[Shiogama City] Roopt Shiogama Kaigandori

A guesthouse is a type of accommodation that has its own unique charm, different from traditional hotels or resorts.

Guesthouses offer these attractions:

① Often cheaper than hotels

One of the attractions is that, depending on the guesthouse, it is often cheaper than staying in a hotel.

If you're staying for multiple nights or moving from place to place, cheap accommodation is a welcome relief for travelers, isn't it?

Please check the official websites of each guesthouse for detailed prices.

② Opportunities for interaction with travelers and local residents

Guesthouses are places where travelers from all over Japan, and even the world, gather, and they are also open to the local community, so interaction naturally occurs.

Many travelers become regulars, get recognized, and integrate into the local community.

This is a charm not found in hotels or pensions.

③ Each guesthouse has its own individuality

Each guesthouse has a different interior and exterior, as well as a different community atmosphere, and this individuality is one of its charms.

Finding your "favorite guesthouse" as you travel is one of the true pleasures of traveling.

[Kesennuma City] SLOW HOUSE

SLOW HOUSE is a guesthouse in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, that opened in 2022 after renovating an empty house.

As the name suggests, it is a guesthouse with the theme of "slow," creating a place where you can slowly re-examine your own richness and meet reliable friends.

The owner of SLOW HOUSE actively accepts young people who "want to do something but have no idea what" and calls them "lodgers," actively providing them with opportunities for activities and human connections.

One of them, as of 2023, is in charge of community management and preparing breakfast for guests at SLOW HOUSE, and even holds pop-up cafes in the local area irregularly.

By the way, SLOW HOUSE's Instagram content is interesting and popular with young people, so be sure to check that out too.

Because they value interaction while eating, they have eliminated the room-only plan and operate as a "guesthouse where everyone eats dinner together," including locals.

Also, since spring 2023, they have opened a Note account, and the poetic content of the articles makes me, as the writer, want to meet the person behind it.

When staying in Kesennuma, please consider Kakehashi first.
