Best Zao Hotels

The staff are very polite and have a very good service attitude. It’s just that the weather is too cold, and if you have children with you, it’s a bit inconvenient to go to the public restroom or bathroom.

Good service, great location to visit the town. Room is clean with beautiful river view, nice outdoor onsen and the staff’s are friendly

Many group guests stayed in the old hotel facilities. It can be seen that there is an age. It is clean and tidy. The room window view is good. The hot spring is generally heard from other guests complaining that the water temperature is not enough.  At check, one of the older sisters of the counter staff spoke very politely. The hotel facilities process was full of impatience. After the reaction, the attitude suddenly changed, so at the beginning, it was really a conversation about bullying the guests.

Transportation: easiest with a 50-min taxi ride from Sendai airport unless int’l traveler wants to transfer via trains/buses. Nearest bus stop/little township is 遠刈田温泉 (13-min by foot to the Inn). Key feature is open air onsens in forestry — this is why I chose to stay. Delightful breakfast and dinner (during dinner, there are all-inclusive drinks menu + additional charge ones). I enjoyed the 2nd night’s beef/daikon pot in particular. There are hearth side afternoon refreshment, happy hour beer, post-dinner snack that you will be kept fed warmly. The aircon in Buna room would blow directly on the head so the fan blade should be adjusted. Staff English speaking capability varies but they made every effort in solving problems. Little hiccup after checking out that the bus time table the Inn indicated was outdated, but I still managed to change my route in the fly, which is the beauty traveling in Japan.
