Sendai

Adoro a conveniência do JR Pass, pois ele conecta todos os pontos de interesse via Shinkansen. Apenas que está ficando cada vez mais caro… as notícias informaram que o preço aumentará novamente em outubro, então é melhor eu usá-lo agora 😂 A Klook tornou a compra fácil e conveniente. Recebi o passe em menos de 5 dias via DHL 👍🏻

O itinerário desta viagem foi: Dia 1, do Aeroporto de Narita, pegamos o Narita Express (N'EX) para a Estação de Tóquio, e depois trocamos para o Shinkansen até a Estação de Yamagata. Dia 2, de Yamagata → Shinjo → Oishida → Yamagata. Originalmente, iríamos fazer um passeio de barco no Rio Mogami, mas devido à forte neve, voltamos e fomos para Ginzan Onsen. Dia 3, de manhã, fomos para Zao para pegar o teleférico. À tarde, pegamos o Shinkansen de Yamagata → Fukushima → Sendai → Lago Tazawa. Dia 4, pegamos o ônibus circular do Lago Tazawa, e depois de Lago Tazawa → Morioka → Shin-Aomori (de Shin-Aomori → Aomori, devido à forte neve, o JR estava suspenso e pegamos um ônibus para o centro da cidade). Dia 5, passeio pela cidade de Aomori. De Shin-Aomori → Shin-Hakodate → Shin-Hakodate → Hakodate (o JR Pass também pode ser usado no Hakodate Liner!). Pegamos o teleférico para o Monte Hakodate para ver a vista noturna. Dia 6, passeio pela cidade de Hakodate. De Hakodate → Toya (Hokuto) → em frente à Estação de Toya → Toyako Onsen (ônibus). À noite, apreciamos o Festival de Fogos de Artifício e Iluminação de Inverno de Toya, que foi super lindo.

O JR Pass pode ser usado para calcular se vale a pena o custo de viajar de Shinkansen, trem, etc., ao planejar seu itinerário. Metrôs, bondes e ônibus usam o cartão Suica, o que também é conveniente! Não é preciso comprar passagens para o Shinkansen antes de cada viagem, e os assentos do Shinkansen também precisam ser reservados! O JR Pass pode ser usado como um cartão único, o que é muito conveniente para quem visita vários pontos turísticos distantes!

Overall, my stay at this hotel was quite pleasant. The front desk staff was friendly, clear, and efficient during check-in, making me feel valued. The room was a decent size, clean, and the bed was soft and comfortable, allowing for a restful sleep. The room was well-equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and toiletries, all of which were convenient to use. The hotel environment was quiet, with good soundproofing, so I wasn't disturbed during the night. The public areas were kept very clean, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The location was also convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to get around. All in all, this stay was satisfactory. The service quality, cleanliness, and comfort were all excellent. If I have the opportunity, I would be willing to stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family.

Small room but that just makes it more cozy. Great selection of free amenities. staff were all wonderful. The location is honestly the best once you gauge where things are. The Sendai station is just down the street. Multiple convenience stores. Department mall is attached to the station.

The location is convenient, about 6-8 minutes from Sendai Station. There's a 7-Eleven and Starbucks downstairs, and Sendai Morning Market and a Zenzirou branch next door. There are many restaurants and drugstores nearby. The hotel staff are very kind, friendly, attentive, and polite! The twin room is quite spacious, the shower pressure is good, and the hairdryer is powerful, so long hair is not an issue. The amenities are new and clean, though there are only two-prong outlets and USB ports, but the room has a 3-in-1 charging cable, which is great! 👍🏻

The accommodation experience was first-class. This was my first stay at a Hoshino Resorts KAI property, and the hot springs were excellent. Both meals included in the half-board plan were delicious. I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely consider Hoshino Resorts KAI properties first when choosing hotels in the future.

Some reviews said that it's a distance from the station but it actually wasn't that bad. It's also just a short walk to the morning market and a stroll to CLIS road. Plenty of eateries and conbini around. The room is clean and bigger than normal Japanese size, loads of amenities and beverage packages available in the lobby.

I stayed for 2 nights and it was clean, comfortable, with great amenities including a smart tv. Also had a great view! hotel location: The hotel location was very convenient being connected to Sendai station, it’s easy to find, and numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance so you don’t have to go far, and don’t have to stress about being late to your train when leaving. I was able to store my luggage after checking out free of charge so I could spend my day in Sendai. Would stay here again!
