Sakunami Onsen Yuzukushi Salon Ichinobo Reviews

I liked the atmosphere of the hotel, it was comfortable and relaxing, and I enjoyed the drinks and sweets that were provided as a welcome. I also enjoyed the hot springs.

The staff are very friendly and although it is a buffet, most of the food is made to order, which is nice.

This is my second stay, it's wonderful. As good as I remember. The ingredients are carefully selected, of high quality and in season. The cooking is done by the master on the spot, and the combination and skills are good. The desserts are the most amazing. You must try its chestnut cake while chestnuts are still in season. Its deliciousness is hard to find in dessert shops in Tokyo. The scenery is as beautiful as ever. Looking at the mountains and forests all day long is one of the great enjoyments in life.

Feels very good, highly recommended

This is my second stay here.It's an all-inclusive hotel where you can spend a relaxing and quiet time.Everything is included in the accommodation price except for the souvenirs from the shop, so you can spend your stay without having to carry your wallet.Beer, wine, and highballs are available in the salon at the back of the lobby. We also have hand-drip coffee, so you can enjoy all of them.At night, we held a record cafe. There are also days when there is live piano music.Meals are buffet style, but each corner offers freshly prepared food prepared by chefs.This is my second stay here, and one of the deciding factors was that the food was delicious. There are many types of all-you-can-drink options, so even those who like alcohol will be satisfied.The room is small, with just a bed and a chair, but you can relax there.One thing that I thought was a mistake was the way the room looked. I was able to take a bath. It was called a hot spring club, but the elevator was far away, which was a bit of a hassle.

I stayed at Seiryukan Deluxe King Double with open-air bath 40㎡ + Terrace 12㎡. The Hammock Terrace Superior Twin on the 2nd floor of the same building where I stayed last year was also good, but it also had an open-air bath and a great view on the 5th and 6th floors and higher floors. The Satoyama area spreads out in front of you and it feels great. The open-air bath smells like wood and is spacious. You can stretch your legs. I can fit two people. The blind sliding door can be moved freely and closed, and you can also look out from the bathtub. Bathrobes were also provided which was very convenient. It is longer than Matsushima Ichinobo. The beds are king size, so perhaps they are conscious of foreign guests. The meal included more desserts and was delicious. We were also given a menu, which we didn't have last year. I would like to visit again.

I made a reservation and stayed in late October to enjoy the autumn leaves. My room was in Seiryukan, facing the mountain in front. It's nice to see the autumn leaves in the salon, but being able to have the view all to yourself from your room was the best. I've stayed here several times, but this time of year is the best. (The price was good too) The food and baths were good. Sakunami feels smaller than Matsushima. There aren't many types of food, but the quality is good. Ichino-san also runs a yakiniku restaurant, and the beef tongue is delicious because they use the meat from there. The Sendai beef steak is also a good piece of meat, juicy, tender, and delicious. I previously stayed in the hot spring club building, but the view at Seiryukan was by far the best. The scenery will be as shown on Ichinobo's website. It is also convenient to go to the bathroom. Seiryukan is said to be undergoing renovation work and will be reopened in May next year, so I'm looking forward to it. The siphon coffee made at the salon was delicious. The hot spring buns and gelato available for 2 hours from 3pm are also delicious. We recommend that you have it as soon as you check in.

The entrance is spacious and open, and the lounge has a wide variety of beverages. I was happy that there were two types of wine from Akiu Winery. The bath was spacious and had good hot water. It's also fun to tour the various open-air baths. Dinner is buffet style and crowded, so it's not like you can relax and enjoy your meal. The rooms are relatively compact. It may be a little different if you visit with the feeling of a hotel where you can spend a relaxing time enjoying meals and hot springs as a couple. I think that it is good to enjoy with friends.

There was a person who brought a smartphone into the women's open-air bath, and even if other people came in, they were taking pictures all the time. There were no women who came, and the warning itself was "No". I didn't ask for my name or room number over there, but they asked me for my name and room number in front of the person over there. It was really disappointing and unreliable. Everything else was good, but I can't bring myself to stop again.

This is my third time at Ichinobo. It's my first time since the coronavirus outbreak. They offer more services, such as gelato from a gelato shop in Natori and handmade Mont Blanc. The salon's sweets are also good, such as tiramisu. The number of dishes at dinner seems to have been reduced from before. The variety of desserts has also decreased. We had to queue for quite a while to get our food. The Sendai beef steak was delicious.

This has always been one of my favorite hotels, but it's become even more comfortable since it became all-inclusive. It's very comfortable to spend time gazing at the green mountains and the fire in the fireplace. They serve gelato from a famous shop in Natori City, and Mont Blanc is also nice. (You can enjoy it with freshly brewed coffee using a siphon) I didn't specify a room, and since I booked a cheap plan, I was in the hot spring club building, so the view wasn't so great. But the room was compact and clean. There is an indoor bath, although I didn't use it. The buffet-style dinner is of high quality. There aren't many dishes where you put the food on your plate yourself, and most of the dishes are served by the cooking staff after a little effort. The bath is perfect, as it is called "Yuzukushi Salon". However, it was raining, so the open-air bath had no roof and I got wet.
