Hotel Seikai

I stayed here as part of a tour, and although it was certainly old, and I had some complaints about having to change into slippers at the entrance, the food, and the lack of smiles from the staff, it was a very ordinary hotel. It's not luxurious or flashy. The beach is right behind the hotel, so you can see the calm Ise Bay and the sandy beach from the front of the room, and the Meoto Iwa rocks are nearby, so it's convenient for visiting Ise Shrine, and the location is not bad. It seems like it would be crowded with beachgoers in the summer. The large public bath on the 4th floor has warm, soft water, and the open-air bath faces the sea, so you can hear the sound of the waves and feel the sea breeze, and you can choose the pattern of your yukata, which made a good impression.

Used for accommodation from January 1st to January 2nd, 2023. It has been a hot topic on social media in the past, and the most recent reviews have been mixed with good and bad reviews, so I was a little worried before using it, but I thought, ``I'm still surviving during this coronavirus pandemic, so I guess it's okay.'' "and. In conclusion, my impression is that it was "normally good." Some reviews say that most of the employees are elderly, but there were only young staff at the front desk, and half of the staff at the dining area were young. I go on hot spring trips about twice a year, and it's like this everywhere, and I didn't get the impression that there were a lot of elderly people here. The lady staff member often said ``Excuse me'' and sometimes forgot to light the solid fuel during dinner, but it was not a problem as she responded immediately when I called her. It's true that the facilities are old and look like they've been renovated, but any hotel or inn where you can stay for 10,000 yen is like this. It was a regular plan that came with a half Ise lobster and the price remained the same, but I thought that the fact that it came with Ise lobster was just a bonus, and I didn't have high expectations in the first place, but it is true. I felt that some people would complain about this size. (On the other hand, wouldn't it be a mistake to have too high expectations?) Instead, there was a ``tuna dissection show'' as a special event for New Year's, and they made sushi and sashimi on the spot, and I was able to get free refills, so I was more than satisfied with that. . Some of the side dishes and rice in the evening and morning were served in a buffet style, but the tongs and rice scoops are shared by everyone, so I think people who care about that will be aware of that. Also, I often see in reviews that it is prohibited to bring in food and drinks, but there is no sign posted or the contents of your bag are searched, but it is written on the "Information" in the room. So, if it's just a hydration drink, there shouldn't be any problem as long as you don't declare it yourself. I suspect that the reason for the ban is that in the past, groups of guests brought alcoholic beverages in their cars and made noise until late at night, causing inconvenience to other guests. By the way, the vending machines in the hotel are quite expensive. I think even "Horoyoi" was ¥320. There was a shuttle service from Futamiura Station, and there was Wi-Fi in the building. The temperature of the hot spring is neither lukewarm nor hot, so you can stay in it for a long time. Enjoy the open air while feeling the sea breeze. It's also great that the men's and women's baths are switched in the evening and morning. There are two slightly inconvenient points. 1. Shoes will be collected at the front desk. To go out, you have to give your room number and have your shoes taken out. 2. There aren't many electrical outlets in the room, making it difficult to charge your phone. The two outlets are occupied by the TV and the air purifier, and there is one outlet in addition to the kettle next to the entrance (where the bathroom, sink, and toilet are located) next to the toilet. If you are staying with more than two people, you will need to take measures such as bringing an extension tap or unplugging electrical appliances. The reason why the reviews on the internet are low is because people who had a good impression don't post much, and people who had a bad impression do so with the intention of posting, plus the reviews from a few years ago when it went viral are still there. think. If it's around 15,000 yen per person for New Year's, I have no complaints.
