Hotels in Tohoku region

Everything was great – the cleanliness, location, and service. Plus, the hotel provided free hot spring tickets every day for a place just 300-400 meters away. Excellent value for money!

Room is small but clean and they provide amenities. Staff is friendly. Location is near train station.

It was right in front of the station and easy to find, so I had no trouble getting there. Although the building is retro, the guest rooms have been renovated and are new and clean. I was able to relax and enjoy my stay!

The hotel is very basic. You get what you pay for. Overall it is a normal hotel that can be used as a stay to get up early and go to the station.

great location and close to city centre

Very clean hotel and across the street from the bus/train station. Staff are friendly and for me, walkable to most of the historical sites.

It was clean, spacious and comfortable.

It's very convenient that it's close to the station

The location is great , the room is clean and convenient

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast had a wide variety of food, all of which was delicious. It was a great trip.

Conveniently located a short walk from the station. Decor is slightly aged but very clean. Great local food options around too, but prepare your translation apps if you can’t speak/read Japanese.

The space is large and the room is clean. In winter, there is only heating, no air conditioning.

Not made for the above average person but was very comfortable

Very good service. Located at convenient distance from the station

Great place for stay. Good services, delicious breakfast and polite and helpful staff. A little on expensive side maybe.

Definitely worth the price. Everything was clean and well organised, and I was able to properly relax, which was exactly what I was looking for. I’m quite particular about hotel bathrooms, and I was really pleased with how clean the bathroom in my room was. Free carpark available!

I like that it's an unpretentious place to stay. Is it difficult to stay here without a car?

The Wi-Fi signal is quite poor. It cuts off after about 5 minutes, and it's difficult to reconnect, which is very stressful. Before I knew it, I had used up all my smartphone data, which made me panic. I've stayed here a few times, and the Wi-Fi connection is always terrible. I hope they will reconsider the Wi-Fi environment. It was also inconvenient that there was only one washing machine. The customer...

The parking lot seems to be full of construction workers, with HiAce vans parked all over the place, making it difficult to find a spot. I wish they'd park together if they were the same contractors, lol. That aside, I've used their services in other areas as well, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They offer a free breakfast buffet and a restaurant on weekday evenings. I stayed there on...

Actually, I booked the wrong place. I wanted to stay near Morioka Station, but I was probably too full during my stay. Luckily, I had a car, which solved the problem. The location itself is actually quite nice. There are many different shopping areas nearby, parking is convenient, and it's quick to get to the highway. If you have a car rental, this hotel is pretty good.

I attended the beautiful fireworks display, and the hotel was very close to the venue. There were plenty of restaurants nearby, which was very convenient, and the hotel even had a small public bathhouse. It was very comfortable.

The room is very spacious and clean. The location is great as it takes around 500 m to Clis Road. There is also bus stop and taxi stand just right in front of the hotel. In addition, there is also subway station in the front. The breakfast is super great and fancy. Highly recommended!!

The location is really convenient as it’s right outside the metro station. Hotel is a bit old but the stay was still comfortable! It’s enough for 2 ppl with 2 big luggage’

The facilities were old, but they were well-maintained and I didn't mind at all. There were beautiful artworks on display in the lobby and elevator hall.

Coming for Jotaro, it is full of the flavor of an old shop from the last century

Everything is great! The environment is also very elegant. The room is in the form of a key, which is very unique and I like it very much.

The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and there was ample parking so I was able to park my car with peace of mind.

It's a bit far from the station, but there are plenty of shopping options nearby.

I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, the staff was polite and helpful. The room for one is small, but clean, there are towels, a kettle, a hairdryer. Breakfast was simple, but delicious. There is a bus stop, shops and restaurants near the hotel.

It was nice that I could use the bath even though it was late.

The hotel's large public baths were relaxing and refreshing. While the rooms were a bit dated, they were well-maintained and comfortable. The friendly staff and warm atmosphere made for a truly satisfying stay. I'd definitely recommend this place again.

Dinner was poorly organized, so we had to wait a long time from ordering to the time it was ready, and in the end, our order was forgotten.

The room was clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the breakfast was delicious. I'd like to stay here again.

Much better all around compared to other Route Inn properties.

Good coffee, watch out when using room toilet English speaking friendly receptionist. In room bathroom floor is higher than room floor and has a metal trim that causes you to trip and kick your toes if you fail to take note whenever you enter or leave the bathroom. The corridor reeks of cigarette but air purifier inside room keeps it odour-free. Mattress is too soft. Because it has a restaurant on...

Giving it a perfect score doesn't mean all of these aspects are excellent; using these categories to evaluate this chain of budget hotels is actually unfair. The reason I gave it a perfect score is that overall, this hotel is absolutely worth the room rate.

