菊地旅館-Kikuchi Ryokan- 1.59

Kikuchi Ryokan is an eighty years old inn situated near the Kyukitakami River of Ishinomaki City in Japan. It has welcomed many visitors with its warm hospitality and homely atmosphere.

The Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami happened on March 11, 2011 has severely destroyed the inn in which the owner of Kikuchi Ryokan had thought of closing down the business, just like all the other neighborhood hotels and inns. However, many requests from travelers and heartfelt supports of the volunteers encouraged the owner to stand up and restart the business again. Finally one year after the disaster, Kikuchi Ryokan eventually reopened with expectations toward the reconstruction of Ishinomaki City and the revival of its tourism.

Today, Kikuchi Ryokan serves as a lodge for anyone who has interest to visit Ishinomaki City with the anticipation on its restoration.
