Search Your 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.

I stayed here while sightseeing in Ishinomaki. It was within a 10-minute walk from the station, near the downtown area. It was also within walking distance to Ishimori Manga Museum. I had to check in at the previous Grand Hotel. The building felt old, but the room had been renovated and was very clean.

The unit bath was new and comfortable. Breakfast is also very satisfying with fresh salads and bamboo cake. Businessman 々 was confused to eat in a hurry, but it can't be helped because it's not a resort. The walls of the room are still thin and the doors open and close and the sound of the toilet echo. Amenity was sufficient, but the room clothes smelled dry. It is convenient to access ISHINOMAKI station and Tashiro Island ferry stop, but I want you to put a sign on the path that enters from a large road. I also want you to see the hotel name from all sides. At first, it was difficult to find. It is also available from the back side and the convenience store is close. I want two ordinary free PET bottles, although I have one luxury mineral water.

Nice location. Walls are very thin. Next room person knocked the wall few times when I was listening music although the volume wasn’t that bad….