It's a rather old hotel. I might have booked the wrong room. I checked into a smoking room. It's been a long time since I've had to use a key to enter a hotel. Because I have a habit of going out for morning exercise, I disturbed my companion. Everything else was normal.

The price is very reasonable. It's 1.2 kilometers from JR Tsuchizaki Station, so it's easy to walk if you don't have luggage. If you have luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. There aren't many restaurants near the hotel, but there's a large supermarket about 100 meters away with a wide variety of food. There's also a 100-meter-high observation tower in front of the hotel, which offers free admission...

good location that is near to selion tower.

Very clean and staff are friendly

Central Location A nice city center location. Parking the rental car was a bit stressful, but it was safely tucked away in a garage. The breakfast was quite delicious. The beds were extremely firm, but overall everything was nice and tidy.

Good guidance at the front desk

Self-check in kiosk with non-Japanese citizens was not working. Check in at the front desk instead. Good free breakfast buffet.

I made a reservation at short notice two weeks in advance, but was able to use the facility at a reasonable price. The breakfast was delicious, so I was very satisfied. It would have been even better if there had been a large communal bath. I was able to be very active on the day. I would like to use the facility again.

Awesome staff. Rooms asre a bit small but definitely better than Tokyo rooms.

Great location near the station with free parking. The staff were very helpful, and the breakfast was excellent—varied and changed slightly each day.

Same Rout-inn hotel different place. Clean room, bed is large enough, toilet and bathtub is small but a big spa is available. An issue to me is what the 2nd parking is so far, and no sign like "Rout-inn Hotel Parking". Free coffee is available in front of the reception. There is a small Izakaya bar in the hotel, where free breakfast is also available.

Hotel is adequate for a night's stay, but although the receptionists were very friendly, at check out I asked the receptionist if I could have a coffee from the machine before leaving, his colleague was about to answer and the guy came forward to tell me that he was sorry but he couldn't. In very bad taste, the client should leave until the last moment with good feelings.

There were no rooms available, so I booked a smoking room, but there was not much of a cigarette smell, so I was relieved. Breakfast was free for guests, which was helpful.

My god this place has an onsen, so already a huge bonus. :) location is really good and lots of isekayas around to drop by for beers and snacks. Also such an aesthetic suburban neighborhood. Family mart 350m away. The staff was super nice and helpful. Onsen has washing machine and dryer inside so I great bonus. Sadly the room had two major issues...the pillow were horrible, lumpy and you only get one...

The hotel is very close to Tsuruoka Station. It only takes a few minutes' walk. There is a bus in front of the station to Kamo Aquarium. It is very convenient. The staff is friendly and courteous. The room faces the railway. It is not too loud when cars pass by.

The Route Inn hotel brand is reliable, as always. We stayed at Route Inn hotels throughout our entire trip in Japan, and it's definitely worth coming back. However, the breakfast, which was a pleasant surprise at first, felt a bit repetitive after 10 days.

Great value for money hotel for a couple's one-night stay.

The hotel staff were very friendly, the building was clean and I had a pleasant stay. It's the same no matter which Route Inn I stay at, so I'll definitely stay again.

The large public bath was kept clean, and it was a bonus that it was worth it just for being there. I only had breakfast, but I was satisfied with the variety, quantity, and taste, even in times of rising prices. Another plus was that you could take coffee back to your room in a paper cup.

I stayed for two nights. It was a little far from the station, but there was a supermarket right next door, so I was able to get cheap drinks and dinner, which was great. There were also a tonkatsu restaurant and a convenience store nearby, so it was convenient. The large public bath was also clean, and since it was an artificial hot spring, it was very comfortable. I stayed on the 8th floor, so the...

This time, I used it to take the Tadami Line, but it's far from the station, so other than that it was fine. Also, there is a supermarket called Lion d'Or next door, which is convenient.

We had a great time here Even we only stay for one night, I feel very comfortable during my stay.

Although it’s a bit far from city centre without direct access to train or metro, it is right next to the premium outlet, offering fantastic shopping options. The outlet was not open on 1 Jan so it was a bit empty. The noble suite is very spacious. I love it

Even we arrived the hotel at mid-night, that male staff came out from his resting room to serve us at.once. The view of our room was facing to the beautiful backyard which are full of tree with autumn leaves, Its location is very close to the oulet with walking distance.

Thanks 斎藤 san help us to resolve our miss reservation , he is really kind and nice. If next time we visit sendai again, we will choose here again, it really good and service is really nice.

