Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Impressed me before I even got out of the car.
I checked in a bit late in the evening, and as I turned off the main road, my car crossed over a stone bridge suspended over a small ravine carved by the river below. That bridge really separates the Chikusenso from reality. As I parked, I was promptly greeted by a staff member with a flashlight and politely ushered into the reception area. Aesthetically, the whole hotel is a work of art. Rich with wood, stone, and tasteful art pieces to complement the different areas of the hotel, the whole place has a traditional feel, yet mixes in modernity. The best example of this is the shower area in the rooms. It's almost all stone, dark forest green with enough space to comfortably fit two. The staff is excellent and the facilities are spotless. They have outdoor, private baths with great views of the surrounding forest. A great bar, forest trails, spa, and free espresso machines in your room. You'll want for nothing in terms of modern convenience, yet leave with a feeling of traditional Japanese culture as well.

Mountain getaway
This is a pretty special place - incredibly relaxing. There's enough english speaking staff for westerners to get by, and a very capable chef on site serving multicourse breakfast/dinner. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area, but if all you want is a quiet place to retreat and recharge this onsen is perfect. -Once you tire of the hot baths: coffee makers, water dispensers any cozy places to read a book abound. -If you email ahead (3days) there's a shuttle from/to the Sendai high speed rail station (leaving -Less busy during the week -Small gym with two treadmills and a cable machine -Two gender segregated baths (male and female) and two preservable private baths. Our room also had a spectacular shower + tub that I felt guilty never having needed to use -Dinner usually 5-6 courses with plenty of sashimi and delicious beef. I'm an athletic 28 year old male and I definitely didn't go hungry here.

great ryokan in Zao Onsen Miyagi
This is the highest quality Ryokan I have ever stayed in and the individual service is outstanding. However note that this is in Zao Onsen Miyagi prefecture, not the more famous Zao Onsen Yamagata prefecture. Nowhere on the hotels.com website indicate this. This is reached from Sendai, not Yamagata.

里山の竜宮城
宮城川崎からすれ違い困難な隘路を抜けてたどり着いたのは、整備の行き届いた広大な林の中のホテルでした。この宿の事前知識がないため、今回のグレードがどのランクかは不明ですが、十分な空間と適切な快適が得られました。 和洋折衷の夜食は好みの分かれる要素があり、スタッフの洗練度や観察能力には改善の余地が認められましたが、よい時間を過ごせました。他の客とのしきりを屏風で得たいところではありました。 朝食は考えられる限りの取り合わせが売りの小皿料理で、満足感を得ました。 帰りはナビの力で葛折りの道を村田に抜けました。
