Hotels with Parking in Toba

"The hot spring, dinner, and breakfast were all very satisfying. The buffet-style dinner and breakfast, in particular, were incredibly luxurious with a wide variety of options that would appeal to all ages. Especially the seafood – sashimi, sushi, shrimp, scallops, squid, octopus – so much to choose from! There was also Matsusaka beef hot pot and stew, and a rich selection of fruits and desserts. During dinner, we experienced a minor incident, but we were incredibly impressed by the staff's quick response and thoughtfulness. Truly wonderful hospitality and consideration, and the reassuring feeling that staff in every position share information effectively! I am sincerely grateful. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to stay at Toba Seaside Hotel again."

"This was my favorite hotel of the trip. Everything was perfect, except for initially not knowing the shuttle bus stop and having to drag my luggage uphill. The shuttle runs every half hour; I even took photos for everyone's reference. **Regarding the Shuttle Bus:** Since we arrived by JR train, exiting the station puts you directly on the ground level. However, the shuttle stop is actually on the other side, opposite the regular bus terminal. It's easier to spot from the glass window on the second floor, near the service counter where desserts are sold. **Regarding Check-in:** Upon arrival, after registration, you'll be invited to relax in the lobby and enjoy complimentary cake and tea. They will then take your luggage to your room. The lobby is actually on the second floor, while the first floor houses the Pearl Powder Hot Spring, directly accessible by elevator. On the other side of the second floor is the restaurant, which also includes the teppanyaki section. If you wish to try teppanyaki, make sure to book in advance; on our visit, only the Japanese-style option was available, though it was quite delicious. The marshmallow roasting on the lawn is accessed by taking the stairs down from the restaurant area. The atmosphere is lovely, and tea is also served there. **Regarding the Room:** Our room overlooked the lawn and offered a great view. At night, make sure to draw both layers of curtains, as the room is quite visible from the lawn area. All toiletries in the room are from Mikimoto, and they're excellent. The hot spring area also provides them, and they are available for purchase at the lobby shop. **Regarding the Onsen (Hot Spring):** At the onsen entrance, there are vending machines selling milk and ice cream. I enjoy drinking a bottle after my bath; it's very refreshing. The other two flavors are coffee and lactic acid drink. The small lockers right inside the entrance are for shoes. The flat switch on the left can be pulled open to access your locker; remember to check the passcode before closing it. For those who might feel a bit shy, you can grab a small towel before changing. It can be used to cover yourself after undressing or placed on your head while bathing. I usually prefer to wash up in my room before coming down. **Regarding the Hotel (Choujotei):** I personally preferred the Japanese-style Choujotei building. Access to the hot springs is convenient there, and the Pearl Powder Hot Spring is truly sparkling and beautiful. The round pool within it has a slightly lower temperature, allowing for a longer soak. Between the two hotel shops (referring to the shops in Choujotei and the Western-style building), Choujotei's is more enjoyable to browse. The Western-style shop focuses more on pearls, while the Japanese-style Choujotei shop has a wide array of small souvenirs and trinkets, and also offers duty-free shopping. Dining and spa expenses incurred at the hotel can be charged to your room and settled upon check-out. The spa is for guests aged 18 and above; the service is excellent, and the essential oils smell wonderful. It's interesting to note that the staff in the Western-style area all wear suits, while those in the Japanese-style area wear kimonos. **One More Tip:** When waiting for the shuttle, make sure to be attentive and let the staff know you're waiting. Often, if there aren't many people and you're not directly by the door, or if you don't respond when they call, the shuttle might simply leave."

"The location was great. The interior was very clean and stylish. The bathroom tiles were also beautiful. The hot springs were comfortable and had good water flow, with bubble baths, standing baths, and baths you can take while lying down. The open-air bath was also great and I was able to relax. They had midnight noodles, which were perfect for a light snack. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. I'd like to try the food next time."

"Service attitude is very attentive and considerate!"

"There should be relatively few tourists in Toba itself. It is inconvenient if the hotel is on the mountain without a car. It is estimated that there were less than 10 groups of guests staying that day. The small bath in the room is only for one person. The size of the bathtub is very small, and it looks like there is a period of time. No one is using the time"

"All the staff except for the front desk staff were foreigners, but they all spoke excellent Japanese and provided friendly and polite service. After dinner, I went to the bath. The hot water in the washing area gradually cooled down as I used it, and eventually stopped flowing altogether, so I quickly warmed up in the bathtub. There was no hot water for rinsing off when I got out, which made me quite cold. In the washing area, another guest asked me, ”There's no hot water, is there? The bath in my room doesn't have hot water either, and when I contacted the front desk, they told me to use the public bath...” So, I wonder if it's a problem with the facilities? Incidentally, my husband, who bathed before dinner, said the men's bath was fine."

"The price was very reasonable, especially considering the time of year, which I liked! I was a little bothered by the conversations people were making in the hallway that were getting into my room! The food selection is wide, but I wish it was of high quality. I'm not happy with cheap and bad food anymore. The bath water was lukewarm. I'd like a sink and bubbles. Overall it was good!"

"An old style western hotel but in general clean. The staff very nice and helpful. I asked them to help phone a restaurant make booking. I didn't realize the restaurant did not open yet. The hotel staff tried calling the restaurant a few times but no one answered. Finally, the hotel staff sent the restaurant a message. I didn't request the hotel staff to do so but they did it on their own. Without the hotel message to the restaurant, we would not be able to have a nice osyter buffet. Thanks them very much. If I have to complain, I should say they have to clean the bath room more thoroughly. The toilet and bath room inside the room were just totally renovated a few years but there were already black stains and mould on the wall near the bath tub. Also, there's dust on the hand rail in the toilet."

"Facilities: An old hotel, very large, the room is clean, and the bed is comfortable; the hotel has many hot springs, including a public hot spring, several private hot springs (really very small and dark), foot baths, etc. in the hot spring village, which has a good atmosphere. I personally like the public hot springs; there is a welcome sign at the door when I first arrived at the hotel. Meals: Breakfast and dinner are buffets, with seats for sea views, the taste is OK, and there is a fish dismemberment show at a fixed time. Service: Generally good, quite enthusiastic and patient."

"True to its five-star rating, the service was attentive and the facilities were comfortable. The breakfast was lavish, and the dining environment was elegant. The Pearl hot spring was a unique highlight. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely choose to stay here again."
