★★★ 7.4 (10 reviews)

"I've stayed here before and the service, hot springs, and food were all excellent, so I'm back for a repeat stay. I was once again very satisfied with my stay. In addition to the usual free drinks, the pre-meal sours and soda plum cocktails were also great. The sashimi and steak were particularly delicious. I also love the clear spring water, which warms the skin nicely. This is an inn I'd definitely like to visit again."

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro

📍 3 Tōgattaonsen Motomachi, Zao
★★★ 8.8 (31 reviews)

"We booked our accommodation for the night at Ryokan Sanjiro in Togatta Onsen. Traveling down the Zao Echo Line from the top of Mt. Zao towards Miyagi, we arrived at Togatta Onsenkyo. Ryokan Sanjiro was built on a small hill on the east side of Togatta Onsen town. It is a medium-sized Japanese-style inn with a number of different paths to follow, each one of which was lovely with its own quaint space. From the large public baths, Katsupa no Yu and Togen no Yu, we had a magnificent view of the Zao mountain range. Dinner at a restaurant called Kamado was a seasonal kaiseki meal made with locally produced in-season ingredients, which we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere, along with some local Miyagi sake."

📍 Sarutani-13-1 Togattaonsen, Katta District, Zao
★★★★ 9.5 (3 reviews)

"The starry sky at night is superb, there are so many, you can clearly see every star twinkling. The staff is very polite and attentive, scoring 1200 points Unexpected thing, including breakfast and dinner is your choice I am better than the Café de Coral breakfast picture. They all try their best to look the same There is an independent barbecue grill, clothes rack, heater and fresh air blower The disadvantage is the location, not in the city center But I can’t, it’s like this when you kiss nature Another drawback is that the toilet and bathroom are not inside the tent. It takes more than ten steps to walk to customerService Each tent has its own private bathroom It is very convenient to get to Fujin Hot Spring"

"Excellent hotel, conveniently located. The hotel has its own onsen and in the evening it is almost always empty, because the Japanese leave after 18:00."

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro ★★★
"The bathtub was moldy, and the price wasn't low compared to other hotels in the area. There was no Wi-Fi in the room. The staff were friendly but didn't resolve the issues. I stayed two days in total, with one day in between, and they lied to me saying there were no rooms available. They were just trying to save on cleaning fees. I guess there aren't many Chinese people here. It's definitely not as good as some other hotels nearby, which are cheaper and have better views. This hotel is more suitable for taking photos. The furnishings are okay, but everything else is just so-so."

Tamaya Ryokan ★★★
"The room was clean, and the public bath was new and tidy. Private bath access is free; no reservation is needed (can be used whenever no one is present). The water temperature was quite high, which soothed my feet from walking so much during the trip. A 150 yen per person per night fee applies upon check-out. On a clear day, you can easily see a sky full of stars."

"The service attitude of the staff is very good. Although their English proficiency is not high, they are still willing to communicate through mobile phone translation and try their best to provide assistance. I checked in at the beginning of December 2024. Due to the onset of winter, the temperature dropped and snow began to fall. I was not sure whether some attractions were open, such as Zao Juhyo, Zao Ski Resort, and Central Ropeway Station. The staff took the trouble to go online and call for inquiries. Let us make good use of our sightseeing time."

Yutomori Club ★★★
"Although the reception staff at Zao no Mori Club didn't understand much English, they were sincere and polite and it wasn't difficult to communicate with them. The hotel is located in the mountains with a very quiet and beautiful environment. However, after taking a bus from Sendai Station to Togatta Onsen Station, there were no taxis in the town because it was a small town and it was Saturday. Later, a Japanese man with a ram led the way. He led a group of 8 of us and pushed the luggage boxes across the mountain and walked for about 45 minutes to get to the hotel. If the hotel could rearrange a toll car to pick us up from Sendai Station, we would definitely be happy to visit again."

"Stayed in this hotel for two days. The meals were different. The staff introduced the hotel's facilities. There was a car to pick up guests to nearby small attractions. The service was quite satisfactory. Suitable for leisure vacation."

"I stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days, using the Zao Eboshi ski resort. The snowboard rental shop and convenience store were nearby, so I was happy. The food wasn't bad. It might not be the most delicious, though. The food service staff were Bangladeshi and worked hard. The hot springs were perfectly warm and lovely at night, but the open-air bath was too hot to use in the morning. It must have been around 44-45 degrees Celsius. Maybe it varies from day to day."
