I had a 3 days / 2 night half board stay. We had a great room with a great view of Matsushima Bay. The room is large with a personal onsen in which we can soak our tired bodies as much and as long as possible. However, as this is a small hotel, the 3 public onsen is not crowded and you can spent alot of 'me' time enjoying the hot soak. Beside the good onsen, the food is super great as we had: - 9 course refined Japanese dinner with fresh sashimi and hot pot - 7 course refined Japanese breakfast that cannot be found in normal hotel. Did I not mention that the hotel is also a 5 mins beach walk to areas of attraction? Overall, this is a great hotel for food, onsen and to explore Matsushima.
