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.

Enjoyed hot spring even for a short visit.
I stayed by myself for a business. The food was great, room was very clean, spa was so relaxing. I would stay there again!

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).

가족여행
몸의 통증 때문에 밤에 자주 깨는데 온천과 편안한 잠자리로 아침까지 숙면했어요. 고풍스러운 호텔 분위기에 맛있는 석식과 조식도 참 좋았어요. 가족과 다시 방문 할 생각이예요. 직원분들도 너무 친절합니다. 고맙습니다^^
