Sendai Accommodation | Hotel Metropolitan Sendai | Directly Connected to JR Sendai Station | Lively, Convenient Location

The liveliest part of Sendai is the area between Sendai Station and Hirose-dori, so there are quite a lot of hotels here. This was our last night in Sendai, and since we would be taking the JR straight to the airport the next day for our flight home, we chose "Hotel Metropolitan Sendai," which is extremely close to the JR station.

📜  Information

📍 Location

Hotel Metropolitan is a hotel brand operated by JR, so in many cities the Hotel Metropolitan is directly connected to the JR station, making transfers extremely convenient for guests.

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai is likewise connected to JR Sendai Station — just a 1–2 minute walk away, which is very convenient. However, if you go indoors you first pass through the S-PAL department store, so if it's a rainy day and you want to walk indoors from the hotel to Sendai Station, you can only do so during S-PAL's opening hours!

🏢 Hotel Environment

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai also has numerous function rooms for weddings and all kinds of business meetings, plus several restaurants on the second floor. On the day we checked in, we saw plenty of people in suits in the lobby — the hotel seems to attract quite a few business travelers.


🛏  The Room

The room's design feels understated but somewhat dated, with an overall yellowish color scheme. The room isn't particularly spacious — you can't fully open two large suitcases, since much of the space is taken up by a fairly large round table and two armchairs...


The TV in the room is pretty small

Standard amenities

The bathroom is a Japanese-style three-piece unit with separate wet and dry areas


The bathroom feels a bit dated, but the cleanliness is fine

Overall, the hotel is very close to the railway tracks, yet you can't hear the trains at all — the soundproofing is quite good. The bed was very comfortable, and our room was on a high floor with views of the city at night, though the room was a little on the humid side.

The location really is extremely convenient, especially for travelers taking the JR. If you don't want to spend time getting from the station to your hotel,Hotel Metropolitan Sendai is a pretty ideal choice.

    這次的北海道之旅是搭乘星宇航空,在規劃行程時,就打算讓這趟旅程更輕鬆一點,因此特地考慮升級商務艙。主要原因是航程約 4 小時,屬於中距離航班,若能在起飛後好好放鬆、吃頓好餐、甚至稍微躺平休息一下,整體體驗會舒適許多。另外的原因也是在票價部分,飛北海道航線比經濟艙貴大約一萬元,以旅程的品質來說算是可以接受的升級,最後就忍痛奢侈一下,選擇了商務艙。

    提到日本自由行,北海道一直是一個特別的存在:它不像東京那樣熱鬧繁華,也不像關西那樣歷史悠久,卻有一種讓人放鬆的節奏,適合慢慢體會,但機票始終都很貴。 這次選擇在 五月出發 ,一來是為了避開人潮,二來是因為這個時候的北海道還沒進入旅遊旺季,機票、住宿都相對便宜不少 (洞爺湖溫泉旅館還是不便宜...),加上氣候舒適宜人,不冷也不熱,安排了一趟以 函館、洞爺湖、小樽、札幌 為主的自由行,希望用比較緩慢的步調,好好感受北海道初夏的風景與味道。
