Sendai Guest House UMEBACHI

First and foremost, i had an amazing time staying in umebachi. The staff, the owner and his family were super kind, nice, attentive and fun to have conversations with. each time i knew i could arrive at time for dinner i booked a reservation to eat with them, and more than the fact that the food was great and versatile each time, the dinner was fun and the conversations together gave away such a feeling like home. Also, the homemade plum wine the owner makes was so good i took it each night of my stay (specifically the 5 year original one). The property was clean, there was a nice share space and i had a fun time meeting other guests, the coffee in the morning was good too. The location is 9 minute walk from the nearby station and there’s a 7 minute walk nearby lawson. I went with other guests and the owner to the aoba matsuri festival and had such a fun time. If i come back to sendai in the near future, know that i will come back to this place.

The staff was super friendly and very active in trying to make the residents feel welcome (I even discovered that I shared taste in music with some of them). I was quite tired in the evenings, so unfortunately I didn't participate in the dinners/gatherings hosted by the hostel, but from what I could hear, it seemed fun :-) A light breakfast is also provided in the morning, which I think is quite generous and nice if you e.g. need to catch a train and won't have time to go somewhere.

Nothing in particular

Like the other reviews have said, this is an extraordinary guesthouse. Keiko and Masaki, and their team, went above and beyond to make me feel at home. They are really amazing people. Just the best place I have stayed in Japan. Thank you very, very much Umebachi family - I am humbled.

Nothing.

Amazing stay at Sendai Guest House UMEBACHI! The staff was incredible, providing helpful local tips, and they made amazing food as well. The entire place was super clean, had a nice workspace area, and the evening hangout sessions were really cozy.
