Hot Springs Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

The room is super clean and spacious, and staff are very helpful.  We are so surprised that there are complimentary snack and drinks at lobby almost all the time, and have free croissant in breakfast time. They are very thoughtful that provided a wide range of amenities including skin care, hand cream, body lotion and hair essence.

This is a traditional, large-scale hot spring ryokan. I've been to many hot spring ryokans, and most of them felt deserted with few staff and many foreign guests. However, this ryokan had plenty of staff, and they were very attentive with both greetings and farewells. The baths were spacious, and the changing rooms were cleaned frequently. The unlimited use of bath towels was a fantastic service for us, as we love to soak multiple times. The view from our room, with the calm sea and beautiful sunset, was absolutely stunning. The meal service system was new to us and a bit confusing at first, but it turned out to be very convenient for our family, as we all eat different amounts. Finally, I must mention that we stayed here about 15 years ago when my late father was battling an illness. Being able to come back with my now-grown children and reminisce about those memories was truly special. The ryokan is just as wonderful now as it was then. Thank you for everything. The ryokan is very large and even has a bowling alley, which our children thoroughly enjoyed.

The hotel is near the train station, which makes travel very convenient. The breakfast is very rich, with Matsusaka beef hotpot every morning. Free midnight snacks (noodles), ice cream, and Yakult are provided. You can also soak in hot springs.

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.

It was the second time to use it, but the facilities are wide 々 and comfortable. The hot springs were comfortable. Some of the products at the shop were not priced, and when I asked the front desk, they looked it up, but it seemed that I didn't know when I asked, ”Is it individual packaging?” I pushed it from under the box and said, ”It's individual packaging.” and so on. The restaurant was very delicious (IgA beef) and I was happy that the price was cheap, but the man in black clothes who guided me felt very good, but he was a foreigner and didn't seem to have any knowledge of cooking. Japanese locals explained in detail about the sake set. I want to use it again because the cospa can be relaxed well.

As I read in a previous review, there was floating foam in the men's bath. I thought this was due to the body soap not rinsing well. It took a long time to rinse off the soap after washing. I thought that since men don't care and just jump in the bath right away, the soap might get mixed into the water. I thought that changing the quality of the soap would solve the problem of floating foam and reduce the amount of water used. I was also disappointed that the water temperature in the cold bath was lukewarm (apparently the women's bath was cold). The toilet and the restroom were separate in the room, which was convenient. I felt that the other services were good, so I would like to recommend it if they improve the bath.

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.

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.

This is the first time I have encountered a hot spring hotel where you take off your shoes as soon as you enter the door and you can walk barefoot throughout the hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. The hotel is very close to Yukiyokocho and Naimiya. The only drawback is that the food is not very delicious. I don’t know. Is it because I have booked a hotel in China that I have no choice?

I made a reservation the day before because there was a vacancy at the inn. I was nervous, but the room was very comfortable. I was happy that there was unlimited coffee. The hot spring was better than I expected, and the shampoo, lotion, etc. were from Mikimoto, which was great. The juice after the bath was very tasty. They had various events, including roasted marshmallows, so I think it would be fun to spend some time relaxing at the facilities. I would like to try the head spa and facial. I would like to come again next time, bringing my grandchildren and children. The sunrise from the nearby observation deck was also beautiful in the morning.
