Hotel Pemandian Air Panas di Sendai

Sendai has become my second favorite city in Japan. It offers the perfect blend of chill and urban vibes — not as crowded as Tokyo, Osaka, or Sapporo, yet equally lively and enjoyable. This capsule hotel is located right along the main business street, making it very convenient for dining and shopping. There’s even an Ichiran Ramen just next door, and a famous Taiyaki shop only a 2–3 minute walk away. Sendai Station is about a 10-minute walk from the property. However, one downside is the confusing luggage policy. The hotel rules state that large luggage cannot be brought into the sleeping area, so I rented a chain lock (JPY 100) to secure my suitcase in the hallway. Despite this, many guests still brought their bags inside, so the rule seemed inconsistently enforced. For guests like me who followed the policy, it was a bit inconvenient since my capsule was quite far from the hallway and it was troublesome to retrieve my belongings each time.

旅館職員友善、有禮及熱心提供幫忙。 晚餐料理賣相精緻，自助早餐食物選擇繁多。 睡房設施齊全整潔，乾濕廁所分離。 溫泉舒適，但前往室外露天風呂時需要走40多級樓梯。 唯一美中不足的是座廁無法沖廁，致電職員後即時提供協助卻無法即時維修，最終需要使用另一間房間的座廁。
