#Domestic travel A long-established inn in Toba, Mie, reopens A modern Japanese inn overlooking the calm sea of ​​Toba with floating oyster farming rafts Motoura Onsen Yuki no Sato The renovated lobby is spacious, modern, and very comfortable However, the atmosphere of a long-established inn is preserved, as they offer cold Japanese tea and Japanese sweets upon check-in, so it seems to be appreciated by foreigners as well The view from the room is overwhelming, and the windows look like picture frames The ceilings are not that high, but the interior makes you feel that way The designers have great taste, it's amazing~ There are two beds and a wide sofa to relax on, but it's not cramped at all! This summer, meals are served in private rooms Of course, you can see the sea from here A Japanese-style banquet made with carefully selected ingredients such as spiny lobster, spiny tuna, and Toba sea bass Happiness✨ And a bath! Considering the number of guest rooms, it seems too spacious. "Marobine-an" has two luxurious private hot springs and 5?6 baths. There's even a sauna! I think everyone can enjoy the baths, with hot water, lukewarm water, a bubbly area like a jet bath, and a waterfall bath. Not to be forgotten is the observation deck and the Ama Gallery. The observation deck where you can enjoy the magnificent view is in front of the lobby and at the back of the dining room. Both are really comfortable and you can gaze out at the sea of ​​Toba. It's hot at the moment, so I recommend mornings or evenings. When it gets hot, take refuge in the Ama Gallery at the back of the lobby. There are also nice chairs and drink service here (times are set). Above all, the art on the walls is really wonderful. The silkscreen works of an artist from Shima depict the Ama divers so beautifully. I wanted to take them home with me lol. We chatted here while drinking coffee. I was able to spend a truly luxurious time on this trip. The space, the scenery, the food, the staff's hospitality, and the always fun Everything healed me. I want to go again!!

I stayed at Kairakuen, a traditional Japanese restaurant located on the coast of Toba, Mie Prefecture. All rooms have an ocean view, and the view of the ocean spreads out below the window. (The photo shows the full moon from the room.) Kairakuen has a large public bath, but you can also see a beautiful full moon from the private open-air bath. The night view over the sea is also very beautiful and mesmerizing. Just listening to the sound of the waves while watching the night view and losing track of time is soothing. Toba also has delicious seafood! I grilled the grilled fish for breakfast myself and ate it! ✴︎Kairakuen, a marine restaurant✴︎ Location: 299-39 Obama-cho, Toba City, Mie Prefecture Access: 5 minutes by shuttle bus from Kintetsu Toba Station Parking: Opposite the hotel #AccommodationReview #TobaTrip #MieTourism #MieGourmet #NightView #FishingSpots #SeaFishing #Sakura2024

We went to Toba Aquarium in Toba City, Mie Prefecture 🐟 It is one of Japan's leading aquariums, with the largest number of species of sea otters kept among all aquariums in Japan ✨ Of course, the main attraction was! To meet the familiar sea otters Mei-chan and Kira-chan, who are a staple of Toba Aquarium 🦦 There are only two places in Japan where sea otters are kept and this is the only place where you can see multiple sea otters at the same time! I was healed by Kira-chan and Mei-chan who learned various tricks☺️ You can also meet many other animals and fish, including dugongs, penguins, and otters that are only kept here👍 *Personally, I also recommend the otters that sleep together😌 ---------------------------------------------- [Access🚃] ◆Get off at JP Kintetsu "Toba Station" 10 minutes walk🚶‍♂️ [Business hours🕰] ◆9:00-17:00 (*8:30-17:30 in summer from 7/20 to 8/31) [Price💰] ◆Adults: 2,800 yen ◆Elementary and junior high school students: 1,500 yen ◆Infants (3 years and older): 800 yen ---------------------------------------------- #Mie #Mie Prefecture #Mie Trip #Toba #Aquarium #Toba Aquarium #Sea Otter #Kira-chan #Mei-chan #Dugong #Otter #penguin #commoncommondolphin #cameratrip #animalphotography #singlelensreflex #canoneosx9i #cutoutworld #lovetravel #lovetravel #travelinjapan #nationwidetravelsupport #japantravel #whereshouldigonnext?

Although "Ise Ebi" has a regional character, it is actually equivalent to Japanese lobster. However, Toba City, which is included in the Ise-Shima National Park, is rich in seafood along the Tani Bay and has a large number of ama, so you must try seafood when you come to Toba. 📍 1-6-18 Toba, Toba City, Mie Prefecture 🚊 About 5 minutes walk from Kintetsu Toba Station 🚙 5 free parking spaces There are many seafood shops near Kintetsu Toba Station, and Ama House Toba Hamanami has been in business for more than 50 years. The interior of the store has the feel of an old shop, with many interesting seafood pictures and posters. In addition, there are many set menus to choose from, and the prices are very affordable. For example, for 1,500 yen you can try five kinds of seasonal grilled scallops. If you know Japanese, you can chat with the Ama while eating and learn about their lives and how they have changed over the years. It is a very special experience to eat freshly grilled seafood while listening to the stories of the Ama women. #seetheearthinthemoment #overseastravel #Japan #Mie-ken #Toba-shi #food #ama #foodie #Ise-ebi #japan

Address: 3-3 Otake, Kunisaki-machi, Toba City, Mie Prefecture Toba Observatory is one of the famous attractions in Toba City on the Shima Peninsula. When you come here, you can enjoy the beautiful seascape of Ise Bay and the Joshima Peninsula. The sea view is nearly 270 degrees, making it a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset. When I arrived at the Toba Observatory, I felt that it was a bit like a rest stop, with restaurants, snack shops, and souvenir shops. #See the Earth in an instant

There are many interesting aquariums in Japan, such as Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and Churaumi in Okinawa. But when it comes to the most cute martial arts master that will make you melt, it has to be Toba Aquarium in Mie. This aquarium, which has been in operation since 1955, is the 26th aquarium in Japan. It was extremely small back then. It was not until 1990 that it received land from Kobelco Electric and gradually built up to its current size. Capybara and small-clawed otters can be observed up close. The most popular performances in recent years are Haise Mikaru and Kirara. Thirty years ago, there were hundreds of sea otters in Japan, but now there are only two left, and they are in Toba Aquarium. The feeding shows, which are held three times a day, are always packed. In addition, the walrus is also a popular star. It not only knows how to blow bubbles and kiss goodbye, but also patrols the venue to interact and touch the children. There is also a mermaid dugong, looking cute as it eats seaweed in front of the glass window. The aquarium has no restrictions on movement routes and time, and it also has a restaurant that sells udon and curry rice that children will also like. You can dine while looking at the sea, so you can have fun for a whole day. The number of visitors to Toba Aquarium has exceeded 50 million, making it the most profitable aquarium in Japan. 📍Address: 〒517-8517 3-6 Toba 3-chome, Toba City, Mie Prefecture 🚗Take Kintetsu from Osaka or Nagoya to Toba Station and walk for 12 minutes. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