We plan to have a trip from 8/30-9/1, but I forget to reserve 8/30-31. Due to we go out side after store luggage, and get back late.They can not contact me directly. While we get back at 9p.m and it really getting nervous to know we did not reserve room. Thanks 斎藤 san give us many help, he is really kind and nice, give us many power and let us feel better . If next time we visit sendai again, we will...

First time in Sendai, easy access by car and located in a beautiful out-squirt area close to an outlet and mall. Every guest was treated like a VIP. We’ve got a good deal for nice room and upgraded for less than ¥15.000 to a corner suite, totally worth it! Delicious Buffet breakfast included, served at the garden terrace.

The location of the hotel is simply magnificent. The rooms with the ocean view are top class. The view of the onsen is stunning too. A strongly recommended hotel!!

We found this time the food especially sea food was very disappointed , ox tongue supposing is famous in Sendai, however the meat was not tasty but tough!👎 We had visited n stayed in this hotel 16 years ago! This was a bad experience,🥴

Excellent hotel, the dinner is delicious with a wide range of choices of high quality food, particularly seafood. The room is modern, spacious and comfortable. Onsen facilities very good. Shuttle buses to onsen town and railway stations very convenient.

I really loved this hotel! I've stayed in many high-quality hotels, but the view from this one still amazed me. The lobby manager even told me my room had the best view in the whole hotel~ I was so happy I didn't check out until 11 AM, making sure I didn't waste a single second of enjoying the view from my room!

The room is right in the heart of Matsushima Bay, offering unbeatable views. It's clean and absolutely fantastic!

Great location and service at one of the most beautiful sceneries of Japan

Hotel very clean and food is good both dinner and breakfast. Location a bit far from town not have shop around but is acceptable to be a Onsen hotel with private area. Hotel staff very helpful. All are great!

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The service was consistently excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who were always ready to help. The location is a major highlight—convenient, easy to access, and close to many attractions, shops, and restaurants. Overall, it offers great comfort and value, and I would happily stay here again.

The facilities and building are old. The hot springs were good. The staff were friendly and impeccable. It was a long weekend, so it was crowded with families. There were times when the toilet lever wouldn't turn back. Facilities are important, but Oedo Onsen has managed to survive the devilish COVID-19 pandemic. I guess we can put up with it in order to prioritize the staff's income. There's a wide...

Wi-Fi was only available in the lobby and didn't work in the rooms. The dinner buffet wasn't great, but the soft serve ice cream for dessert was delicious.

It felt good and I had a great time

There were many dishes on the buffet menu, and everything was delicious. The large communal bath was also spacious and comfortable. I would like to go again.

Near shopping center, easy transportation, good amenity

The location was great, very close to Sendai JR station. It was also just next to the morning seafood market so I had my breakfast there instead of inside the hotel. The room could fit my snowboard luggage and had my snowboard out and still have space for me to walk around in the room. It's very value for its money and I would stay there again if I would ever return to Sendai.

Dated business hotel. Mould in bathroom.

Easy access to JR station and main bus stops to destinations.

Very good to stay The room is wider than what I’ve thought

I stayed there during the Tanabata period. The facilities are old and not very clean, but considering the location and price, it's not a bad choice.

Traveling with family for few days at Sendai. Good location to JR Sendai station. Lounge open for all guest to have complimentary drinks till late night.

Traveling with family for few days at Sendai. Good location to JR Sendai station. Lounge open for all guest to have complimentary drinks till late night.

Easy to reach and clean room. Breakfast is nice too.

Location is good. Close to Sendai JR station. The room is small and facilities are ok. With complimentary breakfast and taste not bad.

Very convenient for shopping and eating. Nearby train station.

No restaurant on site, parking nearby at an extra cost of 850 yen

[Close to the station, super-fast Wi-Fi, a great option for business travelers, but be careful with parking] ▼I stayed in a single room for a business trip in early December 2025. It was well-equipped for business use and extremely convenient as a base for activities around Kitakami Station. The room was compact but functional, and the Wi-Fi speed was particularly noteworthy. It was extremely fast...

Although it said there was a large public bath, it was listed as "for men only." If that's the case, please correct the information. There was a smoking floor, so the whole hotel had a strong cigarette smell. Especially in the elevator.

The price was cheap but the comfort was satisfactory. The soba restaurant on the first floor of the hotel was cheap and delicious, and the breakfast was surprisingly cheap but very delicious.

I think the room itself was generally clean. However, there were few amenities and I could hear people in other rooms, but considering the price I was satisfied. The front desk staff were very helpful and responded quickly.

The hotel staff were also new and very pleasant. It was a snowy day, but they even cleared the snow off our cars in the parking lot, which was very nice.

