Tama Hotel

We loved the owner. You can see he really really loves what he does. He is the best!
He took us to the restaurant and back, took us to get the ferry boat and back, took us to a pastry shop, explains a bit about the area….and he fosters cats and gives a lot of love. Everything in the hotel is about cats….and Elvis!

The wonderful hosts. The cats next door. Super large apartment and very clean.

Owner was so nice and gave us a little tour before driving us to the port to see the Cat Island

L’accueil par le propriétaire.

とても快適です。
特に猫好きにはおすすめです。

Loved all the cats and how nice the owner is!

Endroit parfait pour visiter l’île aux chats : un hôte très attentionné, patient et qui nous a aidés dans tous nos déplacements

Notre passage au Tama Hotel restera l'un de nos meilleurs souvenirs au Japon.
Le patron a fait preuve d'une immense gentillesse, et a été plus qu'aux petits soins avec nous.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'écouter nous partager sa passion pour les chats, des histoires sur le Japon et en particulier la ville d'Ishinomaki. Il nous a également conseillé un incroyable Izakaya où nous avons pu déguster des produits locaux délicieux.
Un homme rare, comme on en rencontre peu.
Si nous avons l'occasion de revenir au Japon, il serait impensable de ne pas revenir au Tama Hotel.

The host was extremely nice. He insisted on taking us to, and from the harbour (we went to the cat island). He also gave us a ride to one of the izakayas we had selected. Highly recommend.

A fantastic place to stay. A unique experience to be able to hang out with the cats and a very comfortable hotel. The owner/managers and very kind and helpful and have thought of everything to ensure a great stay. The lifts to and from the ferry to Tashiro island, with a stop for baked goods, the bicycles available to borrow and the overall kindness is wonderful, Definitely a place to stay for a unique Japanese experience.

Chambre assez grande, plus que ce qu’en disait l’annonce (15 m2 environ au lieu de 9). Pas de bruit le soir de mon séjour. Petit coin cuisine. Parking facile.

The owner is hands-down the best thing about this property. He has a fantastic system for translating into English and is so incredibly warm, generous and welcoming. As my husband said, ‘He is just the nicest guy!’ He took us to and from the cat island and that eased a lot of our worries. Also - cats! It’s a cat hotel with a lot of cats living there. That was also a great feature of this hotel.

猫ちゃんがたくさんおり、人懐っこい猫ちゃんだった！
一緒には寝れないが、触れ合う時間はとても長くできる！

The room was comfortable and perfect for our short trip to Ishinomaki. The host was so welcoming and helpful with getting us to and from Cat Island. We also spent time in the cat cafe and helped feed the cats! I highly recommend this place especially if you want to visit Cat Island.

You can tell that the property owner loves what he does. The best time to see the cats is during dinner time, otherwise they seemed to prefer to keep to themselves. The owner provides snacks, free wine, and more manga than you could read in a month. Clean bathroom and kitchen in the provided room.
