Hanamaki City in Iwate Prefecture is known as the hometown of Kenji Miyazawa and is a healing town with rich nature and culture. Dotted with hot springs, literature museums, and spots where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, it is the perfect place for a quiet and relaxing trip. We would like to introduce you to Cafe Restaurant B&B Murali, located in the suburbs of Hanamaki, surrounded by rice paddies and pine forests.

Hanamaki's nature-inspired BURARI

Murali is a B&B style café-restaurant (a small lodging facility that includes accommodation and breakfast) located in a quiet rural area surrounded by rice paddies and pine forests. In the warmth of the wooden interior, you can enjoy seasonal dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Iwate, carefully prepared one dish at a time. We are also particular about our garden, and you can enjoy your meal on the terrace while admiring nature in each of the four seasons. Enjoy a walk in the season when there is no snow, or spend time relaxing outside the window from inside the restaurant with its wood-burning stove, feeling the seasons with all five senses.
