Miyagi Matsushima Town
A place to unwind in an open-air bath with panoramic views that blend seamlessly with the beauty of Matsushima Bay, and a silky hot spring that leaves your skin feeling smooth
"Matsushima Onsen Komatsukan Kofutei" is a scenic hot spring inn in Matsushima Town, Miyagi District, Miyagi Prefecture, overlooking Matsushima Bay. Its alkaline simple hot spring, said to be the "beauty bath" nurtured by ancient geological strata, is smooth and gentle on the skin with a soft, silky feel. Guests can fully enjoy its famed waters in the panoramic public bath with an ocean view right in front of them, or in the open-air bath surrounded by the scent of the sea. With a private open-air bath featuring a standing bath with a water depth of 130 cm, as well as a foot bath with views of the sunrise, there are many ways to enjoy the hot springs.
A panoramic public bath with a beautiful view of Matsushima Bay right in front of you, and an open-air bath where you can feel the scent of the tide and the sound of the waves. The alkaline simple hot spring gushing from ancient geological strata is known as the "beauty bath" for its smooth, skin-friendly feel. In the early morning, the sea and sky become one, and you can enjoy a fantastic sunrise view with birds taking flight, all from the bathtub.
A paid private open-air bath with an intimate atmosphere, featuring a standing bath with a water depth of 130 cm. Soaking as if your body were floating softly helps release tension throughout the body and lets you relax deeply. While taking in the seascape of Matsushima spread out before you, and the divine beauty of the sunrise in the morning, you can enjoy a luxurious private bathing experience all to yourself.
A foot bath terrace where you can casually enjoy the "beauty bath" while leisurely admiring the spectacular view of Matsushima Bay. Available from sunrise through the morning, and again from the afternoon into the night, it is the perfect relaxing spot for a refresh between travels, moon-viewing, or stargazing while feeling the pleasant sea breeze.
