We arrived at Matsushima kaigan JRStation with our luggage in tow. Not seeing the pay phones conveniently located by the station to request a shuttle, we walked the hill to Matsushima Breezbay. Check in was very smooth and the staff were kindly using English to assist with explanations of the facility. Our room was clean and very nicely situated with a partial view of Matsushima Bay. We reserved the ‘half board’ option which included delicious Shabu-Shabu (Japanese hotpot) featuring Matsushima’s famous oysters (Kaki) and Sendai’ Beef Tongue (Gyutan). Dinner also included a generous buffet you can enjoy as your hotpot heats up. Breakfast was an equally generous mix of Japanese and Western offerings including sausage, pre-made hot cakes and Belgian waffles, salad, rice, pickles and deep fried oysters. Both meals were delicious! Both nights we stayed, we made use of the private bath. The included shampoo, conditioner and body lotions were handy and the bubbling waters of the bath melted all the stress away. My only negative comment for the baths though was the strong smell of chlorine emanating from the water. My favorite part of the hotel was watching the sunset over Matsushima Bay whilst enjoying the delicious meals and awaking early in the morning and hearing the birds outside. Such a relaxing stay!

Lovely view of bay from dining room. Staff superb. Initial pillows provided for bed were thin, but staff gladly provided thicker ones upon request. Further and steeper walk from train station than we anticipated, but easy taxi service always available to/from hotel. Only regret is that we did not use bath,, and too short of stay. Matsushima is beautiful and culturally rich.

A comfortable resort hotel with reasonable size rooms and friendly staff. They offer very good shabu shabu dinner at affordable price. The best part is that they offer private onsens for couples and family with no extra charges. The only problem is the location up a hill side not easy to access on foot. However they do offer free shuttle van to the JR station at short notice. We enjoy the food and the onsen. Good for value. They have western style and japanese style rooms. we are very happy to have a choice as we are not comfortable to sleep on tatami.
