Hotel 2-Star di Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I particularly appreciated how the bath and luggage storage areas were separate from the capsule area, which made for a much quieter and more restful stay compared to other similar facilities. There were also plenty of showers, sinks, and hairdryers, so I never felt like it was crowded. Another nice touch was that each guest received their own bath mat. This kept the changing rooms clean and dry, which was a pleasant surprise. My only minor complaint was that my capsule felt a bit cold. Even with thermal underwear under the provided loungewear, I woke up in the middle of the night because of the chill. It would be even more comfortable if blankets were available for rent or if the room temperature could be adjusted.

A charming and authentic Japanese experience A charming, Japanese inn, with everything beautifully traditional. Lovely-quality yukatas are provided for guests to wear during their stay — not unusual in Japan, but these were noticeably better quality than we have experienced elsewhere. The ryokan is run by a husband-and-wife team, who were eager to please and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed a delicious Japanese dinner and breakfast, both served in the privacy of our own room. It was wonderfully relaxing and gave us the feeling of being guests in a Japanese home rather than simply staying in a hotel. Our bath was prepared for us as soon as we arrived, which was a lovely welcome after our bike ride. The bathroom is shared, as is common in smaller Japanese guesthouses, but we had no complaints whatsoever. Overall, this was a genuinely authentic experience and one we thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended — and a lovely place to reach by bicycle!

I had a wonderful stay at Ryokan Tsukasa in Sendai. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel at home right away. My room was beautifully designed in the style of a traditional Japanese house, and I had the unique experience of sleeping on the floor like a true Japanese. I also loved wearing the traditional robe provided in the room — it added an authentic touch to the stay. Everything was perfect, and I would highly recommend this ryokan to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Sendai!

The room is still relatively large, quiet and comfortable, the mirror on the wall is very chic, impressive, like the sauce soup for breakfast, typical Japanese ^_^

The place is walkable distance from train station. Accessible food places and 7-11 store. Ishinomaki is quiet and cosy area to stay in. Morning breakfast is nice and check in and out is easy.

This place is a rustic ryokan with stories. While it is not luxurious ryokan, but I had great experiences. Room is rather small but that’s all we needed. There are public bath and private baths available. I enjoyed using public bath. Dinner and breakfast were good. Not overwhelming but very tasty. Staffs were nice and very attentive. At the last day, grandma came and greeted us during departure. The ryokan also offered to drop us off at the train station.

Perfect place for relaxing after the hard weekend, onsen on site and Japanese style bedroom are perfect when you come to Japan. The manager is very very kind, gentle and helpful. The greeting message in the room when we arrived really made my day thank you 💗☺️

Nice traditional Japanese hotel. The room was conveniently located on the first floor. The only things to keep in mind there as a foreigner (very broken English at best). Using a translation device or app in your phone is essential for communication. The room we stayed did not have a private shower. If a shower is needed it will be in a communal shower area. The room does have a toilet and sink though.

The rooms are spacious, supposedly the best hotel in the area, but it's a bit dark outside the convenience store at night, so it's best to go out in groups. The downside is that WeChat Pay and Alipay aren't yet available, which is slightly inconvenient.
