Bento lunch

I don’t know the name of this ryokan-restaurant, but it is just on the road leading out from Oirase stream. It’s quite a big complex with an impressive lobby.Comes complete with wedding chapel too!

We stopped for lunch here. Food was good although I was holding back to keep my stomach for the next stop at Hasshoku Center in Hachinohe.

What I liked more was the parkland setting of the ryokan, right next to the Oirase stream – or river!
