Great location, nice room and facilities. The only complaint - the WiFi is more or less nonexistent. So it comes with a digital detox bonus ;)

It's a tranquil place. Everything is perfect - the only negative is some peeling wallpaper in the rooms, but that's nitpicking. It's a large room within walking distance of the station and the museums.

I liked the traditional experience but the room needs some cosmetic maintenance. Touching up the paint and repairing a little of the wooden skirting. You DO need to pre-book for dinner, but e we found a great little place just a short walk away in the town.

It located on a hill, about 15-20 mins walk from Matsushimakaigan Station. Along the way, you find shops & restaurants. There’s a ferry pier & a park, temples & a museum. You can also walk from Matsushima Station, however, I prefer Matsushimakaigan as there’re more to see. The hotel offers free shuttle pick up & drop off which is a plus.

A bit disappointing
A bit of an old hotel, so the condition wasn't great, but that's to be expected. What was dissapointing was the level of service. Things were constantly forgotten. First day they cleaned the room but didnt replace towels or Yukata. Second day they completely didnt clean the room, but did leave a little 'tea sweet'. Also quite annoying that they insisted to copy the resident card (something that is not needed for residents)

Although this accomodation seemed a little dated, it rpovided a fantastic experience of an onsen. WE had a Japanese speaker wth us so that was useful in terms of understading aspects of the stay. THe dinner was a stand-out experience of traditional Japanese style dining. Good location, within walking distance of the waterfront etc.

A Japanese experience for sure.
This is a 100% Japanese hotel for Japanese tour groups and events. Essentially no English is spoken. You had better be able to sit comfortably cross-legged or you will be very uncomfortable while packing and unpacking, using your computer, or anything else in your room. Breakfast extensive but mediocre by Japanese standards. Heat, AC, and wifi is centralized so quality varies by room in the old fashioned way. Lots of dings on the walls. Renovation overdue. Some Japanese luxuries such as dinner in separate compartments if you pay for dinner.

comfortable, but a bit overpriced
--rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the condition is a bit worn down, which was a bit disappointing given the cost of the place --the food was not that good, and again this was a bit disappointing given the cost --the outdoor hot spring was terrific --service is good --I'm not sure this is advertised well online, but I believe that the hot spring is not a natural one -- this is something I learned only when I arrived in Matsushima, but I should also say that I'm not entirely sure what a non-natural hot spring is.

Excellent Japanese Restaurant
Looks like Mom & Pop B and B from photos but it is a large hotel on the hill with fantastic views. Very Japanese. Excellent dinner in the restaurant and good Japanese breakfast. Very little English spoken but very helpful staff. Free rides to and from train station. Very quiet and relaxing
