Hotel Isaba

If you have time, you can go there again. The surrounding environment is so beautiful.

The view was great and the food was especially delicious! The staff were kind and the private bath was great. The sightseeing in Toda was also great! It was raining heavily on the way back, but thank you for driving us back. We got home safely. It's a great place to visit and stay! The Japanese-style dinner and breakfast are delicious. Highly recommended!

The view from the room was very good. The room was clean, had two sinks and amenities. The food was so big that I couldn't eat the last meal. Overall, it was delicious. I heard that the chef had changed recently. The large public bath is not that big. There is one indoor bath and one outdoor bath, which I personally felt was small. There is a bathtub for women, so I used that in the morning to take a bath in the outdoor bath. I guess it's because it can be seen from outside. The private bath is a normal large bath, and you can't see anything at night. It's not an outdoor bath, so I didn't really need to take a bath. It might be good for families with small children or the elderly. You go down a very steep path that looks like a trail to the sea. I was able to relax on a walk along the sea. The staff are also kind. I might visit again if I have the chance.

The good points were the 35m2 room with a Japanese-style bed and the cheerful and hardworking foreign staff. The room was very calming with a wooden design, and the view from the upper floors was amazing. It was impressive that only one foreign woman was smiling and waving until the end when we left. We were able to make a reservation for the popular private bath, "Sunset Brilliance," at 9pm. The view was certainly great, but it was glass-walled, muggy, and our entire bodies were visible from the fishing boats (although I think you would have to use binoculars to see us), so we turned off all the lights, undressed, and got into the bath. I recommend going during the day to enjoy the view, but my wife said it was impossible during the day. The food, which is their specialty, was delicious, but not as good as we expected. What made an impression on me was the white rice, the seasoned rice, and the squid marinated in okinawa. The sashimi was good, but I was bothered by the fact that it was lined up from the beginning. I was also concerned about the salt in the salt-based broth pot. I'm not sure if the restaurant's concept is to enjoy the taste of the ingredients, but if they had squeezed some citrus or a sophisticated sesame sauce, I would have been able to enjoy all the dashi. What bothered me was that the menu was provided and the contents never changed. There was almost no point in having it there, so there was no chawanmushi, and the boiled fish was pan-fried, and the contents of the dishes were different from the menu, and there was no detailed information. The foreign staff tried hard to explain the dishes, but I refrained from asking questions because I felt it would be rude to ask in detail. There was a wide selection of breakfast dishes, but the dried horse mackerel served later was not freshly grilled, and the rolled sushi roll* was hard and cold. I wondered if the grated yam with yam was pre-made. It looked gorgeous, but it didn't feel very homemade. Overall, I was satisfied with the stay because I was able to stay cheaply using travel discounts, but I don't think I would return at the regular price.
