Hot Springs Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

I wanted a hotel with an ocean view, so I made a reservation despite my misgivings, even though the reviews weren't that good. Many of the hotels in Ise-Shima and Toba are old and date back to the early Showa period, and newer hotels are quite expensive. This hotel is in a great location, and although it is old, it has been properly renovated, so it isn't too rundown, and my concerns were resolved. The tatami mats were nice and comfortable. It was a relief to be able to stay at this price, even though it is the largest facility in the area and a hotel with an ocean view. The hotel's souvenir shop is open late and has a wide selection, so it was really helpful to be able to buy souvenirs that I thought I wouldn't be able to buy at the hotel. I hope you continue to be a great hotel while making up for the aging. I will visit again. Thank you very much.

Great value for money, much cheaper than similar hotels in Osaka. Toiletries are provided for free and there's a good variety. You can even choose from different types of pillows. Plus, there's a free onsen, which is amazing! 👍 I stayed in a king-size room and the bathtub was a good size and depth. The map shows it as a 2-star hotel, but I honestly feel it's on par with at least a 4-star hotel in China. Everything was perfect except for the slightly smaller room size. Breakfast was also good, a bit pricey at 1400 JPY, but acceptable.

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).

This is an established, somewhat older hotel (not ancient). It's quite large, and you can still see remnants of its 80s and 90s glory days, like the bowling alley. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with a lovely view. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful. The hotel also has its own hot spring bathhouse, with indoor, outdoor, and garden-style rotenburo options. It's very close to Kashikojima Station, and there's a shuttle bus service available. Nearby, there's a small fishing village and harbor you can explore, and even take a boat ride. This is a great place to relax, unwind, and get closer to nature. Plus, it's easily accessible by direct train from Nagoya and Osaka.

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.

I highly recommend Toba, a charming and relaxing city boasting both mountains and sea, and located right next to Ise. It's home to renowned Toba Aquarium and Mikimoto Pearl Island, as well as beautiful bays, hot springs, and delicious Ise lobster. Shiojitei and Toba International Hotel are sister properties; Shiojitei offers a traditional Japanese ambiance, while the International Hotel features a modern, ocean-view design. Shiojitei's standout feature is its Mikimoto Pearl Onsen, which leaves your skin feeling wonderfully radiant after a soak. However, the Mikimoto Pearl Onsen is just one of its many charms and doesn't overshadow Shiojitei's exquisite ambiance, superb cuisine, and stunning ocean views. Don't forget to head to the hotel lawn in the evening to experience roasting marshmallows!

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!

Great location Easiest access to Onsen, Spaland, Outlet and bus stop back to Nagoya Station. Highly recommended for family with 3 generation.
