Yamaboushi  

On the outskirts of Sendai, this ryokan sits near Spring Valley Izumi Kogen Ski Area and Mt. Izumigatake, about 15 km from the city center. Nearby draws include Saihoji Temple and Sendai-Izumi Premium Outlets — a ski-friendly base with onsen access.

Yamaboushi is a low-key ryokan with 32 guestrooms that blend simple comfort and practical touches. Rooms offer refrigerators, TVs, bathrooms with bidets and complimentary toiletries, safes, and daily housekeeping; exact room equipment varies by category.

Soak in hot springs (onsen) and unwind in the sauna after a day on the slopes. The property also features karaoke, free self-parking, an elevator, and complimentary train station pick-up service — wake up to crisp mountain-air mornings and hit the runs.

Wi-Fi is available on site, and free self-parking makes drives easy. A safe-deposit box is provided and the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

An on-site restaurant serves hotel meals so you can refuel without heading out. Perfect for quick dinners after skiing or a soaking session in the onsen.
