Stay
We have onsens (hot springs) and family-run inns. We have hotels of varying sizes. We have beds as well as futons. We know the spirit of hospitality matters and we strive to show you our gratitude through a heightened sense of awareness of what our customers would appreciate. We also offer home stays with local families. Eat what we eat. Stay in our homes. Interact with us on a one-to-one level and get to know us, our stories, our families. We promise you’ll want to come back.
Home Stay
When people who have visited Rikuzentakata are asked to describe what they loved about the town, the most common reply is that it is full of wonderful people.
In order to truly understand the meaning behind that response, visitors have the option to stay with a local family in a homestay, or minpaku, experience (reservation required.)
Because the homestays take place in ordinary households, they offer an experience wholly different from that of a hotel or traditional Japanese inn. What they lack in luxury, they more than make up for in warmth and personal connections, and all home stay hosts are devoted to the idea of, “If the customer is happy, I am happy.”
Please note that a prior reservation is required to stay in a home stay. Please contact the Rikuzentakata Concierge to make a reservation, or if you have any questions.
