Overall the property is nice, but could use a re-fresh and some renovation. Everything appears to be a little dated in the common areas (couches, carpet, rugs, etc) The staff is incredibly friendly, polite and helpful and the best part of the stay.

Perfect stay in “Hidden Japan”

Really nice onsen hotel in a rather remote area of Japan. Typical Japanese hospitality, where everybody went out of their way to do their absolutely best

Spend more time Sendai

From the moment we walked to the door someone was already running to our aid to help with the luggage. This treatment continued during our whole stay, everyone went out of their way to make us feel special. The hot springs and massage were the ultimate in relaxation. We found the food outstanding. To get the most out of your stay you must share a song on the karaoke! This was the most relaxing and fun time of our trip to Japan. My only regret was that we did not spend more time in Sendai.

Very upscale

Rather like taking a Ryokan experience and superimposing a luxury spa. We did not even manage to get our bags into the entry without having a young attendant in kimono insist upon her loading them into a luggage cart and bringing them inside for us. Staff had very little English but made every effort to make our sign-in seamless. We had a traditional tatami room, which was more like a small house in scale. The onsen experience was delightful. Breakfast and dinners we took in the Japanese restaurant, all top quality. We were the only non-Japanese guests (at least, we never saw any others). Our room had traditional floor seating but also a sitting area next to the balcony with regular chairs/table, lovely view and very quiet (at least until the buses started their motors in the morning).

スタッフの皆さんどの方も笑顔で親切素晴らしい対応でした。大浴場、客室、その他施設の清潔さもとても快適で全般贅沢な時間を過ごさせて頂きました。特にオールインクルーシブは短い滞在において支払いを気にせず好きな量を好きなだけ何度でも利用出来るとても魅力的な取り組みだと思います。だだひとつ送迎バスは行きは荷物が積めなくて座席脇に積み上げる事になり大変危険な思いをした事、帰りのバスでは遅延に怒りだしたお客様がいてせっかく過ごした良い時間が台無しになるほど嫌な気持ちになった事、少し残念な感じです。もう少しゆとりのある対応をお考えいただけたら良いかもしれません。
