Hot Spring Hotels in Sendai

The hotel exceeded my expectations; everything was excellent. Upon entering the lobby, the staff were attentive, friendly, and polite. The room felt like a cozy Japanese home. After dinner, as soon as I entered the room, the staff had already laid out the tatami mats and provided hot green tea. I was also very satisfied with the onsen (hot spring bath). The changing area was clean, and there were many pools to choose from, both large and small, as well as a private tub. There was also a sauna, which remained open until 1 AM.

The best accommodation in Sukunami hot springs. Huge rooms with western beds and Japanese influences. The dinner and breakfast buffets included are out of this world! The public baths are spectacular, especially the outdoor rock onsens are a destination on their own. Free flow of drinks and popsicles at the two lounges Shuttle to and fro the hotel can be arranged at 40Yen per way. This hotel is really in the middle of nowhere and it's a 5 min drive from Sukunami JR Station. The entire property has been recently renovated and reopened in Apr 2025, so the facilities are sparkling new and luxurious.

The hotel thoughtfully arranges round-trip transfers from the station and a warm welcome in the lobby. The open-air bath faces the Hirose River, which makes bathing in the hot springs feel leisurely. The indoor bath is spacious and luxurious, and you can enjoy the snow scenery outside the large bright glass window. The warm yukata jacket is comfortable and beautiful. Dinner and breakfast for one stay and two meals are all buffet, and the dishes are made with fresh ingredients and are simple and delicious. A variety of handmade coffees, teas, wines and snacks are provided in the lobby leisure area. You can taste them quietly and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. You will not feel bored if you are active in the hotel all day long. It is a hot spring hotel worth a return visit.

We came to Akiu mainly to see Lu Xun's former residence, but the hotel itself was also great. Although there wasn't much of a view outside the window, Akiu Great Falls is just a short drive away. The front desk gave me a room on the top floor. The food, especially, deserves a special mention. My boyfriend ate 6 plates of the freshly grilled beef tongue, but he was still outdone by the Japanese gentleman next to us – I counted, he had 7 plates! I won't post other pictures as I see everyone else has posted plenty; I'll just share one of the massage chair. You can enjoy the view while getting a massage. It's very quiet during the day, and you can use it as much as you like without needing coins, which is much more generous than many other hotels. The parking lot is also spacious, so there's no need to worry about not finding a spot if you return late.

The hotel room was incredibly spacious. The onsen (hot springs) boasted 7 different pools, the most I've ever seen at a Dormy Inn. The bathing facilities were available all night, and of course, Yakult and ice cream were plentiful. They even offered complimentary noodles in the evening. Extremely satisfied!

The staff were friendly, the hotel was grand, the hot spring pools were diverse, the breakfast and dinner were plentiful and included local specialties, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. I stayed at the Kagetsu-kan and was very happy with the room with a bed.

Stayed one night in the main building. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with good amenities. Our package included both buffet breakfast and dinner, which was a nice touch. At check-in, guests are asked to select their preferred dining times. Since the restaurant can get quite busy, I recommend choosing the earliest slot for a more relaxed experience. The onsen facilities were decent and provided a chance to unwind. Overall, it was an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

The hotel staff are friendly, polite and helpful. The dinner dishes are exquisitely presented, and the breakfast buffet has a wide selection of food. The bedroom facilities are complete and tidy, and the wet and dry toilets are separated. The hot springs are comfortable, but you need to walk up more than 40 stairs to get to the outdoor open-air bath. The only drawback was that the toilet could not be flushed. After calling the staff, they immediately provided assistance but could not repair it immediately. In the end, I had to use the toilet in another room. 

Very historical hotel, but unfortunately the surrounding area is too desolate, there is no scenic spot that can be reached on foot, there was originally a cherry blossom road, but the trees were also cut and replanted. Should not come again

I've stayed here about 5 or 6 times now, and every visit, the cleanliness is impeccable and the service is excellent. The staff's polite language and their commitment to ensuring guests never feel uncomfortable truly put me at ease. This time, for the first time, I opted for a room-only stay as I wanted to enjoy a relaxing hot spring trip without any interference. (Previously, my best friend and I always chose plans with breakfast and dinner.) This kind of stay is also very reasonable, and given the reliable service, I'll continue to choose Rantei for all my future visits to Akiu Onsen, rather than trying other inns. Having just turned 60, I'm not sure how many more times I'll be able to visit... Thank you so much for everything.
