Kesennuma Plaza Hotel

The onsen! Included in the hotel fee, but do note that you have to pay a (cheap) onsen tax. Nice, big room and located near good food places. Staff are really friendly and really helpful even though they don't speak very much English (but Google translate suffices). Free shuttle bus service to Kesennuma station (and I think even to Sendai station). The restaurant is pretty good too! (Better than some of the ones near the fish markets)

The hotel, located uphill has a nice view of the bay and bridge linking the mainland and Kesennuma Oshima. Both breakfast & dinner were sumptuous. Although I booked a Japanese room, the staff kindly accommodated my request for a western room as my husband was nursing a persistent backache

I loved the views, the location, the onsen, and the friendly staff. The room was large, clean and traditional, very comfortable and quiet.

The breakfast was excellent.
