The hotel's location is superb, right outside the station. Both the main building and the annex have their pros and cons. The main building is easier to find and cheaper, but the rooms are on the smaller side. The annex is a bit further down, with a slightly hidden entrance. Guests staying in the annex need to go to the main building for the hot spring and breakfast, but the rooms are larger. There are free drinks, coffee, and snacks available at the front desk. The service is excellent.
This is an older, well-established hotel that is impeccably maintained. It's just a few minutes' walk from the station. The rooms are quite spacious by Japanese standards, and the pricing is reasonable outside of peak season. The breakfast is decent, if not exceptional. I would recommend staying here.
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.
Our group of four stayed here for one night after spending the day at Suzuka Circuit. The park closed at 5 PM, so we had dinner afterwards and then headed back to the hotel to rest. We got a good night's sleep before driving off the next day. A 7-Eleven and an Aeon store are both conveniently located about a 10-minute drive away. The hotel also gave out small gifts to the children ❤️.
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.
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.
Actually, I wasn't planning to stay at this hotel in the first place... I realized I had forgotten to make a reservation just before I went, so I hurriedly booked and this was the only hotel available. In hindsight, my expectations weren't high at all, but the breakfast was free, the room was spacious and clean, and it was probably newer than the hotel I had originally planned to stay at, and it was spacious and clean. I think God must have guided me to this hotel. It was very close to Ise-shi Station, and I stayed there for three nights, and it was easy to access the surrounding tourist spots such as Ise Shrine, Takihara Shrine, Meoto Iwa, and Kashikojima, so I had a great trip. It was raining on the day we returned, so I bought a plastic umbrella at the hotel and got a sturdy 60cm jump umbrella for ¥320. They were very conscientious until the very end♪ The breakfast smoothie was the best!
Toba seaside hotel stay review (03/10/2025 – 03/13/2025)
Toba Seaside Hotel
Over-all feeling: Satisfied
a. The hotel shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes (hotel and toba (Toba Station), which is very convenient.
Every day at 9:07am, there is a bus from the hotel to Ise Jingu (Geigu, Naigu) & Ise City Station. You don't have to transfer at Toba Station, which saves a lot of time.
b. (03/10/2025 – 03/13/2025) Stay at NOZOMI (Wangguan), the whole building has been renovated
Clean, comfortable.
c. Three buildings have three large bathing areas, where you can enjoy a relaxing and pleasant bath.
d. Breakfast buffet, because I am a vegetarian, I think the menu is just average.
e Toba Bay is a beautiful harbor, where you can sit quietly in front of the window in the evening. Watch. Seabirds flying. The boats are sparkling, and I think of the lines from ”The Preface to the Red Cliff” (”The breeze blows gently, and the water is calm”)... I can't help but feel relaxed and happy.
The following are also suggestions:
1. The restaurant only has Japanese dish names. Suggestion: add English. What's funny is that the COFFEE MACHINE is also only in Japanese, which makes people feel at a loss.
2. The shuttle bus sign is only in Japanese.
3. You cannot pay the bill before 7:00 am. I have been traveling to Japan for many years and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. It seems like a strange management method.
It was great. The all-you-can-drink option in the lounge was amazing. It's common to get just one welcome drink when you arrive, but this was the first time I've stayed at a hotel with all-you-can-drink. My whole family was thrilled. We didn't have any food, so we brought our own. That's another fond memory.
The only thing I was disappointed about was that we couldn't use the night pool. They refused because there were too many people paying.
The hot springs were also great. The ice cream I had after my bath was delicious! Thank you very much.
New hotel, new rooms, complete equipment, free parking, onsen, breakfast included in the room rate, very good breakfast, complete with rice, side dishes, salad, bread, water, etc., and also changing the menu (stay for several nights, no need to worry about getting bored). Highly recommended.
Very Good

MMandy 1228The hotel is relatively new and has a parking lot for self-driving guests. There is also a railway nearby, the location is very good! There is self-service coffee available, and toiletries are also provided for passengers, which is quite satisfying!
KKennyDuring my recent stay at Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu, I had a mixed experience, resulting in an overall rating of 3 out of 5. While the hotel was generally acceptable, there were some notable drawbacks.
One major issue I encountered was the cleanliness of the rooms. I was disappointed to find a significant number of insects on the walls, which was quite unpleasant and off-putting. As a result, I had to deduct points and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Additionally, compared to my previous stay at another Hotel R9 location, the price at Yard Tsu was slightly higher. However, it was still within an acceptable range considering the overall quality of the hotel.