It's very close to JR Kitakami Station. It's a very comfortable stay and the staff's service is very friendly. There is only a convenience store near the station. If you check in after nine o'clock in the evening, it is best to buy something delicious and drinkable in advance.

Room standard Japanese style hotel but good and comfortable bed for good night sleep.

I used it for a live performance at the Sekisui Heim Super Arena. It's a little far from Sendai Station, but I was traveling by rental car so it wasn't a problem. I'd like to use it again.

Very comfortable and convenient

Toyoko Inn is a chain of business hotels that you can find all over Japan. The service is good, which it generally is in Japan, and the prices are reasonable. This specific Toyoko Inn is located near Sendai station with lots of shopping and restaurants. It is also walking distance from the nightlife district. And from Sendai station you can go to pretty much any place of interest without hassle, including...

Have basically everything you would expect from a descent Japanese hotel chain, and for quite a reasonable price. Good location, quiet rooms.

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Route‑Inn. The hotel is very convenient, located only about 5 minutes from the airport. The hotel and the room were clean and well maintained. The room size is compact but comfortable. One of the things I really liked was the large window in the room, which allowed me to relax and watch the snow falling outside — it was very beautiful and romantic. The breakfast...

Good location and near to the airport. I would say it is a very practical hotel to stay over while waiting for flight. It meet all the needs, have a bath house vending machine,washing machine etc... Breakfast was also pretty good. Taxi to airport was less than 10 mintutes and about 1100Yen. Can't really hear any planes flying so can sleep peacefully as well. Hotel Staff was also helpful in booking...

very far from the site but hotel is nice and clean

The water in the large public bath was very hot. It was difficult to soak in the water for a long time. The breakfast was very delicious. I was able to relax.

I thought maybe I'd go to Marukan Shokudo for the first time in a while, and when I checked the reservation site, I was lucky to find that a twin room was available, so I made a reservation right away. The room was on the top floor, on the south side, so even more bravo! The room itself is Route Inn quality as expected. It's close to the main road, but it's not noisy at all. There are air conditioners...

Since it is a route inn, I don't think it is very different from other route ins. good point ・There is a ramen shop outside. There is Yakiniku (grilled meat) and Kourakuen in the immediate vicinity (there is one that you can see) and a little further away. disappointing point ・Far from the airport and Shinkansen. As others have written, it's a little far from the airport. Even more so at Shinkansen...

The room was nice, spacious, and comfortable. The main highlight is the hot springs, with a wide variety of options. I especially recommend the hot springs in the side buildings, as they have better facilities. Breakfast and dinner are buffet-style with a good selection of food. There's live instrumental music every night during dinner, and folk performances in the hotel lobby every evening. The shuttle...

Good hotel for onsen and stay. The dinner buffet was great.

There are four to five different hot springs to choose from, making it the hotel with the most options currently available. The evening performance is free and quite spectacular. The food is of above-average quality, with crab legs served for dinner, but if you're only looking for the food, you wouldn't choose this hotel.

3 hotels link together forming a resort Japanese style buffet dinner Free parking available Very relaxing hot spring

Hongyekan is located in Hanamaki Onsen Village. It costs about 3,400 yen to take a taxi from the airport. The hotel facilities are newer than expected. It should have been renovated. The hotel rooms are also quite large. You can soak in the hot springs of three joint hotels. The meals feel thoughtful. Although there are not many types, the ingredients are good. I will stay at least two days next time

Room has no shower inside. Toilet water tab is not clean enough

Good for elderly and families with any age! Huge lobby, High ceilings! Big Western Japanese style room. Large parking lot, free. Have 2 public Onsen…big! Frozen popsicles in Onsen resting location.

We had a lovely time at this hotel. The lobby is beautiful and creates a wonderful first impression. One of the best perks is the complimentary shuttle bus from Sendai; it’s very convenient and only takes about 30–45 minutes, making the hotel feel quite accessible. We really enjoyed the facilities, especially the four onsen baths (two for each gender) and the ping pong room, which was a fun addition...

Nice and huge place however the building might be on the older side but it’s still good. Onsen view was nice

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...

The hotel service was good. The lobby was grand and beautiful. On the contrary, the rooms were a bit old. The onsen was great. I tried both the new and old onsen. I personally liked the old one and is has a more Japanese taste. The new one is too modern. The onsen water really made my skin softer. The buffet meals were great. Overall good value for money.

The location is fantastic, right near Rairai Gorge, making it super convenient to explore on foot. The baths are great, open from 5 AM to 1 AM, and always clean and refreshing. The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food. There's also a shop and a massage parlor within the hotel. The room felt a bit dated but was clean and comfortable. I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance.
