About TAOYA Akiu
"TAOYA Akiu" is a hot spring resort hotel in Akiu Onsen in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. While carrying on the tradition and dignity of the long-established Iwanumaya inn, it offers an elegant stay in a luxurious all-inclusive style. Its skin-friendly natural hot spring, a sodium-calcium chloride spring, can be enjoyed in two distinctive large public baths: Kaze no Ne, built entirely of wood, and Taki no Ne, built of stone. Each bath area is equipped with a dry sauna, cold plunge bath, and open-air bath where you can feel the natural beauty of the four seasons, creating a blissful time that gently loosens both body and mind. After bathing, you can unwind in the fireplace lounge with a free drink in hand, enjoying a relaxing experience that helps you forget the everyday.
