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.

The guesthouse is in a great location, close to the pier and the temple.
The room and facilities were exceptionally clean.
And most importantly the host is so friendly and helpful! He speaks perfect English and was eager to talk about Japanese culture and listen about ours :)

Scenic little town with lots to view. We walked the town and explored all the tourist sights. Took a short boat ride around the bay for 1000¥ ,if you want to sit upstairs on boat you’ll need to pay another 600¥. Main Shrine currently under renovation

It's amazing. There's such an incredible amount to do and see. We explored for 5 hours two days in a row in the freezing cold and would do it again in a heartbeat it was so nice. So many restaurants, hotels, gift shops, places of outstanding beauty, museums... 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.
Most of all I loved how the staff treated us, they responded to all of our requests. Especially grateful to the dinner and breakfast manager. I appreciate them preparing vegan meals and taking into account all of our food restrictions.
Location is great, within walking distance to all the main attractions.
The Hotel has an open roof where you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise/sunset view in Matsushima.
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.
It was a perfect day in October to be staying at this lovely ryokan. The atmosphere was nostalgic, the baths were simple yet relaxing (and tattoo friendly!), and waking up to the morning sun on the futon was delightful. The hosts were very kind, and they seemed to really love running this place. I had a full spread of japanese breakfast and it was a great start to my day.
Absolutely beautiful hotel, with the nicest owners and staff. Our rooms were comfy and well appointed in the traditional Japanese style. The breakfast was very nice and inexpensive, we liked having 3 main choices. Location was great, a nice stroll into town, and we had a great view of the fireworks on our last night. One member of our party also enjoyed the onsen!!
The owner was an amazing guy, he speaks fluent English, and was very passionate about Matsushima. Gave me a great recommendation about where to eat lunch, and a couple places I absolutely had to see in my short stay there. The home was super comfortable, and the location was as good as you can get if you want to be next to the coast/temples/downtown.
It was absolutely beautiful with a view of the bay from our room. The room was very nicely decorated and spacious. Staff were so nice and helpful! And the food is excellent. We loved soaking our feet on the terrace!
We really liked our stay in this guesthouse. The host is super friendly and speaks very good English.
The rooms are very clean and the guesthouse is close to the main area in Matsushima. We would totally recommend it!
The views from the room and from the onsen were great. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was absolutely amazing - the best I've had in Japan. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English.
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 hotel was quite nice, little bit old fashioned, but clean. The room was large enough, in traditional Japanese style (tatami).
The spa ("onsen") was really good, we enjoy it very much!
Very large room. Very friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner with large buffet. Easy walk to main street of Matsushima. We recommend and would return.
