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.
This is an older, well-established hotel that is impeccably maintained. It's just a few minutes' walk from the station. The rooms are quite spacious by Japanese standards, and the pricing is reasonable outside of peak season. The breakfast is decent, if not exceptional. I would recommend staying here.
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.
The hotel rooms were new and clean, and the front desk staff were also good. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. My only regret was not having enough time to enjoy the hot springs. It's super close to the theme park, and in summer, you can also visit their water park, which the kids absolutely loved.
Hotel was well located and easy to find. Room was comfortable but no housekeeping if you stay consecutive nights. Fresh towels were just placed in a bag and hung outside our door. They did not enter the room to clear rubbish nor place the fresh towels or make the beds even though I specifically requested it. Carpark was free. Coin laundry was also available.
Actually, I wasn't planning to stay at this hotel in the first place... I realized I had forgotten to make a reservation just before I went, so I hurriedly booked and this was the only hotel available. In hindsight, my expectations weren't high at all, but the breakfast was free, the room was spacious and clean, and it was probably newer than the hotel I had originally planned to stay at, and it was spacious and clean. I think God must have guided me to this hotel. It was very close to Ise-shi Station, and I stayed there for three nights, and it was easy to access the surrounding tourist spots such as Ise Shrine, Takihara Shrine, Meoto Iwa, and Kashikojima, so I had a great trip. It was raining on the day we returned, so I bought a plastic umbrella at the hotel and got a sturdy 60cm jump umbrella for ¥320. They were very conscientious until the very end♪ The breakfast smoothie was the best!
Toba seaside hotel stay review (03/10/2025 – 03/13/2025)
Toba Seaside Hotel
Over-all feeling: Satisfied
a. The hotel shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes (hotel and toba (Toba Station), which is very convenient.
Every day at 9:07am, there is a bus from the hotel to Ise Jingu (Geigu, Naigu) & Ise City Station. You don't have to transfer at Toba Station, which saves a lot of time.
b. (03/10/2025 – 03/13/2025) Stay at NOZOMI (Wangguan), the whole building has been renovated
Clean, comfortable.
c. Three buildings have three large bathing areas, where you can enjoy a relaxing and pleasant bath.
d. Breakfast buffet, because I am a vegetarian, I think the menu is just average.
e Toba Bay is a beautiful harbor, where you can sit quietly in front of the window in the evening. Watch. Seabirds flying. The boats are sparkling, and I think of the lines from ”The Preface to the Red Cliff” (”The breeze blows gently, and the water is calm”)... I can't help but feel relaxed and happy.
The following are also suggestions:
1. The restaurant only has Japanese dish names. Suggestion: add English. What's funny is that the COFFEE MACHINE is also only in Japanese, which makes people feel at a loss.
2. The shuttle bus sign is only in Japanese.
3. You cannot pay the bill before 7:00 am. I have been traveling to Japan for many years and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. It seems like a strange management method.
I planned and searched two days before and booked this place because it was the only room left. It was a plan with no meals. It was Golden Week and all-inclusive, so it took a long time to check in because there was a long line. The staff handed out hotel information sheets, so I was able to read them while waiting in line, which was good. After checking in, I had drinks and snacks in the lounge. I ate some taco chips, but the texture was old and damp, which was disappointing. There were three children and two adults in my family, but there were many families around, so I was glad that I could spend my time without worrying. The meals were buffet-style both in the evening and in the morning, and I thought about signing up for breakfast, but the price was a little high, so I ate outside. There were a few restaurants within a short drive, so I was glad that I was able to keep the hotel price down on this whirlwind trip.
The hotel is very new and clean, but the location is average. The restaurants nearby close very early, and there are not many good restaurants. The advantage is that there is Donki nearby, a good place to go after dinner
Unfortunately, the women's hot spring was temporarily closed, so my wife was unable to enjoy it.
Very Good

GGuest UserHotel staff were very helpful and helped me find my way around the local area. Unfortunately, the hotel was very dated, and wasn't as clean as I would have liked. My room was a non-smoking room but there was a definite smell of tobacco in the room which can be quite sickly especially with the air conditioning pumping the smell around.
