Very luxurious room, very friendly and helpful staff, outstanding breakfasts (both Japanese and English), very relaxing indoor and outdoor onsens.

Located in Miyagi Japan, this Onsen (hot spring) Ryokan is an excellent choice and easy to reach from Sendai. Very helpful owners, superb local food, and good location. Price is competitive.
