Hotel New Mitoya

In Akiu Hot Spring Village, an annex of Sendai, tucked into lush seasonal nature. About 14 km from Sendai city center and a 30-minute ride from JR Sendai Station, the hotel offers free pick-up shuttles for easy access to the city and surrounding sights.

Rooms feature tatami flooring, low tables, flat-screen TVs and fridges, plus kettles and yukata robes for that full onsen vibe. Private bathrooms come with tubs and toiletries. The property has a small art gallery showcasing historic pots and tableware, and promises sixteen kinds of hot springs to unwind in.

Natural hot spring baths both indoor and outdoor, an indoor swimming pool, massage salon and sauna set the relaxation tone. Fun extras include table tennis, a karaoke lounge, kid playrooms and an on-site gift shop. Free parking and an elevator make the stay convenient and accessible—wake up to forest-scented mornings and hot-spring evenings.

Free Wi‑Fi is available in public areas, and a complimentary internet PC sits in the lobby for quick work or bookings.

Multiple on-site options tempt you: Restaurant Iwashimizu serves a lavish breakfast buffet with Western and Japanese choices, Tou-en specializes in ramen, and Ume-no-sato offers delicately prepared traditional Japanese meals using carefully selected, seasonal ingredients.
