Hotels With Pool in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

We came here for the local onsen experience, the location is great and it’s just opposite to scenery spots, saving us time and commuting cost. The staff and service is very professional and attentive. The double bed room is spacious, onsen clothes and towels are served. Since the shops and visiting area at Matsushima close as early as 4pm (maybe only in winter?), there’s not much action after that. This hotel experience fill up the time we spend at Matsushima, there’s a little restaurant inside the hotel for people to enjoy food after the onsen. You can also choose to go to family mart which is just 5 minutes walk away, and get whatever food you want.

The hotel offers a free shuttle service to and from Matsushima Station and Matsushima Kaigan Station, which was incredibly convenient for me as I wasn't driving. The hotel is situated on a hillside with beautiful views. I booked a sea-view room, but unfortunately, I was assigned to the second floor, which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, the hotel's ambiance is very relaxing, and a dip in the outdoor hot spring bath was incredibly soothing.

The hotel rooms are small and the price is high. The food is mediocre with limited variety, and the Japanese girls in the restaurant are unsmiling throughout, so their service needs improvement. (Whatever the reason, they must be working hard every day with a long face; poor people!) The open-air bath view is blocked by wooden boards, and there's no shower area, making the experience poor. The water temperature is hot enough. There's a small, decent museum in the lobby. Not recommended!

โรงแรมริมทะเลที่วิวงามมากๆ ห้องกว้างขวางมีห้องอาบน้ำ และห้องสุขาในตัว ที่ระเบียงสามารถเดินออกไปให้อาหารนก Seagull ได้ บินมารอกันเป็นแถว อาหารเย็นที่รวมในค่าโรงแรมก็ดีมาก แต่ไม่รวมค่าเครื่องดื่มที่ต้องจ่ายแยกต่างหาก อาหารเช้าเป็นบุฟเฟ่ต์มีให้เลือกหลากหลายมาก กินจนจุกันไปเลย

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.

Considering the food and drinks (including alcohol) that are free, the value for money seems high. However, even though we booked as a couple, there were only two large yukatas provided... I wish they had been a little more considerate.

The food was okay and reasonably priced, and it might be good for older people.  But the temperature of the women's bath was too hot, which was a real problem. The room was good. 

This hotel is perfect for road trips. It has a ski resort, an indoor hot spring, and a newly renovated outdoor hot spring. There is also a small library where you can relax and have children read books. The outdoor area has a foot bath and you can use the snow bags provided by the hotel free of charge.
