“One of the best sea view”

Very spacious Japanese-style room, clean and bright. Good Wi-Fi. Enough power sockets. Strangely there's a separate small room with a single bed. The hotel is literally next to the sea, its sea view is fabulous from the balcony, and constantly visited by seagulls. Amazing sunrise as well. Check-in was smooth, a staff managed to communicate with us in Mandarin and talk us through the rather complex facilities within this hotel, separated into east and south wings. Ample parking space. Since we're driving, location is not an issue. Set dinner was amazing, we also ordered extra bonito set at a very cheap rate. A lot of dishes for its buffet breakfast too. Big indoor onsen at the south wing, not many guests though. More visited the one with both indoor and outdoor onsen at the east wing. A portion of the lobby is dedicated to a very meaningful exhibit of the 3.11 tsunami. One of this year's best 100 hotels & ryokans in Japan.

This is not just another hotel, it's a hotel that had a major roll in the help of this all village back in 2011 tsunami, they are making bus tour telling the story and in the hotel are pictures and album about the great tragedy . As for a hotel, it's very big! With great rooms, open view to the ocean, albatross coming to sit at the balcony amazing view

Fantastic views and very well maintained facilities

“Great food beside the ocean”

This is a big box spa hotel located on the coast in between some of the sites of the worst destruction of the tsunami of 11-3-11. There is an exhibition in one of the halls. The hotel rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The spa rooms, though large, are pleasant and the outdoor baths are great. When you stay at a big spa hotel in Japan, one should choose dinner and breakfast as a matter of routine. However, the food here is anything other than ordinary. Delicious and wonderful would be better words.

“Great service, fabulous food, beautiful view”

The hotel staff were all very helpful and welcoming. The dinner with abalone and oyster was among the best I have ever had. Lots of food at the breakfast buffet. I especially loved the croissant, olive ciabatta and cranberry pecan bread with Hokkaido butter. I also loved the organic coffee, sweet cherry tomatoes and onsen egg. It was my first time soaking in an onsen with beautiful sea view. A short walk from the hotel, the Jinja Coffee place was lovely.

“good place for weekend”

breakfast and dinner are tasty, my room is spacious, I can feed seabirds from my room's window which is a wonderful experience

Both the dinner and breakfast were very good.

“Great sea view from outdoor onsen”

Onsen with seaview is really pretty. Dinner and breakfast were good. There's a big supermarket (shop) at the hotel.

“Terrific accomodation in a fantastic location”

Buffet Breakfast was excellent with a range of Japanese and western foods available. Included evening meals provided a great range of local cuisine. The Onsens were terrific with 180 degree views of the bay, as were the rooms.

“What a great location, more than anticipated!”

The location was fabulous!

“Amazing food, amazing view.”

It’s where the local holiday.

“I want come back again”

Nice view very nice onsen amazing foods

“A sea view onsen worth the visit”

The fresh onsen with open-air views over the ocean is the highlight of this place = and worth quite a lot. The food is quite traditional japanese, authentic but not great. Walk 500m for a once-in-a-lifetime coffee experience @ Jinja coffee. The guy running the place is makes it worth the visit … and the drip coffee is good (but he serves no espresso or lattes).

“Simply Awesome Stay!”

Everything exceeded our expectations. Staff service was impeccable, onsen was awesome, dinner served was delicious with lots of thoughts in preparing the table with your name and serving the food with such beautiful plating. Room facing the Shizugawa Bay was awesome with seagulls visiting the balcony. You can practically see sunrise from the room. Room was clean and bedding was comfortable. Toiletries was great.

The hotel has uninterrupted ocean views from spacious rooms and a sizable onsen with indoor and outdoor pools, and very good food for dinner and breakfast was included. Staff were engagingly cheerful and, as is typically our experience in locations away from major tourist trails, work impressively hard to communicate in English. Though we didn't use it, there's a (free?) shuttle bus to and from Sendai. A short taxi ride to and from the station and tsunami-related sights in Shizugawa is affordable.

The hotel is absolutely fantastic, which spectacular views over the bay. It feels like you are on a cruise ship. The dinner was delicious and we could try the Japanese delicacy Awabi for the first time. Breakfast was also an extensive buffet. Staying in a Japanese style room was a new experience for my parents, and they were worried about the comfort of futon, but we doubled-up the mattresses for them and it was comfortable enough.
