Ξενοδοχεία με bar σε Mie Prefecture, Japan

Toba International Hotel Shiojitei was an absolute highlight of our trip. The exceptional service truly stood out, embodying the Japanese spirit of 'omotenashi' from start to finish. This began with the shuttle pick-up from Toba Station, followed by detailed guidance during check-in, and enthusiastic explanations of each dish in the restaurant – every interaction was flawless. The food, featuring local delicacies like Ise Bay seafood and Matsusaka beef, was undeniably delicious and beautifully presented. While you mentioned the portion sizes were 'rather average,' this is typical of kaiseki-style dining; although there are many courses, individual portions are small. For those with larger appetites, it might feel a little insufficient. The hotel facilities are well-maintained, with both the guest rooms and the onsen area (the Pearl Onsen left our skin sparkling!) being spotlessly clean. Overall, it has no obvious weaknesses; the service, dining, and ambiance harmonized perfectly to provide the best hotel experience of our trip.

It's conveniently located near the station. The staff were friendly. Each bed had a place to hang out clothes and towels, and each bed also had a curtain to ensure privacy. I guess I was unlucky since it was a dormitory, but the person sleeping directly below me in the bunk bed was really loud in his sleep. After the lights were out and everyone had fallen asleep, he would suddenly start laughing and saying ”tell me! tell me!”, which scared me and kept me up all night.

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.

A very traditional Japanese-style onsen hotel located in Yunoyama Onsen Town. The entire onsen town is quite deserted, seemingly fallen into disrepair. The hotel itself is very nice, and the food is also excellent. The onsen itself is average. The evening dessert buffet was a pleasant surprise; the variety and taste were all superb. Overall, a very good experience.

A relaxing stay with excellent hot springs—especially the outdoor bath with lovely views. The dinner was also very good, with fresh seafood and a satisfying Japanese dining experience.

We used this hotel as a family celebration trip. The facilities were beautiful and lovely, but what really impressed us was the warm and wonderful service from the staff. Due to the earthquake in Russia, trains were stopped and we had no means of transportation, but they extended our check-out time and were very accommodating. The food was delicious, and each dish was carefully prepared. The breakfast buffet was also very satisfying, with so many options, including Japanese and Western cuisine, that we couldn't finish it all. We signed up for morning yoga, and started the morning off right in the open space surrounded by greenery on the property, listening to the birds chirping and feeling the breeze, which was a wonderful way to start the day. Next time we visit, we'd like to enjoy a cruise or something similar.

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.

Everything was average, but the building itself is old and the bathroom felt dirty.

A perfect experience! The room was huge, and you absolutely *must* book an ocean view room! The entire resort is beautiful, and dinner was delicious too 😋 [New Year's Sale 2026] [Limited Time Offer] French Full Course ”Harmony” Dinner Plan (with Japanese Lobster + Fillet Mignon): Huge thanks to the restaurant for their warm service. We had our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here and were so happy! 🥳

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.
