Miyagi Sendai City

Stay in Akiu Onsen

Ranked as one of the “Three Great Onsen of Oshu,” this historic onsen was also cherished by Date Masamune. Its greatest appeal is its outstanding accessibility, about a 30 to 40 minute drive from central Sendai. Surrounded by magnificent natural scenery such as the scenic Rai Rai Gorge and Akiu Great Falls, one of Japan’s three most famous waterfalls, the area is lined with large luxury hotels and ryokan boasting lavish dining and extensive facilities. Because it makes it easy to combine urban sightseeing in Sendai with a high-quality onsen resort stay in nature, it is extremely popular among inbound travelers seeking convenience and comfort.
