Homestays in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

I've stayed here about 5 or 6 times now, and every visit, the cleanliness is impeccable and the service is excellent. The staff's polite language and their commitment to ensuring guests never feel uncomfortable truly put me at ease. This time, for the first time, I opted for a room-only stay as I wanted to enjoy a relaxing hot spring trip without any interference. (Previously, my best friend and I always chose plans with breakfast and dinner.) This kind of stay is also very reasonable, and given the reliable service, I'll continue to choose Rantei for all my future visits to Akiu Onsen, rather than trying other inns. Having just turned 60, I'm not sure how many more times I'll be able to visit... Thank you so much for everything.

We came to Akiu mainly to see Lu Xun's former residence, but the hotel itself was also great. Although there wasn't much of a view outside the window, Akiu Great Falls is just a short drive away. The front desk gave me a room on the top floor. The food, especially, deserves a special mention. My boyfriend ate 6 plates of the freshly grilled beef tongue, but he was still outdone by the Japanese gentleman next to us – I counted, he had 7 plates! I won't post other pictures as I see everyone else has posted plenty; I'll just share one of the massage chair. You can enjoy the view while getting a massage. It's very quiet during the day, and you can use it as much as you like without needing coins, which is much more generous than many other hotels. The parking lot is also spacious, so there's no need to worry about not finding a spot if you return late.

The hot springs are very good! The food is delicious because it is made with local ingredients! It is surrounded by fresh green, and I can spend it comfortably. The welcome drink bar is great and well received by families.

Stayed one night in the main building. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with good amenities. Our package included both buffet breakfast and dinner, which was a nice touch. At check-in, guests are asked to select their preferred dining times. Since the restaurant can get quite busy, I recommend choosing the earliest slot for a more relaxed experience. The onsen facilities were decent and provided a chance to unwind. Overall, it was an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Although the drive up the mountain was a bit challenging, the environment upon arrival was beautiful. The front desk staff spoke Mandarin very well and arranged an excellent room for us. After checking in, we headed to the restaurant for dinner. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes. After dinner, we went to the hot spring area. Besides the public bath, there were also private hot springs, which we thoroughly enjoyed! 😎 Breakfast was also very rich and plentiful. After eating our fill, we soaked in the hot springs for a bit longer. We even took some photos before leaving to capture the wonderful memories!

The old large hot spring hotel is well decorated, the lobby is beautiful, the koi is very beautiful, the room is very large, the hot spring is relatively lackluster, especially disappointed is the semi-buffet dinner, I have lived in many hot spring hotels with one berth and two meals, this one eats worse. The free shuttle bus from Sendai Station is good.

A cute surprise with a welcome drink What is this💕I'm so happy Keyless It's a Japanese-style room, but it's a comfortable twin bedroom It looks old, but it's been renovated wonderfully The amenities are also fine There are things like a small handbag for the bath The best thing about it is The food The concept is to value privacy It's rare to find a place where you prepare food next to each other. It's more fun to be next to each other than facing each other! Beautiful food And delicious A series of impressions For dessert, you can choose your preference in a separate room The hospitality was better than that of a first-class hotel. The service was also wonderful 💓 You can order drinks online But it was difficult to get through It was a bit slow I felt like an old man Nice support👍 There is no shower or bath in the room But it was a hotel of impeccable quality

The staff were nice and have also tried to speak English. I recommend a little Japanese knowledge, however. The highlight of the room is the balcony, which has not only a perfect view of the bathroom, but also a bathroom with water of a hot source. The room has only futons, sleeping on the side is therefore uncomfortable. The toilet is in an extra room that was too small to me. Some killing in and outside the room are quite small, so big people have to book.

We stayed on the 8th floor of Hotel Kanyo. The view, food, and hospitality were all great. The staff were friendly and the open-air bath was amazing. We all wanted to come back. We were a group of four with an average age of 85, but we had a great time.

This was a last-minute trip to Tohoku and Hokkaido. Since I was staying in Sendai for the last few days and wanted to enjoy breakfast, dinner, and onsen (hot springs) at a nearby hotel, I decided to visit Akiu Onsen, which I hadn't been to before. The hotel thoughtfully provided a shuttle bus between Sendai Station and the hotel, which was very convenient. The front desk service was excellent. The onsen area was large, and the dinner was very good (including any extra meals I purchased). The breakfast was relatively disappointing; there weren't any particularly appealing dishes, and the quality was just average. Although I always chose to bathe and soak in the public bath, I also used the bathroom in my room, and my family members weren't used to going to the public bath. However, the problem was that even when I adjusted the temperature to over 50 degrees Celsius, the water temperature in the room's bathroom was only between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, and adjusting it further didn't change anything. I wonder if there's something wrong with that. In conclusion, for a hotel with a normal temperature, I believe there are other better options in the Akiu Onsen area.
