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!

数年ぶりに泊まりましたが、とても満足でした! 改装されたそうで、施設内はとても綺麗でした。 バイキングも種類が多く美味しくて子供達も大喜びでした。部屋も清潔さもあり良かったのですが、エアコンの配置のせいか場所によっては空気がこもり暑苦しく、直接エアコンの風が当たるので寒くて寝れず…そこだけが残念でしたが、他はとても良く満足でした。また利用したいです。

Bel hôtel mais de grosses imperfections

Accueuil grand style Nous étions en demi pension. Il y avait un buffet le soir copieux et assez diversifié mais toujours le même. Nous y étions pour 5 jours. Nous avons demandé (en payant un supplément) de pouvoir aller au restaurant japonais de l’hôtel. Ils ont prétendu que nous ne nous y étions pas incrits (je nous y avais inscrits le matin). Au second refus, le lendemain, nous avons réagi très négativement, exigeant de voir le directeur. Finalement ils ont accepté que nous y allions (il y avait 8 clients) Le repas était excellent. La dernière nuit j’ai été piquée en ligne sur les bras et dans le cou par des puces ou punaises de lit. Je leur ai montré les piqûres, ils ont prétendu qu’au Japon, ça n’existait pas et n’ont présenté aucune excuse

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。
