kamaishi Recovery Memorial Stadium. This 3-star ryokan offers a 24-hour front desk and a lift. There is a restaurant serving Asian cuisine, and free private parking is available. 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.
