Jodogahama Park Hotel

My stay at Jodogahama Park Hotel was absolutely wonderful. Located near the beautiful Jodogahama Beach, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the Sanriku coastline and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxing. The private in-room bath with an ocean view was a true highlight. Soaking in the warm water while watching the waves and coastline was incredibly calming — a perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully designed with traditional Japanese touches. I really appreciated the quiet and serene environment. Dinner was served buffet-style and exceeded my expectations. There was a wide variety of dishes, including fresh local seafood, regional specialties, and both Japanese and Western options — all delicious and well-prepared. Breakfast was equally satisfying, with plenty of choices to suit any taste. The staff were kind, attentive, and made every effort to ensure a comfortable stay. Their hospitality added so much to the experience. Overall, Jodogahama Park Hotel combines stunning views, great food, and relaxing accommodations. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a magnificent hotel at a magnificent location. The views from the lobby are breathtaking, which makes for an impressive arrival. As the hotel doesn't come cheap, we did not book a room with ocean view, so we were suprised that even from the other side of the hotel the ocean was still visible from our room. We had a beautiful, large room with a separate (and comfortabel) sitting area. The futons were very comfortable. The public baths in the hotel are very beautiful. As we used them quite late, we both had the men's and women's bath to ourselves. There's a wonderful outdoor bath (and an indoor bath too), really very beautiful. Jodogahama Beach is a very short walk (less than 10 minutes) through a forested area, and the hotel provides bells to warn off any bears (which seemed a bit excessive to us, but perhaps it's really necessary). The beach is quite beautiful, but also very rocky (it's not a sandy beach at all). Dinner was buffet-style, but of high quality. We loved the fact that there were lots of staff members available to explain all available dishes, and sushi was made freshly on the spot. Breakfast too was very extensive and good.

spectacular location next to Yodogahama Beach - couldn't be closer to the beautiful coastline, but still quiet and idyllic in the forest; breathtaking view from the rooms; very nice Onsen; good buffet breakfast (and dinner, costs extra); shuttle bus to train station for arrival / departure

A special Hotel in a very special place, one of our best stays ever. Prior to our arrival I had arranged with the hotel to be picked up from the station. As promised a taxi arrived and drove ourselves and a couple of other guests the 15 minutes or so to the hotel. Staff were waiting outside to greet us and show us to reception where checkin was effortless as desk clerk spoke good English. Unusually we weren’t expected to pay or leave a credit card on file, payment is when you leave. We had booked a suite with sea views primarily because we needed western beds and chairs as we feel that sadly, the days of sleeping on the floor are behind us. In fact the rooms are described as The Royal Suite and it lives up to its name. There are three large rooms elegantly furnished. The double aspect room with large windows allowed us to appreciate the spectacular views of the bay, An absolute delight was the wet room with its shower and bathing pool, big enough for two, which afforded a view of the bay. Needless to say everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the wifi worked well, but the star of the room was certainly the view and the strange sense of peace and spirituality, which we both felt. Dinner too was a highlight partly cooked on jot plates at the table it was a feast of food from the sea. We ordered a bottle of white wine to go with the meal. It was Japanese and was, well….. interesting and not unpleasant. The bed was large and comfortable and the view at night with a full moon sparkling on the sea was amazing. The weather was cold with snow on the ground so we did not venture down to the beach. Breakfast was again most enjoyable and all too soon it was time to check out and take the shuttle bus to the station. Our stay was not cheap, but to put it in context much less than an average room in a Tokyo hotel, but considering the space, the excellent food, the service and above all the sense of peace was well worth it. A very special place to stay.

The place is stunning, the restaurant we went to (Japanese) was great, the breakfast as well. The staff was very friendly, all very enjoyable.
