Zao Dairy Farm

overall it was good, thanks

This is a lovely hotel and so beautiful. My family and I loved the decorations. The room had everything we needed. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant on the 6th floor and it was easily the most beautiful multi course meal I've had, maybe ever! When we checked out we had 2 hours until our train and they have a luggage room and were happy to watch our bags for an hour or so. We didn't try the onsen, I have large tattoos. The bathtub in the room is both deep and long, though. This hotel is by both the Sendai Station and mall with lots of eating and shopping opportunities. I definitely recommend this place to impress.

Rather like taking a Ryokan experience and superimposing a luxury spa. We did not even manage to get our bags into the entry without having a young attendant in kimono insist upon her loading them into a luggage cart and bringing them inside for us. Staff had very little English but made every effort to make our sign-in seamless. We had a traditional tatami room, which was more like a small house in scale. The onsen experience was delightful. Breakfast and dinners we took in the Japanese restaurant, all top quality. We were the only non-Japanese guests (at least, we never saw any others). Our room had traditional floor seating but also a sitting area next to the balcony with regular chairs/table, lovely view and very quiet (at least until the buses started their motors in the morning).
