Beautiful property. Wonderful staff. All very helpful and friendly. The public baths were wonderful. Outside baths were 2 different scenarios, one was gorgeous with five separate river rock soaking areas overlooking the river and forest, the other was 1 wooden tub in a small pavilion. Women have the beautiful spot afternoon/evening and swap with the men in the morning. Our room was very large and comfortable with a balcony and private soaking tub. The buffet style dinner and breakfast were delicious. Huge variety of freshly prepared foods. All you could eat and drink, beer, wine, various alcohol, sake, in the restaurant. The reception area had a piano, wood burning central fireplace to sit around. There were small tables with various board games, a library, snacks, beer and wine. Comfortable seating overlooking the hillside that was lit up at night. Very romantic spot to go for a special night.

    Love hot springs! If you got a car probably better to get around the area. Have outlets nearby great shops and food courts. walking distance, but we were there when raining and windy. Clean room, big comfy bed, helpful staff and free ice blocks for kids free washing machines just pay for dryers.

    The entrance to the metro & underground food, restaurant & shopping area is across the street, so very convenient. The spa hot spring 'onsen' bath (Not included in room price) has also a steamroom: it looks modern, well maintained and although not that large, it is very nice.

    It was a short walk away from the station but it is a good location, rooms were a nice size and they were very kind to check in our luggage early. They also were very in kind arranging our luggage to be sent to the next hotel via takuhaibin. There was a great range of facilities like an onsen, restaurant and Laundry room which was very useful. We enjoyed our stay there a lot.

    Amazing amenities and classy atmosphere, albeit a little expensive. Piano and organ performances in the morning and evenings, with free snacks in the evening. Lovely onsen on the top floor, great in winter. Washer and dryer were cheap too, 300 yen total.

    Location was good. Walkable from Sendai station. Just be aware, if you have large suitcases, you'll have to approach from across the street or you'll end up taking the overpass walk bridge. Having onsen was great feature. Cleaning staff were friendly and said goodmorning daily. Family mart on site is a bonus!

    I was looking for an accommodation to visit old friends living in Sendai. The ryokan's location was exceptionally convenient, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the ryokan itself is really cute. We loved that we were able to book the onsen for private use at a set time, that allowed my husband and I to use it together (please be aware that as a consequence, onsens may not be available due to private reservations, better check during check-in!) We will absolutely try to stay there next time we go to Sendai.

    The hotel was really great for the price. Everything is traditional Japanese; tatami everywhere and you take your shoes off right at the entrance rather than walking to your room with them. Onsen is not tattoo-friendly so I did not use, but I went to Yamagata one day to use the hot spring there instead. Breakfast was terrific, with many small plates to try lots of the food of Sendai. The staff was extremely helpful, and gave me suggestions for where to eat harakomeshi.
