The dinner that we paid for at the place was delicious and I recommend it highly!

It was probably as good as you couldve hoped for for a guest house stay.

Hosts were very hospitable, I enjoyed passing time chatting at the living area. They sold home made umeshu that was delicious. With some of the other guests, one that could play guitar, we had a pretty fun karaoke session.

I had a little trouble sleeping on the mattresses, which are harder than what I was used to, but the fact each bed is like a capsule with heavy curtains meant it was dark and quiet, which helped a lot!

The host is a wonderful man and offered a delicious dinner for JPY 1000! As he is a former cook, it was really delicious! It was also nice to have a common space to share with the other guests and share our experiences, and have some social interaction in general. The woodwork in the rooms - such as the beds - were also made by the host himself and is really top-notch!

Showing time close at 2230 was too early.

Staff are very nice and friendly

The only thing I could say I appreciated less was that it was not long enough. The house was lovely and the people gave good advice. I did have heavy luggages so coming from the station was a bit tougher as there is a short metro ride and a bit of walking but all and all it was nice stay. A bit further from the center than I expected but that was alright.

Very warm atmosphere in Umebachi, we played kendama with their daughter, drank sake togetgher and went on a night walk togther. It felt like I was in a small family for a bit. I met with an amazing guy from Taiwan that I met again in Tokyo a few weeks later cause we had kept contact. The personel was very patient and keen on speaking either english/japanese. Really enjoyed my short stay there

If you are looking for accommodation with a familiar and extremely positive and warm vibe, this is the place for you! We felt very welcome from the very first second and would like to thank the owners for this incredible experience!

Some of the things were a bit on the older side and maybe not 100% clean

It felt cozy like an actual home and we got a great homecooked meal and some sake.

Very very nice staff and owner and clean and well maintained house. It’s rather on the small site and can also get a little noisy if there are many guests. Other than that can recommend!

Great welcoming atmosphere. Location near train station. Cozy rooms and nice facilities.

Room is quite small and beds are bunkbeds rather than pods. No showers after 22:00, can be inconvenient at times.

Great staff, very friendly and very social. Host would cook dinner for guests and staff would hangout and chat. Very social atmosphere among guests, feels almost more like a joint airbnb.

Can't complain. Was one of the best guesthouses I've been to so far. Really quite a special place with great people.

The atmosphere of the place was amazing. Great common area where everyone hangs out and eats together. Host was very friendly and easy going, creating a cool/laid back vibe. Japanese travelers were welcoming and let me practice my Japanese. The craft beer and homemade jam was a nice touch.

Nothing

The owners were awesome. Visiting felt like coming home.

There is no staff around in the afternoon and the house is closed. So you have to plan around that regarding check-in and where to keep your luggage in the meantime.

Great staff and nice common room for a social experience.

The showers cannot be used after 22:30.

The owner of the hostel and his family are very friendly and seem to be in a good mood all the time. The hostel itself is very clean and decorated in a comfortably warm way. It is also close to Nigatake station, from which you can reach the center of Sendai in 10 min.

The UMEBACHI staff’s friendly and welcoming approach made you quickly feel at home. The guest house had a fantastic spirit and energy that made it very easy to socialise make new friends with the staff and the other guests!
