Avoid this old property
Reviewed By TheBlumAfter thoroughly enjoying the Dormy Inn in Morioka I find this old property absolutely dreadful! No security lock box in the room and our room (540) had a sink faucet not secured to the counter. Worst of all was the absolutely HORRIBLE breakfast they served. It defies description when looking forward to a typical Japanese breakfast like they served in Morioka and finding cold scrambled eggs, sliced ham and sausages and a terrible stew. It's back to Mitsui Garden Hotel from now on!

Convenient hotel with very obliging services
Reviewed By fymkongStayed in 432, Basho-Tei floor, with the view of the pine islets. The room was well worth the price - I had upgraded it to this floor. Staff spoke limited English but there is a translation device which assisted in the communication. Worked my way around with my limited Japanese. The private ‘Kagomi’ onsen was luxurious and clean. I did not use the public onsen offered. I also used the shiatsu massage services. Breakfast was a buffet style catering to those with a taste for Japanese and Western cuisine. Went to their first floor restaurant who offered the seasonal speciality (a hotpot of good quality beef and yam) at 1800 jpy It is conveniently located near all the sightseeing spots and Fukuurajima bridge. Everything to see was walkable. Left there well relaxed and taken care of. Recommended for those who want to honeymoon there - ask for the matsu suite.

Off the tourist trail
Reviewed By JehannetonWe looked on Booking.com for a hotel at Zao Onsen and found this one. This is NOT located at Zao Onsen. It’s on the other side of the mountains, and the road to Zao Onsen is inaccessible in winter. This is Miyagi Zao. You’re a bus ride away from the snow fields at Sumikawa Snow Park and actually getting to the hotel requires a bus ride from Sendai that takes more than an hour. The hotel is quite a long way from the small village of Togatta Onsen so, unless you have a car, you are restricted to the restaurants and entertainment at the hotel. The hotel is past its glory days- carpets are stained, linen is worn. This is holiday camp- it’s huge! There is an arcade area for the kids, table tennis, karaoke. If you buy the dinner package, you get a buffet with lots of Japanese choices. Don’t think about trying to buy a ticket on the night though- that caused all sorts of problems for us as staff ran around trying to find a supervisor who could tell them what to do with us. There’s a small Izakaya on site where you can buy yakitori etc. not cheap and there’s no English menu, so you may inadvertently do what we did and buy liver on sticks. The non-liver sticks were delicious, though! Breakfast, again, is buffet style with a lot of Japanese choices and a small choice of Western dishes. Food is good but coffee is awful :-) Hotel staff don’t speak a lot of English- which is fine, but can be a little problematic if you need to book a tour or have something to sort out with your bill. They forgot to charge us for a tour we’d booked and while we were trying to sort it out (choosing to be honest), our bus to Sendai left without us. We had to wait a long hour and a half in the lobby for the next one, which meant we missed our Shinkansen to Tokyo. It’s not a bad place, just past it’s prime and a fair way from the main attractions. We liked the fact that there were virtually no other foreigners there and we were experiencing real Japan. Coin laundry is a real bonus and the rooms are huge, allowing plenty of space to spread out and repack your gear.

