Book Shiogama hotels

For those visitors hoping to find accommodation options close to Shiogama's heart, there are a number of options within a 10-kilometre radius.

Shiogama may not be regarded for being the accommodation capital of Miyagi, however the Hotel Route-Inn Tagajo Eki Higashi is close enough to the downtown buzz to keep most travellers happy.

The The Westin Sendai is 17 kilometres from the heart of Shiogama. Alternatively, the Sendai Royal Park Hotel can be found 19 kilometres away. Some other places to stay worth checking out include the Hotel Route-Inn Sendai Taiwa Inter and the Hotel Metropolitan Sendai.

After you have got to know Shiogama, you should leave time to visit the other attractions in the Tohoku area. If you love nature, be sure to explore Tohoku's forests, lakes, mountains and active volcanos. You should also explore some of the region's ruins, castles and old towns. Or join the locals in the snowboarding while you're here.

Don't blow through before you have checked out the Sumikawa Snow Park and Takimidai Lookout in Zao. Should you wish to spend a night or two in Zao, check out the Miyagi Zao Royal Hotel and CHIKUSENSO Mt.Zao Onsen Resort&Spa. 30 kilometres to the west of Shiogama you can also stay at Akiu Onsen, which is home to the 1000 Years of Tradition - Akiu Onsen Sakan and Sendai Akiu Spa Hotel Iwanumaya. If you're staying in Akiu Onsen, set aside a little time to check out the Lake Kamafusa Dam and Rairaikyo Gorge.

Before you head home, why not spend an afternoon rubbing shoulders and cheering along with local sports obsessives at a local sporting fixture? Miyagi Baseball Stadium is 14 kilometres to the southwest of Shiogama. Stay right near the action at the The Westin Sendai or the Hotel Metropolitan Sendai.

If you're travelling into or out of Sendai Airport and would like to stay nearby, try the Hotel Route-Inn Natori or the Weekly-Sho Sendai Natori.
