I am so glad I stayed here. It is a perfect location, with magnificent views of the bay from my room and from the public and private onsen. Breakfast was really good. All staff were very kind and friendly, and special thanks to the man on reception (so sorry I didn’t get your name) who spoke English really well.
It is a bit of a walk from the railway stations (its about midway between Matsushima and Matsushimakaigan - about 18 minutes walk from each) but the walk from Matsushimakigan is prettier. The hotel does provide a shuttle bus a couple of times each day.
