Hotel Dengan Gym di Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Sendai has become my second favorite city in Japan. It offers the perfect blend of chill and urban vibes — not as crowded as Tokyo, Osaka, or Sapporo, yet equally lively and enjoyable. This capsule hotel is located right along the main business street, making it very convenient for dining and shopping. There’s even an Ichiran Ramen just next door, and a famous Taiyaki shop only a 2–3 minute walk away. Sendai Station is about a 10-minute walk from the property. However, one downside is the confusing luggage policy. The hotel rules state that large luggage cannot be brought into the sleeping area, so I rented a chain lock (JPY 100) to secure my suitcase in the hallway. Despite this, many guests still brought their bags inside, so the rule seemed inconsistently enforced. For guests like me who followed the policy, it was a bit inconvenient since my capsule was quite far from the hallway and it was troublesome to retrieve my belongings each time.

I loved this hotel and wished I could have stayed longer! This time, I came from Tokyo on the Shinkansen and stayed in Sendai for three nights. The hotel's location is unbeatable – right above the Shinkansen exit. You step off the train and check in almost instantly. After breakfast, it's a quick 5-minute walk to the platform for trains heading north to Aomori and Ninohe on the third floor. It's incredibly convenient and perfect for anyone with a JR Pass traveling north. Plus, it's very quiet. The room, by Japanese standards, was quite spacious, especially the bathroom, which had a separate shower and toilet, and the massage showerhead was a real treat. They provided a full range of samples: facial cleanser, makeup remover, toner/lotion, and hair oil – everything you could need, making it super convenient. There's a dedicated smoking room on the third floor for guests, accessible with your room key. While there's a gym, it only has cardio equipment. On the fourth floor, there's a lounge with views and drinks, which I didn't get to experience due to my tight schedule. Laundry facilities are on the 7th and 11th floors. Just bring 100-yen coins. However, there's only one top-loader washing machine and one dryer, so you might have to wait. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was Western-style but also included local specialties like beef tongue and fish cake, which were pretty good. There was a wide variety of vegetables, and I made sure to load up before heading out to fuel my day. There are major department stores nearby for easy shopping. And don't miss the zunda shake (edamame milkshake) inside the JR station – it's delicious. I love Sendai and will definitely be back!

The hotel was renovated last year, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-lit, with enough room for two large suitcases. There's a self-service refreshment area (note the opening hours) that offers coffee, soft drinks, and surprisingly, nostalgic snacks and ice cream. Basic toiletries and skincare products are available for guests to take freely, and they even thoughtfully provide daily essentials for babies and children. In summary, aside from the hotel's location being a bit far from the JR station (about a 10-minute walk), there are no other drawbacks. There's a convenience store near the hotel; just head out towards the parking lot and cross one road.

Amazing view and at a quiet area just a few minutes from the Sendai Station. One negative experience was that this hotel basically does not offer any English speaking TV channels and only has access to Youtube or VOD. Youtube could not be logged in as a guest and the guest is required to login using their personal email accounts. This for me was the 1st time of such an experience ,while staff was polite language is definitely a problem .

No return to Japan in three years! The most anticipated trip this trip is Li's Zhuquanzhuang Hot Spring Hotel will stay for 2 nights! On that day 2022-10-21 My wife and I were driving to the King of Tibet at 11 am in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The most ideal time for default is four and a half hours! At 6 pm, I arrived first! As soon as I arrived, the staff of Zhuquanzhuang used super kind attitude to condolences! After explaining, they dry the room without saying anything! Check-in at the extreme speed! After finishing, we will have a beautiful dinner for us! Fear that I will starve to death! After eating, soak up a hot spring and all the troubles are drying! On the second day! My wife and I are going to the nearby attractions to scare down the cable car to scare the maple leaves! About the hotel 6:30 meal! I know that the car is slower than before! Another half hour later, return to the hotel first! They again use their kind attitude to condolences! So they have used a kind of attitude to care about the guests for two consecutive days! Prove that the quality of the hotel service is not vegetarian! I really feel that they are waiting for their family to come back to eat! No matter the restaurant, open air style and room privacy is extremely high! Their service attitude is better than I thought! Looking forward to coming back next time ⋯! I am not a god of food so I did not write food review! To the hotel tips: the first time to be Boding outdoor wind Lu!

The hotel by the sea, there is a height standard left by the tsunami on the outer wall, a rare hotel, there is a century-old clock after the restoration. Free drinks on the first floor! Service attitude is also very good. There are fewer restaurants around. I will definitely go there next time. I like the girl at the front desk very beautiful and the attitude is very good!
