溫泉山荘大根花 (Daikon-No-Hana)

這裡已經是第三次來了。每次都住不同有私湯的房間。這次是靠近河邊的Mikazuki 房間的湯比較小,是單人湯。checking後 趕快直奔戶外私湯，想不到有三日本女子也是熟門熟路的衝了去。我們慢了一步，但是10多分鐘後 我們竟然同時結束，完美交接的更換湯。 這次天氣很好有陽光。可惜沒有雪了。下次1-3月再來

I can’t say enough good things about this ryokan. From the minute you pull into the parking lot, till the minute you drive away you are given excellent service. The ryokan is quiet and serene, you barely see anyone and all of the bathes were available each time we wanted to go to one. The acorn cottage was one of my favorites spaces to relax and enjoy the serenity and calmness that this beautiful ryokan offers.

Transportation: easiest with a 50-min taxi ride from Sendai airport unless int’l traveler wants to transfer via trains/buses. Nearest bus stop/little township is 遠刈田溫泉 (13-min by foot to the Inn). Key feature is open air onsens in forestry — this is why I chose to stay. Delightful breakfast and dinner (during dinner, there are all-inclusive drinks menu + additional charge ones). I enjoyed the 2nd night’s beef/daikon pot in particular. There are hearth side afternoon refreshment, happy hour beer, post-dinner snack that you will be kept fed warmly. The aircon in Buna room would blow directly on the head so the fan blade should be adjusted. Staff English speaking capability varies but they made every effort in solving problems. Little hiccup after checking out that the bus time table the Inn indicated was outdated, but I still managed to change my route in the fly, which is the beauty traveling in Japan.
