Vakantiewoningen met open haard in Iwate

This was such a wonderful find on Airbnb. Yoshinobu san helped explain all the details and arranged the details. It is a ryokan in the hills above the town of Rikuzentakata. From the moment you arrive the staff will make you feel right at home. The rooms are clean and big with beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. We had western style rooms. We stayed for two nights and had four amazing meals. Make sure to reserve the special breakfast and dinner sets at least once: Traditional Japanese dishes with very fresh ingredients. After dinner each night we loved going to the onsen and having a soak. It’s open until 10 pm. There’s also a relaxing lounge which is also home to two well behaved cats Momiji and Sakura! You can get there by Shinkansen to Ichinoseki station. You can continue by train/bus and get picked up but we rented a car from Times at Ichinoseki Station (recommended). There are many things to see : Hiraizumi, Michinoku Coastal Trail, Iwate Tsunami Memorial Museum.

我是來自台灣的旅客，入住了兩個晚上。房子無論是外觀還是內部構造都像是藝術品一般，我們一家7人在這裡住得很舒適。由於是與屋主共用空間，屋主的房間、專用冰箱與部分餐具是不能使用的，但是有提供客人所需的冰箱跟餐具，對我們而言其實相當足夠應付，以上是1樓的部分；2樓樓梯上來有個休憩區，2片大片玻璃的窗戶無論是一早還是傍晚都很適合坐在窗邊欣賞窗外的鄉村風情，地板的空間也足夠一群人圍坐在地板玩桌遊。 很有趣的是，我們在check out準備前往機場搭機的早上發現爆胎，Hal協助我們與租車與保險公司溝通，在日本東北真的很需要日語，很多時候英語其實不是這麼方便，後續保險公司很快地從盛岡派車來更換車胎，我們才得以順利趕上回台灣的飛機，真的很感謝Hal在危急時刻提出協助，也讓我們一家人在雨天時進到屋中躲雨等待救援。
