Hot Springs Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is relatively old, so I gave it a score of 4.5, but I will choose this hotel again next time. Check-in is also very convenient. There is a free shuttle bus from the Kintetsu Station to the hotel. In the afternoon, I sat in the hotel cafe and looked at the sea to make me feel relaxed. The hotel also has a seafood buffet in the evening, and sashimi is free.

I didn't expect to be able to book such an amazing hotel in this rural area at this price. The hotel is OK, but the pillows are a bit high. The room size is also good. The service is also good. The only bad thing is that the hotel parking space is too limited. The lobby is on the third floor, don't worry, it will park in the lobby by itself after entering the elevator. The grilled bird on the second floor is delicious. I recommend trying it.

This hotel is conveniently located directly across from Ise Station, visible as soon as you exit. Its prime location makes getting around by public transport incredibly easy for sightseeing. I stayed in the main building, where the front desk is on the second floor. It's a small space with a charming, old-school Japanese inn vibe. The room itself wasn't large, but that wasn't an issue since I was out exploring all day and only returned to sleep. The public bath is also on the second floor, perfect for relaxing after a full day of activities. Don't forget to grab a complimentary popsicle from outside the bath afterward! There are several dining options both downstairs and in the surrounding area, which should cover most needs. On check-out day, if you need to store your luggage, there are self-service lockers on the second floor where you can leave it and pick it up later after your excursions.

The view is great. It was great that there was all-you-can-drink alcohol in the lounge. The hot springs were clean and there was a sauna, and they also provided free ice cream, which was great. I think it would be even better if they could increase the number of places to get ice cream when it's busy (it's self-service, so there was a line).

I stayed for two nights, and the dinner menu changed on the second night, so I enjoyed it again. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes, so I was satisfied and never got bored. The room with a view of Ago Bay was also comfortable.

We arrived early on the day of check-in and waited briefly in the lobby before being escorted to our room around 3:00. We were given a large twin room with tatami mats. While the furniture was a bit worn, it was very clean. The air conditioner was a Daikin brand and looked brand new. The staff, though not very numerous, were very helpful. Breakfast was a Japanese set menu delivered to the room. Kashikojima Station is less than a ten-minute walk away, and the hotel offers a morning shuttle service. Kashikojima gradually becomes quiet around 5:00 or 6:00, and restaurants and convenience stores at the station close by 6:00. We didn't book dinner at the hotel, so we took the train two stops later to eat.

Upon arriving at Toba Station a little past 6 PM, we couldn't locate the hotel shuttle bus as advised by the guide. Decided to call the hotel just to try our luck, and to our surprise, they immediately dispatched a private car to pick us up! Service was absolutely impeccable! 💯 The hotel's absolute standout feature has to be its hot springs! ♨️ Especially the unique Pearl Onsen – the only one in Japan infused with Mikimoto pearl powder. My skin felt incredibly soft and glowed after soaking. (A glass of milk after the onsen is a must – incredibly refreshing! *Personally, I prefer the fruit-flavored one.) Room Experience: We booked the most basic Japanese-style room (washitsu) and truly enjoyed the authentic experience of sleeping on traditional tatami mats. Upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to find a welcome cheesecake 🍰 waiting for us in the fridge – absolutely delicious! All toiletries were exclusively Mikimoto branded, adding a definite touch of luxury and quality. (We even bought a set from the hotel shop before leaving – eligible for tax-free shopping!) 🥣 Breakfast was a classic Japanese set meal, served individually with no menu choices. The highlight, however, was the dining environment – private rooms! *Be bold and request a window-side private room. ❤️ Enjoying a refined breakfast in such a private setting, while gazing at the serene ocean view outside, was an incredibly soothing and delightful experience.

There was a wide variety of food, so I had a hard time deciding what to eat. The seasonal tempura for dinner was especially piping hot and delicious. Although there were many foreign staff members, they were all very welcoming and made a very positive impression. I stayed on the day of the Toba Port Festival, and it was only a 25-minute walk to the fireworks site, giving me the perfect vantage point to watch the fireworks. The staff told me that you can't see the low-lying fireworks from the hotel, so I was glad I walked there. Perhaps because it was summer, the large public bath was relatively empty at all times. The room-temperature water in the bath wasn't too cold, which was wonderful.

I am a girl and I took the bus from Nagoya with my child. Except that it took 7 or 8 minutes to get to the hotel by taking a detour according to Google Maps because I was not familiar with the road when I got off the bus (because I brought a 28-inch + 15-inch suitcase, there were many ups and downs along the way, and it was still quite dangerous and laborious to walk on the road. I suggest that the business put up a guide sign near the get-off point, so that it is safer and faster to take the small road to the hotel), everything else was perfect: the room was super big! The sleep was very comfortable! The hotel is very close to the ski area (the bus station is actually here). The waiter introduced us to a safe and fast route (less than 3 minutes). In addition, the hotel also provides cable car tickets for the ski resort, which is very considerate. I will bring my child here next time!

An excellent hotel right on the doorstep of the theme park with direct access. The spa facilities are not tattoo friendly unfortunately and the beds are as hard as a rock otherwise this hotel would have been 5 out of 5 for us. The buffet dinner is amazing.
