Miyagi Matsushima Town
Supreme relaxation with skin-beautifying water from its own source, Taiko Tensen, and an authentic sauna
Oedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Hotel Sohkan is an onsen hotel in Matsushima, Miyagi District, Miyagi. Its pride is Matsushima Onsen from its own source, Taiko Tensen, with water that feels silky on the skin. You can enjoy this renowned water in the spacious glass-walled indoor bath and in a roofless open-air bath with a wonderful sense of openness. There is also an authentic dry sauna for recharging in pleasant heat. After your bath, spend a luxurious moment in the Premium Lounge, where alcohol and soft drinks are free, or on the outside terrace, where you can feel the sea breeze.

The main bathhouse draws on Matsushima Onsen, known as Taiko Tensen. The water is a blend of a chloride spring, which holds in warmth well, and a sulfate spring, which is gentle on the skin. The glass-walled indoor bath has a high ceiling and a wonderfully open feel. Above the roofless open-air bath, blue sky spreads out by day and a sky full of stars by night, and together with Matsushima’s charming scenery you can enjoy a soak that seems to cleanse body and mind.

An authentic dry sauna with a clean feel. In its solid heat you can take your time with yourself and enjoy a pleasant sweat. There is no cold plunge, but after cooling down with the cold water for dousing beside the sauna or a cold shower, cooling off in the open air on a chair by the open-air bath brings deep relaxation as you feel the Matsushima breeze.