One of the jewels of the Tohoku region
Reviewed By KI-NRTWe stayed 3 nights last October as part of an extended road trip through Northern Tohoku, and Chikusenso was definitely one of the highlights. We went there with high hopes and expectations - a modern ryokan with a foreign owner but with Japanese sensibilities and cuisine - can this ryokan merge the best of both worlds? The answer is a definite "yes." First off, this is not a small boutique property - it's midsize by ryokan standards with 30 rooms total. We opted to stay in the Presidential Suite, which is the top room in Chikusenso, and an enormous 116 square meters of goodness. The room afforded absolute privacy in all directions (it's fine to keep the shades open all day and night without any worries) and featured just about any modern convenience and technology that anyone could hope for. While we felt the decor and furniture in the room was a bit strange and not to our tastes, it was nonetheless a comfortable place to relax. The only functional design flaw worth mentioning has to do with the private, outdoor open-air bath. It's not right outside the veranda in the garden, but is instead accessed by going out of the room's front door, down a hallway and a flight of stairs, then by opening a door that requires a key to open - and we were the only guests with a key to the bath. This takes out to a small garden with the "private" onsen bath. It's really a hassle to get to; I'd prefer to strip off my clothes in the room, open the veranda and step right into the bath without having to worry about being seen by anyone throughout the process. The second highest-category room does not have this problem, since it's situated on an upper floor with its open-air bath being on the balcony. Service was courteous, friendly and attentive, but I wouldn't say they went above and beyond the call of duty. For instance, when we told them that we were pondering a drive on the Zao Echo Line (a scenic road nearby) but were concerned about accessibility (it closes at the slightest hint of adverse weather), they said the road conditions get broadcast every morning at 9AM. Wanting to get a head start on the day (in general), we asked if they could call my mobile phone as soon as they found out.... to which they suggested I check a particular website. Also, while they asked us what we planned to do in the area when we arrived, it appeared to be more of a curiosity factor for them, rather than a means to figure out ways to help us. We informed them of our itinerary (more or less), and told them about our intention to visit Miyagi Fox Village on a Wednesday. Well, that's the one day each week that it's closed! Wish they would've proactively checked and/or pointed out this issue so that we would've had a chance to juggle our plans appropriately. Oh well. Food was very good. Executive Chef Kiyokazu Naoi definitely has the skills, and he served up some incredible dishes. It was also not watered down for foreign tastes, much to our relief. For instance, one evening we were treated to a Fugu (poisonous Blow Fish) course. It wasn't ALL Fugu, but it was mostly Fugu, and was excellent. Another meal consisted of a variety of just-made Tempura dishes that was prepared personally by Naoi-san. It was just as innovative and delightful as we could've hoped for. I wouldn't place the dining experience in my all-time top 5, but it's not far off, either. The only bummer was the lack of an option to be served in one's own room like some of the finer ryokans in Japan. One "Western" aspect that I appreciated, that very few Ryokans offer - Chikusenso does laundry/pressing/dry cleaning, surprisingly. Which came in handy since we had been travelling for 5 days prior to our arrival at Chikusenso. This probably has as much to do with its comparatively larger size as anything, but we've been to even larger ryokans that did not provide laundry service. In terms of the overall property and grounds, they did a good job of combining contemporary design (it's a relatively new property) with traditional Japanese as well as local elements to its look and feel. And, overall, it blends in nicely with the serene natural environment that envelops the property grounds. We were surprised at the high price of Chikusenso given its location, but if you have plans to tour the Tohoku region, it should definitely be on your bucket list if you're willing to splurge somewhat.

Good price for an onsen (hot springs) hotel
Reviewed By joshel2016The sea view from the Ubudo windows is not the best view in Matsushima, as you are looking past the slightly grimy fishing port to the beautiful pine-covered islands, but the rooms are large and traditionally Japanese without being oppressively so. For example, they have many sizes, shapes and colors of traditional clothing (yukata, samue) to wear inside the hotel, even sizes large enough for my husband and me. We got one of the Japanese style rooms with a pottery bathtub--like sitting in a huge teacup--and if you like Japanese baths it was worth the extra price. The rooftop communal bath is also supposed to be beautiful, but with our in-room bath we didn't need it. The two included meals--dinner and breakfast--were lavish, beautifully presented, and excellent if you like Japanese food. If you don't like (all) Japanese food, you might want to find a hotel that allows you to order off a menu. Bottom line: there are probably better hotels in Matsushima-kaigan, with equally nice communal baths, and less obstructed views of the islands, but for the price Ubudo gave excellent value.

