DAY 432

Every long-standing company has its own unique characteristics.

Today, I would like to introduce a popular hostess that everyone knows, “Kesenuma-chan.”

“Our goal is not to expand in size, but to provide services that truly satisfy each and every guest,” says her husband (the second-generation owner), who runs the business with the whole family. Fresh local cuisine (seafood), a location with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean (sunrise), clean facilities (toilets and baths), a night bus tour (with the second-generation owner’s microphone performance), and a morning market (selling mekabu, seaweed, and hijiki)… Despite overcoming various hardships such as the great earthquake and COVID-19, the staff’s heartfelt kindness, always putting the customer first, left a lasting impression during our two-day stay.

In the morning, I woke up refreshed to the sound of waves and the call of pheasants.

The reason why this inn continues to be loved by many is immediately apparent once you stay there. This long-established inn, which has been in business for over 50 years on Oshima Island in Kesennuma City, comes highly recommended.
