Hotels in Matsushima

I was traveling solo through Matsushima Bay and I found this amazing Ryokan through an AI/Google search. I was highly impressed with service provided by the staff! I especially liked their use of some cool technology I had not seen before (it was a set up of two microphones, one facing the guest and one facing the staff, that automatically translated speech to text for display on a digital board between us as we spoke to each other). This was extremely helpful during my check in/out process...

Ichinobo is a fantastic hotel with hot spring onsen facilities. We chose a room with a private open-air, full-sized immersion bath and it was well worth the extra price. The ocean and garden view from our private bath was magnificent and the bath area was designed for complete privacy so we could use the lounge reclining seats with complete freedom. We were concerned about the buffet-style dining because we expected a cafeteria-style setup with mediocre food, but it was completely different....

Good food, free drink, shuttle service available. We will be back.

Very good onsen, noodles & desserts at night time Clean room but relatively small

There were few staff, but they were all very kind and efficient in their jobs. The area is fairly quiet, but that is the nature of the town. They didn't speak much English, but they tried to accommodate me where possible.

This was a nice clean hotel close to both the airport and to the Takayama Beach Company. Booking was easy. They were prepared for us and check in was very easy as well.

良くも悪くもない、普通のルートインです。 チェックイン前に着いてしまったけど、早く入れてくれました。 コンビニも近くにあるし、隣のマッサージ屋さんも夜中の2時までやっていたので行ってみた。ただ、閉店間際だと混んでいたので予約した方が良さそうです。

This property and service are superb. The only improvement I would suggest is that the shower water temperature often varies, with a sudden burst of very HOT water. It would be nice to be able to order room service,too. Thank you for a beautiful visit.
