Hostels in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Hotel is about 15 min walk to one public onsen  and 25 mins to the next.  The surrounding hotels have day passes that you can pay to enter but times are very limited.  The town is pretty dead so not much to see.  Kokeshi museum is about a 50 minute walk from the hotel.  Since it was pouring the whole time, I didn’t venture out to it.  Hotel staff was very kind and patient to explain local attractions.  I think the area just doesn’t have much to offer.

The staff's response and care were warm. Since I stayed at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I was entertained at seasonal events such as Toshikoshi soba, New Year's Day, and Mochi making. (in the reservation of Trip.com, it was a little disappointing that the meal plan was not selected and the menu was different from other guests ...) It was also a very valuable experience to learn about the earthquake at the facility where the remnants of elementary schools remain. The walls of the room were thin so I could hear the sound of the next room quite a bit, but the view was good and the air conditioner and fan heater were prepared and comfortable.
