Classic onsen hotel, and an excellent chance to soak in the geothermal water at Akiu. Very helpful staff (N.B. not all staff speak English, but Google translate is very helpful.) The buffet dinner had lots of good options (though, again, take your smartphone so you can translate the labels.) Quite good value, when you consider the included meals. I didn't realise there was a shuttle service available from Sendai JR station - it is possible to get to Akiu on a public bus, but it takes a while, and isn't very regular.

TAOYA Akiu is a excellent Japanese onsen hotel near Sendai. The room is super clean and the size of the room is perfect for small family to live in. The food is delicious especially the Japanese cuisine. The hotel offers the free drinks to all guests all day.

Taoya Aiku is a beautiful hotel. The lounge provide free drinks and snacks through the day free. Breakfast and dinner are buffet style. Very generous spread of Japanese cruisine, small corner of Italian, soft drinks, beer, coffee/tea, wide variety of soda to mix on your own for both breakfast and dinner (of course no beer during breakfast). There are also massage chairs, a beautiful library, table tennis and karaoke room, all free but need to reserve with the front desk. A perfect place to rest and relax without need to venture out. The onsen is big and spacious, has both indoor and outdoor. The room was slightly older but is well kept. We booked a big ryoken room for 6 of us to spend 3 nights together. This place is not within walking distance of train or bus station and definitely need to drive unless you are planning to take their shuttle service. All the staff only speaks Japanese and majority of the guests are local. Nice because more privacy and quiet environment. It is a very nice hotel which emphasise on comfort and style.

We loved everything about our stay. The staff, the facilities, the room, the food, the baths, enjoying yukata life. We have been travelling around Japan for weeks and this place was the first place to feel like a relaxing holiday. We were a little concerned given the cost that we wouldn't find it worth it but we loved it and only wish we could have stayed longer. A very memorable time

The ambient motivates you to relax. The thermal baths are for men and women separated from each other. They change everyday the assigned gender to enjoy both. The food is served as a buffet and is delicious. They serve typical dishes from the region. You enter the place and you don't want to get out.