KKennyDuring my recent stay at Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu, I had a mixed experience, resulting in an overall rating of 3 out of 5. While the hotel was generally acceptable, there were some notable drawbacks.
One major issue I encountered was the cleanliness of the rooms. I was disappointed to find a significant number of insects on the walls, which was quite unpleasant and off-putting. As a result, I had to deduct points and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Additionally, compared to my previous stay at another Hotel R9 location, the price at Yard Tsu was slightly higher. However, it was still within an acceptable range considering the overall quality of the hotel.
Despite the drawbacks, I must mention that the hotel's staff were courteous and attentive, providing decent service throughout my stay.
In conclusion, while Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu has some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, its reasonable price and satisfactory service make it an acceptable choice for a short stay. However, I would recommend management to address the cleanliness issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.
NNaoIt was good to have a large room with an ocean view and a relaxing room.
However, it was very conspicuous that the manners of the public bath users were too bad. Even though there is a ban on the use of tattoos at the entrance, a child who has a tattoos is used, a child who starts a swimming tournament at a hot spring, and a mother who doesn't pay attention to it. We do not recommend using the hot springs around 21:00 after meals. Since there is no key in the shoe locker, I was in trouble because there was no slippers in the building where I put them when I returned.
I felt that I would like you to improve the tattoo notes, such as locking the shoe locker.
GGuest UserThe food was delicious and although it was a quiet town, I was able to relax. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.
SSmilexiaojiebuaipashanMie Prefecture is a relatively remote and rural place, but Toba, Ise and Shima are still worth visiting.
Todaya Hotel exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just an ordinary local Japanese-style hotel, but it turned out to be very large, with two buildings, a large public bath, an open-air bath, and several free private baths for families. There are quite a few medals at the front desk.
The room size is not large among Japanese-style rooms, but it is more spacious than ordinary modern rooms. Western-style beds are also more comfortable. The dinner was quite rich, with both Japanese and Western flavors, and the freshly roasted beef was delicious. Breakfast is on the top floor of the South Building, facing the sea, with a great view. There are also many dining options.
Mikimoto Pearl Island and Toba Aquarium are nearby.
When you check in, you will see the last name or first name of each room occupant on the welcome board at the hotel entrance. It is quite interesting to find your own name.
DDr.RayWe stayed at Sanco Inn Kuwana for a night when we were in town to attend a wedding and found it to be a small but well-equipped hotel in a quiet, charming town. While the room and bathroom were quite compact—just enough space to open one suitcase—they thoughtfully included a small bathtub, though it may be a tight fit for taller guests when showering. It was adequate for us (a family of 2 adults 1 toddler)
The hotel impressed us with its attention to detail, offering various types of pillows and night robes in different sizes, even for children. Breakfast was a concise but well-curated selection. It’s best to come down early, as seating can be limited and there may be a queue for food. Conveniently, takeaway boxes were also available for those who prefer to eat on the go.
The location was great, with several convenience stores nearby and the train station just a few minutes’ walk away. A comfortable and practical stay for a short trip!
Ccotton_fromokinawaIt was a very beautiful room with good cleaning.
I stayed in a family type room with two people, so I was satisfied with the size! Even if I spread a large suitcase 2, it didn't get in the way at all ◎
There is no room key, unlock it with the password given at the front desk and enter the room.
It was comfortable not to carry a key card on purpose ♩
There was a mini kitchen and cooking utensils and tableware, microwave oven, refrigerator and freezer ・: * +.
There are not many rice shops in the neighborhood and it closes quickly, so I think it's good to buy ingredients at the supermarket and cook for yourself before going to Ise City.
ZZenix KAlthough it is far away, it takes half an hour to go up and down the mountain every day. It is the last bus at 6 o'clock in the evening. It is not convenient to have the first bus at 9:55 in the morning, but the scenery is really great.
The most cost-effective among the surrounding hotels! You can plan the itinerary in advance.
TThaisilKI love this hotel, staff have warm welcome and helpful,
ABF variety food including recommend local food, room clean with eco friendly, I love it❤️❤️❤️
Close train station for transfer to city nearby.
Walk 5-10 mins have 2 supermarket next to hotel 💕💕
