Excellent resort beautiful views from ocean view room and the lobby area. We did half board and buffet style breakfast and dinner were excellent. The hotel is situated on top of a steep hill so walking into the town is not an option but the hotel provides free shuttle service which is very convenient.

Beautiful hotel, with a complimentary breakfast buffet and a bathhouse. Traditional bedroom was nice, but sleeping on a futon on the floor was hard on an American back! Take the free tour bus into downtown for a fun Matsushima shopping experience!

今回は両親の長寿のお祝い、子供の誕生日とお祝い事が重なり、お世話になりました。 部屋間の移動か、夜23時以降に子供が廊下で騒いでいました。それ以外は静かに過ごせました。食事は、追加料金を支払い海鮮バイキングにしましたが、びっくりするほどの若者の団体(研修かな)と一緒で、ごちゃごちゃで、大変でした。色々と食べたかったのですが、人の多さに疲れてしまいました。美味しかったので思ったほど食べれず残念でした。 お祝いと伝えてたからか、ホテルからシャンパンのサービスがあり嬉しかったです。 お風呂は沸かし湯との事でしたが、大きな湯船と景色が良く気持ちよく入らせて貰いました。送迎バスも便利でした。

眺めが売りの旅館

眺めの良い大型旅館。駐車場も広い。大浴場にバスタオルがなく部屋から持っていくのは面倒だった。食堂はブュッフェスタイルで選べるのが子供連れにいいかもしれない。美食の名物料理があればもっとよかった。

Perfect in most aspects except for hard beds

Excellent service and hospitality. Ocean view room is beautiful. Buffet foods are delicious too. This is one of the few hotels that I would like to give a perfect rating. However, the bed is a bit aged and too hard for me to have a good rest. So, I had to downgrade it for this only factor. I wish the hotel could review my comment and reconsider upfitting its bed condition, so that it will truly become a perfect hotel in all aspects.
