Was here for a conference, and spent a great time refreshing myself too. The location is a bit out of the way, but that’s a plus!Building is comfortable but old and Wi-Fi is not available apart from meeting rooms and the lobby, but that’s fine. Food was great, delicious and plentiful; onsen was very relaxing and staff were all very helpful.

I enjoyed doing hanami and hot spring with my family. The cherry blossom which to see while soaking hot spring was the most beautiful event ever in my life. Then I thought I wanna share what I did at that time to everyone!!! It's common for you guys but for us, it isn't you know?!?

1st visit.I went on a day trip plan that included lunch! The room was clean and had a great view. Yukata were also prepared and I thought it was amazing even though it was a day trip.Lunch was at the cafeteria. Shokado bento had a gentle taste and was very delicious! The sashimi, tempura, especially the simmered taro, mushroom rice, and pickles were very delicious. Pure Japanese food is great. We also had coffee after the meal, which was very relaxing.I wonder if the bathroom can't be helped because the building is old? I thought so, but the hot water was just right.It's not luxurious, but the price was very low and it was a great deal. I want to go again.✳︎✳︎♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡Second visit! Today was the Christmas lunch buffet.It's hard to tell because the photo only shows plates, but there were more types of dishes than I expected. Especially the freshly fried tempura is delicious! That's what my family said.Luxury roast beef, roast chicken, things like eggplant lasagna (cheese was light and delicious), shrimp chili, sashimi, Japanese, Western, and Chinese. Chocolate fondue for dessert? , panna cotta, pudding, tiramisu, etc.I enjoyed the seafood escabeche, round tart quiche, soba noodles, and beef tongue stew!The fried squid was soft, and so was the shrimp tempura, but I was happy that they used fresh instead of frozen!The sashimi is delicious, and the tuna and white meat are both raw and delicious.Speaking of greed, I often ran out of plates, and I wish there was a place to put down the dishes so I could use them myself.My family said they wanted white rice.It was 3,000 yen, and there was also a lottery where my family won. Things like this also make me feel happy.We also have a hot spring bath. There is also a rest room. I want to do it again next year. In any case, the staff may not be used to this type of thing, but I was impressed by how hard they worked. thank you for helping me.

A day trip bathing plan with a private room. The hot spring is not very large, but it is refreshing. The rooms are not new, but they are clean and have a tea set and TV. The meal is a Shokado bento box with sashimi, tempura, and fruits, along with a small bowl of tuna and salmon roe, soup, and coffee. The price is very satisfying and reasonable!Of course, there is Wi-Fi!The hot springs are nearby and easy to get to!It was a day that satisfied both my heart and my stomach. It is good~!

I used it for a lunch buffet that included a bathing ticket. As you would expect from an inn that prides itself on its food, the tempura fried right in front of you was not particularly greasy, crispy and delicious, and you could eat as many pieces as you wanted. The Japanese mousse for dessert was also elaborate and delicious, and even though I ate a lot, it didn't feel too bad, making it a very satisfying buffet.Although the bathroom was small, it was kept clean, and the staff were all very friendly.It was an inn that I would like to visit again.

I went there for the morning bath (400 yen), which is only available from 6am to 9am.Even though it's a Saturday, there aren't many people in the bathhouse, and depending on the timing, it can be almost reserved for private use.There are two hot springs, but the Natori-kan public bath has an open-air bath and I felt more comfortable.It's not that big, the washing area can accommodate about 6 to 7 people, and the bathtub can fit 10 people in total inside and outside, so it might feel cramped.The water was clear and pleasant.The inside of the hotel has the atmosphere of an old hotel, and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.There is also a conference room for rent, so on the day I went there, there were people using that as well.By the way, I asked at the front desk, but it seems that there is no bicycle parking lot. I went there by bicycle and parked it in the corner of the parking lot.P.S.: According to a comment from the facility staff, it is okay to park your bicycle near the entrance.

Great daytime BBQ! ! . The meat is grilled over charcoal in a place with a beautiful view of the river, and served with vegetables and sweet potato stew, making it even more filling.There is a roof so even a little rain is not a problem. I was warned at the front desk not to go down into the river, so I looked at it from a distance, and I could see fish jumping in the river.The price is low even though it includes day trip bathing. Next time I'd like to stay overnight and go to a barbecue. (It's a pity that I couldn't make imoni because I was closed for about 2 months due to Corona, but it's starting again!)

The Sendai Minami Interchange is right next to it, so it's convenient for staying overnight while on the move. Although it is an old facility, the rooms are comfortable even with children. I think it will be beautiful from now on when the cherry blossoms and trees put on their leaves. It may be because of last year's typhoon, but there is a river, but it looks like there is some construction going on. The hot springs were hot enough for small children to bathe in, so it was nice. The staff's response was good. There is no bath in the room.

The open-air bath that you can bathe in while soaking in the morning sun was very nice, but you can take a bath from 5:30, so I wish it would open a little earlier.This was my first experience and I was surprised that even though I was a hotel guest, I had to pay for a refill of rice (¥110).Very good for a walk. There are rivers and mountains nearby, so you can take a walk. There is also a barbecue area where you can enjoy various things.There is an ashtray in the room, which is rare these days even though it is a three-person room, but the ventilation fan is not very efficient.

Although it can't be helped that the facility is old, the food is excellent ❗Dinner is a full course Italian meal, and breakfast is so delicious that you can't finish it all. It was a great satisfaction. I heard that he was an Italian chef who once worked at Sendai Katsuyamakan❗It's worth coming all the way to try the food.
