Mitsui Garden Hotel Sendai

I’m visiting again because when I stayed here last year on a scorching 36°C day in Sendai, I was truly moved by this oasis-like space I finally arrived at. This time, Sendai—the City of Trees—was a cool 26°C. The Hotel still had that wonderful fragrance that made me want to take a deep breath, and I was so happy to be able to return. The Room was clean, and the bath area—with a shampoo bar and an open-air bath—was incredibly soothing after work. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of options; the pleasantly chewy wakame seaweed in the miso soup, sasa-kamaboko fish cake, Sendai-fu wheat gluten, and zunda tiramisu were all delicious—I felt so happy. Thank you for the staff’s hard work and warm hospitality. If I have another chance to visit Sendai, I would love to stay here again.

A pleasant fragrance filled the elevator, hallways, and Room, which made the stay very comfortable. In older Hotels, even if the elevator and hallways were labeled “non-smoking,” there were places where you could still smell stale tobacco odors soaked into the walls and floors, which was unpleasant. However, this Hotel had a genuinely nice scent throughout and felt better than any Hotel I’ve stayed at before. If I had to mention one thing, we stayed in a twin Room with two people, but the beds took up most of the space, so there wasn’t much room for luggage or for relaxing. For meals, because the Western-food area and Japanese-food area were separated, it was hard to serve food onto one plate. It would be easier to understand if the side-dish section were combined in one place.
