Ryokan
The other day, the Metro (free newspaper) had an two-page spread article about northern Japan and the necessity of volunteers and tourists (after the earthquake and tsunami). It said international visitors to Japan are down 36% from last year. The editor stayed in Sakan Ryokan in Akiu hot spring resort, Miyagi, and conveyed the fascination of northern Japan. Experience of the traditional inn seemed to impress her. She introduced the detail about it. This was the first time in ages I had seen an article about Sendai.
If you visit Japan, I recommend you to stay in ryokan, if you don't mind stripping naked in a public bath (it's good etiquette). Because you can have a Japanese cultural experience, such as putting on a youkata kimono, sleeping in a futon on a tatami mat, having a various local delicacies which looks beautiful and very Japanese, having a great and unique services, and also hot springs do have various good effects on your skin, mind, tired muscles, muscle pain, blood circulation and so on. If you are interested in it, have a try!