泊るなら素泊まりに限る。
Reviewed By diga_black東北方面に仕事に出向いた際、一泊しての感想です。 現地は仙台港に近い市の東部にあり、コロナワールドと繋がっています。コロナの湯に宿泊者は無料で入れるのですが、後述するように引っかかる点がありました。駐車場はコロナワールドと共通で、ホテル入口近くに停められる区画数は限られます。他の区画に停めると、ホテル入口まで結構歩かされるのは難点です。 フロントの女性の応対は丁寧で感じのいいものでしたが、会計と入館キーの発行は専用端末を使う仕組みです。一方、何故かチェックアウトはフロントにキーを返却して行う方式で、端末の利用範囲と有効性が今一つよく判りませんでした。 リッチモンドホテル等で展開されている端末を使ったチェックイン・アウト方式、温かみが無いので個人的に好きではありません。金銭出納に従業員を極力タッチさせないという、経営者側のメリットは理解できなくはないですが…。 客室はまあまあの広さと設備。アメニティ類はエレベーターホールに置いてあり、必要なものを持参する方式です。客室設備は最新ではありませんが、特に不満のないレベルでした。 隣接するコロナワールドのコロナの湯には、ルームキーを使って専用ドアを開けて入る方式です。フロントで、コロナの湯の内風呂は無料で利用できるが、露天風呂を利用する時には別途１５０円の券を買う必要があると言われました。このため予め券売機で購入して、受付で渡してから入りました。 ところが露天風呂を利用する際に、何かチェックがある訳ではないのです。どうも入湯税の絡みで徴収する必要が出たため、利用者に告知はしているがチェックまではしていないらしいのです。正直者だけが１５０円を負担するという曖昧且つ不公平な仕組みで、こういうのも好きではありません。 コロナの湯は色々と浴槽はあり広いですが、お湯は温泉とは呼べないくらい塩素臭いもので、何故人気があるのか当方には全く理解できませんでした。露天風呂の炭酸泉もただ泡立っているだけでした。大きな銭湯と思えば腹は立たないのでしょうが。 尚、コロナの湯を使えるのは事実上夜だけです。朝使えるのは午前８時からで、朝食をホテルで摂っているとチェックアウトが午前１０時のため、殆ど入浴に時間を割く事は出来ないでしょう。 その朝食ですが、朝食会場はフロント脇の会議室のような殺風景で狭い空間です。席と席の間隔は狭く、特にパーテーションの類もありません。机は横並びに並べてあるだけで、すぐ隣で談笑しながら食べている複数客がいるような状態。正直隣の飛沫が怖かったです。 コロナの湯に入って宿泊しコロナになるのでは、シャレにもならないと思います。すぐ隣のコロナの湯には広い休憩スペースがあるのですから、そこを臨時の朝食会場にする位の配慮があってもいいのではないでしょうか。朝食自体は特に不満のない内容でしたが、ここに泊まるなら素泊まりに限ると思います。

Traditional Japanese hotel in wonderful seaside village!
Reviewed By maryjA988GSLots to love in the town of Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture. 1.5 hours N of Tokyo, Sendai Shinkansen stop. This hotel was very conveniently located next to the local train station. Has elevator. Rooms fit 4 for sleeping on futon/tatami mats. Pluses: traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were worth the experience! Hot Spring/bath area was clean (older but ok). Rooms equipped with tea service and instructions. Very close to all the action in town. Coffee machine with cappuccino and espresso in lobby. Potential opportunities: absolutely no one speaks English. Pantomime and google translate resolved successfully. Serious minus of the hotel is the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke, particularly common areas. Non smoking room not available. That all said, I’d stay there again for location and food. I’d open the window wider. Staff was delightful and very gracious.

Hotel
Nice baths, disappointingly unimaginative food, formulaic service.
Reviewed By underw00dNice spacious room with a view of the river (which unfortunately is so fast-flowing and therefore loud that you can't sleep with the windows open). Good array of free traditional sweets and snacks in the room, but dinner was disappointing - plate after plate of fish or meat, with virtually no vegetables and uninspired presentation and seasoning. Dessert was a persimmon jelly that reminded me of children's cough medicine: why not fresh fruit when the surrounding orchards were groaning with gorgeous apples and pears and peaches? Breakfast was better, though not sure whose idea it was to serve hamburgers in a curry sauce. The baths were spacious and suitably hot and relaxing. Pillows filled with dried beans made for a rather uncomfortable night's sleep. Service generally fine, but didn't feel very genuine: too many formulaic "go-yukkuri dozo"s. THe town badly needs a facelift too, and an injection of imagination. Still, it made for a relaxing stay at the right point on our long drive south.
