We selected Breeze bay based on the reviews: and it did not disappoint. Although the building is not as modern or fancy as some others closer to the water, it was comfortable and provided all we could want. The facilities at the hotel are varied, and target guest relaxation: we especially enjoyed the private pool. The food in the restaurant was extremely tasty and well presented.
The staff are the best feature of this hotel. From the greeting at the front door to the service in the restaurant, the staff are friendly and efficient. For overseas guests, this personal touch makes everything more comfortable. This might seem like a small thing, but the staff were putting up a Christmas tree as we arrived, and the simple pleasure they showed, made me feel very much at home. As a final comment We were very grateful to have a taxi deliver us to and from the JR train station.

Check out time was 10:00, but the master told me it was 11:00. I think it was because I had ridden my bicycle over 400 kilometers to arrive there, and he wanted to give me time to rest. I enjoyed the room he gave me and enjoyed watching videos until late.

A location at the sea with beautiful view. The hospitality is great, staff very friendly. A nice feature is that you get to choose your own yukata. One person in particular, had lived 16 years in Spain, helped is with his English skills and gave us great service. The room was pleasant, the futons comfortable. We had a private bath on the inner waranda. Dinner was exceptional, a real wow factor. Same for breakfast, amazing.

It is really a beautiful view, with all those small islands covered with pine trees! The region is very prepared for the tourists, including bridge to one of the islands for people that like to walk around the trees!
The Zuiganji temple is one of the most beautiful I've seen!

Very beautiful coastal town!
Very beautiful coastal town!
Having two different train stations on each side of the town, makes the getting to/from very flexible and easy.
Definitely a must see when visiting Sendai or the Tohoku/Myagi Area.

This is a very nice little town and a nice place to visit - I would go back. Good harbour cruise, nice temple visit - there are three close together.
Oh and the castle shown on google maps is FAKE; its not a castle its a private residence.

Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer...
Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer - also like any other traditional Japanese town it closes down at 6 PM - literally. Most restaurants and shops are closed, the streets atr dark. Not much to do. It is a great place for a short stopover.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, large room with private bathroom and toilet. Great view onto the bay. Accessible rooftop with 360° view. Multiple shared baths (onsen) including outdoor bath. The first morning there was a buffet style breakfast as advertised, the second morning a rich traditional Japanese style breakfast. The free shuttle service from / to the train station is convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
An Amazing place with the most beautiful view of Matsushima Bay. The staff was dedicated, very friendly, and helpful; they can speak English too. The hotel has several services like a Private Bath, a souvenir store, a lounge with an excellent view of the bay, and a foot bath, and they offer welcome drinks like matcha and other juices. The room is so good with a spectacular view of the Bay. I strongly suggest this place.
The hotel is very charming and elegant. Rooms and common space are beautiful, the onsen is also very pleasant. The owners and staff are extremely welcoming, cheerful and caring, They even took us to the train station because we had a lot of luggage. Our kids felt very comfortable with them and their cute dogs. Main tourist attractions and train station within walking distance.
The excellent breakfast, the jazz music, the wood fire in the evening, the proximity to the town and the park nearby, the easy washing machine and dryer, pleasant, helpful staff. Also the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The Japanese baths were great. We hadn't expected those- so an added extra.The free shuttle service to the station was a good help.
Our room had a picturesque view of the bay. The outdoor private onsen was superb. It's a short walk from the property to the red bridge connecting to Fukuura island, and also a walking distance to the Entsuin temple complex. Japanese breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the outdoor foot bath in the evening. It was an overall lovely ryokan with English-speaking staff.
The location was the best in Matsushima. It was just off the main bay road, but you heard no traffic. Nothing closer could be so quiet. The proprietor Agsh was considerate and attended to all my needs effortlessly. He made it very easy for this non-Japanese speaker. I heard him speaking a few other languages with guests beyond English.
Really kind staff, absolutely gorgeous building, comfortable and clean bedrooms: this ryokan is a perfect affordable place to stay to explore Matsushima! You can also rest in the onsen after a long day of walking. The location and atmosphere of the ryokan is calm and quiet, and I slept extremely well.
This was a modern Japanese style hotel, with a wonderful onsen and fantastic views. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They even gave us a half bottle of sparkling wine for my birthday, which was much appreciated!
We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend.
This was the best experience I’ve had in Japan. The staff were extremely welcoming and it felt like I was staying with friends. The restaurant was fabulous and the location was great. My room was on the bayside and I would watch the sun rise each morning, breathtaking.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us like we are an important guest when we checked in. The breakfast was superb. At first, I thought it was a buffet but it was actually a Japanese set meal served in a private room, much better than expected.
The room is very large and very well maintained. The hotel overall was a surprise, it's really nice and well designed, much better than most hotels at this price range. Lastly, the owners are very friendly and made our stay a pleasure.
The beautiful hotel had an excellent room with a view. We do not like buffets, but we made exception. Each main meal was made to order. Best high quality sushi and steak. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Great onsen (women and men separate) with a view on the Matsushima bay from the 5th floor, delicious meals prepared in front of you, refreshments during the day included. Overall very nice chilled experience!
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They waited for us for dinner because we got lost finding the hotel. The food was very good and the onsen was relaxing. and uncrowded.
nice view of Matsushima bay , cosy room .good private onsen .complimentary shuttle bus. fluent English staffs . complimentary Sake and juice upon arrival.
