forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.53 out of 5 (1,102 reviews). Guests praise the views, noting that the rooftop is open so you can watch the sunrise and the morning glow, and the generous range of dishes made with local ingredients, including unusual seafood such as abalone, sea squirt and sunfish. The views from the sea-facing rooms and the open-air bath overlooking the sea also draw praise. Some guests do note points to be aware of in how parts of the meal are served, such as thick batter on the tempura and food arriving cold.

Overview
Ofunato Onsen is a natural hot spring ryokan in Ofunato, Iwate, a 1-minute walk from Ofunato Marumori Station.

For food allergies, the ryokan must be contacted when booking or by the day before.
