THE YUKAWA Ichijoh Branch
10/10 Exceptional - Based on 1 reviews
THE YUKAWA Ichijoh Branch is a small riverside suite hotel developed by a long-established ryokan operator in the Kamazaki Onsen area near Shiroishi, Miyagi. Set on the banks of a wooded stream, the property frames seasonal views from every guest space and places emphasis on quiet, restorative stays rather than large-scale resort activity. The design and service language on site stresses “deep breathing” and immersion in nature, making it a purposeful choice for travelers seeking a ryokan with onsen in Tohoku that prioritizes calm and privacy.
Accommodations are composed of eleven suites, each fitted with a private terrace and an open-air, source-fed outdoor bath (onsen) directly connected to the local hot spring. Room types range from compact villa suites to larger panorama and flagship YUKAWA suites; many descriptions note river views and substantial terraces with garden seating. In addition to in-room baths, the property operates two reservable private rotenburo for guests who prefer a fully detached bathing experience, and the bathing facilities are described as flowing directly from the source, which supports the classification as a ryokan with private onsen in Miyagi.
On-site facilities include a single intimate dining room with private terrace dining options, a bar offering regional sake and whiskies, and a small wellness menu of massages and spa treatments. Practical amenities mention complimentary Wi‑Fi, on‑site parking and a shuttle connection from nearby train stations, making the hotel accessible for both driving and rail-based itineraries. The overall offering targets adults and couples seeking a suite-focused, nature-led hot-spring stay with concentrated service and straightforward access to the surrounding landscape.
