Ishinomaki – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

This local ryokan has real character, decorated from walls to ceiling with colourful posters and various toys of Japan, from classic to manga. The manager couple are just as nice. She had written out a welcome with basic information in Spanish for me, as my reservation shows it as country of origin. The room is comfortable, complete with towel and pyjamas, plus a water kettle and cup with teabags. If you're on foot, it's 27 min to Ishinomaki station and 18 min to Haneda station- the latter gets you the Matsushima-Kaigan.

The owners are clearly committed to sustainable living and care about the area, organizing beach clean-ups and other events, and reminding guests of the impact of their decisions on the environment. The rooms are simple and basic, but everything is of good quality and comfortable: furniture, lighting, bedding, etc. The common room and the kitchen are very cozy, practical and well-stocked. Great place to learn about other community initiatives in the area.

I like the place but it was a little bit strange; it is an old building that has been reformed in order to make it a guest house; unusual but ok.