Despite the drawbacks, I must mention that the hotel's staff were courteous and attentive, providing decent service throughout my stay.
In conclusion, while Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu has some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, its reasonable price and satisfactory service make it an acceptable choice for a short stay. However, I would recommend management to address the cleanliness issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.
NNaoIt was good to have a large room with an ocean view and a relaxing room.
However, it was very conspicuous that the manners of the public bath users were too bad. Even though there is a ban on the use of tattoos at the entrance, a child who has a tattoos is used, a child who starts a swimming tournament at a hot spring, and a mother who doesn't pay attention to it. We do not recommend using the hot springs around 21:00 after meals. Since there is no key in the shoe locker, I was in trouble because there was no slippers in the building where I put them when I returned.
I felt that I would like you to improve the tattoo notes, such as locking the shoe locker.
GGuest UserThe food was delicious and although it was a quiet town, I was able to relax. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.
SSmilexiaojiebuaipashanMie Prefecture is a relatively remote and rural place, but Toba, Ise and Shima are still worth visiting.
Todaya Hotel exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just an ordinary local Japanese-style hotel, but it turned out to be very large, with two buildings, a large public bath, an open-air bath, and several free private baths for families. There are quite a few medals at the front desk.
The room size is not large among Japanese-style rooms, but it is more spacious than ordinary modern rooms. Western-style beds are also more comfortable. The dinner was quite rich, with both Japanese and Western flavors, and the freshly roasted beef was delicious. Breakfast is on the top floor of the South Building, facing the sea, with a great view. There are also many dining options.
Mikimoto Pearl Island and Toba Aquarium are nearby.
When you check in, you will see the last name or first name of each room occupant on the welcome board at the hotel entrance. It is quite interesting to find your own name.
DDr.RayWe stayed at Sanco Inn Kuwana for a night when we were in town to attend a wedding and found it to be a small but well-equipped hotel in a quiet, charming town. While the room and bathroom were quite compact—just enough space to open one suitcase—they thoughtfully included a small bathtub, though it may be a tight fit for taller guests when showering. It was adequate for us (a family of 2 adults 1 toddler)
The hotel impressed us with its attention to detail, offering various types of pillows and night robes in different sizes, even for children. Breakfast was a concise but well-curated selection. It’s best to come down early, as seating can be limited and there may be a queue for food. Conveniently, takeaway boxes were also available for those who prefer to eat on the go.
The location was great, with several convenience stores nearby and the train station just a few minutes’ walk away. A comfortable and practical stay for a short trip!
AAnonymous UserRoom was spacious enough for 3 adults (the room is meant for 4 adults). Bathroom is surprisingly spacious and the toilet is separated. Water pressure is good too. It's more like a mini studio apartment, there's a mini bar, a kitchen sink and microwave as well. There's a laundry area in the hotel but we didn't check that out. Parking space is available for those that are driving.
Location wise, it's quiet and about 10 mins walk from Iseshi station. There's a Lawson convenience store just 2 mins walk away.
To take note:
1. The bedsheets had some stain. It's probably washed but the stain was still there.
2. The window behind the bed has no curtain and the sun rises pretty early. So it's super bright, however they do provide eye mask for you.
3. There's no luggage storage or luggage delivery services available.
4. No breakfast option and the town has limited options.
All in all, was a good stay. Would recommend.
GGuest UserAn old style western hotel but in general clean. The staff very nice and helpful. I asked them to help phone a restaurant make booking. I didn't realize the restaurant did not open yet. The hotel staff tried calling the restaurant a few times but no one answered. Finally, the hotel staff sent the restaurant a message. I didn't request the hotel staff to do so but they did it on their own. Without the hotel message to the restaurant, we would not be able to have a nice osyter buffet. Thanks them very much. If I have to complain, I should say they have to clean the bath room more thoroughly. The toilet and bath room inside the room were just totally renovated a few years but there were already black stains and mould on the wall near the bath tub. Also, there's dust on the hand rail in the toilet.
KKouaizhilouwailouThe hotel is very clean, and although the rooms are small, they are well-arranged. There's a supermarket next door. Breakfast starts quite early, but the variety isn't extensive. It's very close to the station and offers great value for money. Recommended!
