Matsushima Godaido Temple Hotels

"This is an older place so if you are looking for sparkling accommodation maybe not here. If you want a more traditional Japanese hotel this is a good choice. Great free breakfast. Private onsen by reservation. Free beer and noodles along with other snacks each evening from 4-6. Larger room than many Japanese hotels. The staff is fantastic. Free shuttle to the train station. Be aware if you are walking with luggage there is a major hill to climb. Call the hotel and they will send a car anytime...

"We reserved a non-smoking room, but it reeked of smoke! We were given another room, which was just the same. Since it was late, it wasn’t possible to find another hotel, so we had to stay in the smoky “non-smoking” room. The food was included in the stay, but we still ended up paying a dinner fee — so much for “included.” The only thing nice was the view. "

"2食付き高級温泉旅館と言うことで、食事の期待も大きかったのですが、普通のバイキングで少しがっかり、でも部屋と温泉は良かったです。"

"Clean room, lovely onsen, handy location -- in an industrial area, but good for us and our intended visit to the Kirin brewery. "

"Good budget hotel"

"New hotel. Only one year old as of December 2025. Room I had was small. OK for one but a squeeze for two. Onsen (bath) was very nice. Breakfast options are very limited unfortunately, even hotels I stayed at on this trip that were half the price of this hotel had more options. "

"The hotel’s located close to the station. I enjoyed its atmosphere and hospitality. The room was clean and a good size."

"Clean room Friendly Staff Good location "

"Handy location close to restaurants and shopping."

"Our property host was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay, which felt more like a home and less like an “accommodation” (in a good way). The area is beautiful and just a short walk from the beach. Thank you for your hospitality and excellent service during my family’s stay. "

"Nice breakfast "
