  • This time I took the Shinkansen to Sendai and used the free Shuttle Service bus from Sendai Station for a round trip.After arriving, I had a beer, and at dinner I ate and drank as well. I also got to use the pool, so I was very satisfied.Since I was traveling alone, my Room was a single and felt a bit small, but next time I'd like to go with friends and try staying in a larger Room.I'd like to visit again.

  • From arrival to departure, we fully enjoyed the all-inclusive experience. After checking in from the hot outdoors, the beer we had right away in the lounge was amazing. Dinner was a relaxing time with international cuisine and delicious drinks. The Onsen features two large open-air baths, perfect for unwinding. After dinner, the lounge offers sake, shochu, and local cream cheese. Breakfast also had such a wide variety that we ended up eating until we were full again. This is a Hotel you’ll want to visit again.
