Search Onagawa Hotels

Wonderful lodging newly created in 2017 by former owners of five hotels in the fishing town of Onagawa, a city that was devastated by the 3/11/2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. El Faro is unique with trailer homes repurposed into B&B style rooms. El Faro is next to the Onagawa Station on the Ishinomaki Line which connects to Sendai by one transfer to the Senseki Line. The town is almost finished with rebuilding the port area, including a new shopping mall full of gift shops and restaurants, The rooms are clean and well appointed. The breakfast is served by Okasei, a seafood restaurant in the shopping mall; its one of the best hotel breakfasts that Ive enjoyed in all of Japan! Excellent value with beautiful presentation, like in a fine restaurant.

With the reservation on the day, I could only choose a smoking room on other reservation sites, but from the trip.com app, I was able to request a non-smoking room and actually stayed in a non-smoking room. The parking lot is opposite the hotel building and across the road, close and convenient. The room had the minimum necessary facilities and was comfortable. The air conditioning seems to be common in the whole building, and I could only choose the strength of the fan, and I felt a little hot, but I was able to open the window and adjust it, so there is no problem. It seemed to be the best Merritt that it was close to the restaurant in front of the station.

This hotel is good if you stay in ISHINOMAKI! I was recommended and stayed. The room was clean and good. It was just a hot day, so I tried to put in the air conditioner, but there is no air conditioning function! I was a little surprised at this! When I contacted the front desk, he said, ”I'm sorry, but please open the window” ...

It is a business hotel that seems to be run by a gentle couple. I think it is the closest and reasonable hotel to the downtown area of Ishinomaki City. At the time of check-out, I received a handwritten note of thank you for staying and two grains of chocolate, which made me feel relieved.

The place is walkable distance from train station. Accessible food places and 7-11 store. Ishinomaki is quiet and cosy area to stay in. Morning breakfast is nice and check in and out is easy.
