Good bath & rotemburo for day trip - water was good if unremarkable, but the views of the forest and the sunny outdoor section were nice. Faculties fairly new, free locker for your bags - but only small towel for rent, not a big towel. Solid option, would repeat if in town again.

I searched for hot springs around Sendai and ended up here.We have a special plan for solo travelers, so it's great to feel like you're welcome as well.The building has a retro atmosphere, but perhaps the inside has just been renovated, and both the guest rooms and the dining venue were very clean!Also, the food was very delicious and plentiful.There are two large public baths: a marble bath and a view bath.There was an open-air bath in the observation bath.There are also two private open-air baths.If one is vacant, anyone can enter without a reservation.The other option was a paid reservation system.I took the opportunity to take a bath in all of them.We also offer welcome drinks and after-meal drinks in the lounge.When we checked out, we even received a hotel-made croissant as a souvenir.When I checked in, I was asked what my plans were after checking out, and when I told them I was making a reservation for a tour of Nikka's brewery, they took me to Nikka!Service and cost performance are good!If I have a chance, I would like to visit you again.

Dinner and breakfast were both rich and delicious.There are indoor, outdoor and open-air hot springs, as well as an open and closed hot spring bath.The rooms are clean and well managed.We stayed two days in a row, and the food on the second day was changed. It was very thoughtful and had a French feel.There is a welcome drink and there are all kinds of alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks in the lobby lounge in the evening. It feels so relaxing and quaint.Check out and there are croissants as small gifts.The check-in experience was very good.

I used it for a day trip.As a hot spring, the water feels like it's on par with Sakaku, and the water doesn't get cold easily. It seems that there are hot springs that can be reserved for private use, but for a day trip, the 4th floor public bath and open-air bath are sufficient.The building is surrounded by nature and has open views in all directions, making it a relaxing place to stay.Also, you can probably play a very retro Famicom.
