Hot Springs Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is relatively old, so I gave it a score of 4.5, but I will choose this hotel again next time. Check-in is also very convenient. There is a free shuttle bus from the Kintetsu Station to the hotel. In the afternoon, I sat in the hotel cafe and looked at the sea to make me feel relaxed. The hotel also has a seafood buffet in the evening, and sashimi is free.

Facilities: The hotel has a hot spring on the 4th floor, perfect for unwinding after a long day of travel. On the 3rd floor, there's the front desk, a coffee machine, and some toiletries you can help yourself to. Stayed in January 2025 | Hollywood Twin Room (Non-Smoking) Cleanliness: The hotel cleanliness is excellent, and the hot spring on the 3rd floor is also quite clean. Ambiance: The hotel seems to be 10 stories high in total, with guest rooms from the 4th to the 10th floor. Service: There's a Sri Lankan guy at the front desk who speaks perfect English. There's also a real-time translator at the front desk, so if you don't speak Japanese but know a bit of English, overall it shouldn't be a big problem.

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.

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).

We love it here so much! The service staff are friendly and courteous, and the room is large with a view of Yingyu Bay. Dinner was very delicious and breakfast had lots of choices. I hope to stay here if I have the chance.

The hotel is clean and the service is polite. The breakfast is delicious, using local ingredients. The hot spring water is from the source, and the pearl hot spring water. The drinks after the bath and the coffee in the lounge are delicious. The grounds are spacious and there are plenty of activities to enjoy. The free tour to watch the sunset and the stargazing where you can hear explanations about the stars while holding a laser up to the stars were great. You can see Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and the Pleiades star cluster with the naked eye. I would like to go back in the warmer months. The hotel was quite warm and comfortable even in winter.

The view was great, and the in-room dining and cleanliness were great. The room attendant was also very attentive.

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!
