[2025 Sendai Stay] Travel Guide for TAOYA Akiu (Updated May)

📍TAOYA Akiu 107, Yumoto Yakushi, Akiu-cho, Taihaku-ku, Sendai-shi, Miyagi Last year, the long-established hot spring inn "Iwanumaya", which has a history of about 400 years, opened as a new brand "TAOYA Akiu" of Oedo Onsen Monogatari! ! A hot spring resort hotel where you can enjoy all-inclusive, casual in-house services and enjoy an elegant hotel stay 《Facilities》 Part of the building has been renovated. The ceilings and lighting that give a sense of history, and the well-maintained garden remain as they are, and I was enchanted by the world of silvery white snow. When the heavy wooden door at the entrance opens, you are greeted by a large lobby lounge. The fireplace is lit at night, and you can relax while watching the flames. Before going to your room, choose a yukata. In the chest of drawers modeled after the traditional craft, Sendai chest of drawers, there are six yukatas of different sizes and patterns. These bright red berries look great on the chest of drawers. You'll want to take pictures right away. There is no distinction between men and women, so you can choose your favorite pattern. Some men were wearing floral patterns. I stayed in the newly built Japanese-style bedroom in the main building. Even if you open your suitcase, there is plenty of space, and you can lie down on the large sofa and watch TV. If you go further back from the front desk, you will find the lounge. There are beer and highball taps, drinks such as vinegar and juice, snacks, and ice cream lined up on the counter. All of these are free!! The bottles lined up on the shelves at the back are for decoration, so you can't drink them, but... It's a photogenic spot! I saw many people taking commemorative photos. The all-inclusive plan also includes activities, and table tennis and board games that can be borrowed from the front desk are free. High-performance massage chairs and a library lounge are also free. Soft drinks are also served. A blissful space for book lovers! Creamy curry udon is available for dinner at the Library Lounge. 《Food》 A wide variety of Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes are served for dinner. Sashimi, sushi, pasta, pizza, chawanmushi, and many other dishes that go well with alcohol... The live kitchen offers freshly steamed dim sum, freshly fried tempura, and freshly grilled steaks! And thick beef tongue! Oysters are a must-try when you come to Sendai. Large fried oysters, oyster gratin, etc. The seasonal specialty, parsley hotpot, is served in a small pot at your table. Alcohol is also all-you-can-drink!! In addition to draft beer and sours, there is sake, shochu, craft gin, wine, and more... There is also a wide selection of desserts. Even Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Breakfast is also buffet style! A seafood bowl that you make yourself. Lots of fresh sashimi to start the morning off with! Sparkling wine is also free. My stomach was about to burst. 《Hot Springs》 Akiu Onsen has a history of over 1500 years. There are two types of large baths, "Takinooto" and "Kazenooto". Men and women switch baths at night, so you can use either bath. Takinooto is a bath where you can enjoy the garden. You can enjoy the autumn leaves in the fall and the snow in the winter. Kazenooto is a bath with an impressive high ceiling. Both baths have saunas and cold baths. And for women, there are ReFa and Mirabelle shower heads!! Towels are provided in the dressing room, so it's easy not to have to bring towels from your room!! The hair dryer is a Dyson Nano Care💕 I was very satisfied with the inn in every way. I recommend it! #AccommodationTrip #Miyagi #AkiuOnsen #MiyagiTourism #Hotel #AllInclusive

Akiu Great Falls - a vertical waterfall with a width of 6 meters and a height difference of 55 meters. It is listed as one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan along with Kegon Falls (Tochigi Prefecture) and Nachi Falls (Wakayama Prefecture). It is also one of the top 100 waterfalls in Japan and the most famous waterfall in Sendai. It is magnificent and spectacular. We drove there. Because it was morning, there were fewer people. Those who were too lazy to climb down could also take pictures on the bridge. It is not far to walk down, but it is a bit steep to walk up, so you will still feel tired, so you have to climb slowly. There are also many trails next to it where people can walk leisurely.

TAOYA Akiu is a resort-style hot spring inn located in Akiu Onsen, Miyagi Prefecture, where you can enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by the beautiful nature of the four seasons. From the open-air bath, you can view the babbling river and autumn leaves, refreshing both body and mind. Next to the inn is a popular local supermarket called "Saichi," which is famous for its ohagi, and is a popular spot for many tourists who visit.
