Booked this as a side trip from Osaka to escape the city and have some quiet time.
Set in a tiny village in the middle of a mountainous & forested area alongside a beautiful river with tons of waterfalls, very picturesque and perfect for walking around.
The hotel itself is immaculate with great amenities including large bathing areas.
Food was incredible and service was top-notch with staff that were always friendly, helpful and eager to please.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an authentic Japanese-style onsen hotel in a tranquil setting.
It was the second time to use it, but the facilities are wide 々 and comfortable. The hot springs were comfortable. Some of the products at the shop were not priced, and when I asked the front desk, they looked it up, but it seemed that I didn't know when I asked, ”Is it individual packaging?” I pushed it from under the box and said, ”It's individual packaging.” and so on.
The restaurant was very delicious (IgA beef) and I was happy that the price was cheap, but the man in black clothes who guided me felt very good, but he was a foreigner and didn't seem to have any knowledge of cooking. Japanese locals explained in detail about the sake set. I want to use it again because the cospa can be relaxed well.
The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to and from Toba Station every hour and half hour, though the last one departs at 6:00 PM. The Harbor rooms offer beautiful sunrise views every morning, and the hot spring, with its unique pearl powder, is quite special.
Facilities: An old hotel, very large, the room is clean, and the bed is comfortable; the hotel has many hot springs, including a public hot spring, several private hot springs (really very small and dark), foot baths, etc. in the hot spring village, which has a good atmosphere. I personally like the public hot springs; there is a welcome sign at the door when I first arrived at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner are buffets, with seats for sea views, the taste is OK, and there is a fish dismemberment show at a fixed time.
Service: Generally good, quite enthusiastic and patient.
I stayed here for one night during a trip to Ise-Shima.
Since I was traveling by train, I used the free shuttle service to Kintetsu Ugata Station. The departure was on time and the service was very courteous.
[Good Points]
① Large public bath (open until midnight, morning bath available from 5am. Free popsicles after bathing, choose from four flavors)
② Ample amenities (POLA lotion, milky lotion, razors, toothbrushes, combs, etc. - pick up what you need from the counter in front of the reception desk)
③ Free room wear (can be worn anywhere in the hotel)
④ Delicious and substantial breakfast (enjoy home-cooked meals made with local ingredients. In addition to specialty dishes like Ise udon and tonteki, there was also curry and yakisoba. There was also a wide variety of desserts and drinks, and the yogurt and smoothies were especially delicious)
⑤ Spacious and spacious guest rooms (The interior has a unique atmosphere, and the appliances and furnishings are a bit dated, but the beds are spacious, and the value for money is excellent, especially for a night's sleep.)
⑥ The service was good (there was a free-flowing coffee machine, water dispenser, tourist information pamphlets, etc. near the reception desk. The staff was also friendly and efficient, especially during breakfast.)
[Areas for Improvement]
1. I was concerned about whether the slippers allowed to be worn inside the hotel had been disinfected. It would be reassuring if there was a sign indicating this. (I was reluctant to wear slippers directly on my feet, so I wore socks over them throughout the stay.)
2. There was a thin layer of dust on the wall above the bed (the side of the room), so it might be a good idea to wipe the wall down about once a month.
[Advice for Future Guests]
When using the large public bath, you will need to walk on carpet from the slipper area at the entrance to the changing room. If you are uncomfortable walking barefoot, it may be a good idea to wear socks or bring your own.
We checked in on Sunday and checked out on Monday, and the stay for two people, including breakfast, was less than 9,000 yen, which was a great deal.
Access is not the best, but I would definitely stay here again at this price range.
The remote hot spring travel management is suitable for self-driving tourists. The dinner is rich, the room is comfortable, the space is large, the hot spring and the room have a sea view, the most special is the morning feeding eagle experience, it is worth a try!
The open-air bath was amazing!
The changing room, shower room, and balcony
open-air bath were all connected, which was great.
The air purifier and the corners of the room were a little rough, but it wasn't too bad.
The staff were very helpful and polite when I checked in!
There were some shops open until around 10 PM, so I could go for a walk even after relaxing at the hotel!
I couldn't go this time, so I'll save it for next time. (T_T)
I was shocked that the room service I ordered was cold.
The room didn't have a microwave, which was a problem! The food was delicious!! There was also a snack and drink set that looked delicious!
Thank you so much!
The room I grabbed for the fireworks festival is not convenient in terms of transportation. The nearest one is probably JR Sangu Station (stations in the wild suburbs don’t have that kind of station). It takes 15 minutes to walk to the hotel. The way is Tianye Road. Don’t doubt it, it is more suitable for people with cars. , there is a large supermarket opposite the hotel, and next to it is a convenience store and (it seems) an Internet celebrity dessert shop. The room size is by Japanese standards, the sanitary services are also good, and there is a large bath.
To get to the hotel, you take their shuttle bus from Toba Station, which is about a five-minute drive uphill. The surroundings are peaceful, and the view of Ise Bay from outside is superb! The room is spacious, and the balcony has a private outdoor bath. However, you have to fill it yourself and wait for it to heat up, so I didn't end up using it in the room because it was too cold. There are also public indoor and outdoor baths. The outdoor one has a great ambiance, and the indoor one has glass windows with fantastic views of Toba pier and Ise Bay! Dinner included sashimi, a wagyu hot pot, and Ise lobster, which were all delicious. Breakfast was a Japanese-style buffet, which was fine. Overall, the value for money was excellent! 👍🏼
Beautiful place, easy access with 10 minures bus from the train station. Amazing meals and breathtaking views. Onsen is wonderful too, there were not crowded, so my friend with tattoes was able to go as well. Friendly place, would recommend to stay here to relax. The time here is going much slower than in the city. Also check the akame 48 waterfall trail. Thats definitely a must-see experience
The hotel suite is 100m2 and is huge . Our suite was with 3 futons, perfect for 3 gentlemen. The huge bathroom was well supplied with the nicest cosmetic amenities and fluffy towels. Everything in the refrigerator was free, even wines. However we did not consume any. The Club lounge on the fifth floor was already well supplied with all kinds of snacks, beverages and wines, open from morning to late night. We had a Japanese breakfast on day and a western breakfast on the second day. Both were excellent.
Stay for one night to visit the Shima Spain Village. The location is a little bit far from the main station. However, the hotel have shuttle bus service and we could arrive the destination smoothly. The room is clean, the free hot spring (onsen) is good, the buffet-style breakfast is not bad, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, it's a nice stay.
The Japanese room looks exactly like this picture. Everything is good except that there is no bathroom in the room. The buffet breakfast and dinner were awesome too.
