Ξενοδοχεία με 4-Star σε Mie Prefecture, Japan

"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."

"It was good that the front desk at check-out was polite and helpful. It was also a high point to have a sauna and an open-air bath. Amenity was the minimum necessary. We recommend using the bus as it is a little far from the nearest station."

"When planning my summer vacation trip, I suddenly wanted to go to Ise. When I was looking for a hotel on ctrip, I saw the Ise Jingu Hotel. There were few reviews, so I decided with trepidation. The hotel was just across the street from Ise Station. It was very close and the staff were very friendly. We arrived a little early and they stored our luggage for us. We went out for a walk first. When we came back, the room was ready. They confirmed the breakfast and dinner times with us. Then, we went back to the room. The room was not big, but there was a hot spring on the terrace, so we didn’t have to go to the public hot spring. When we had dinner, they made two other beds for us, so our family of four could sleep well. The dinner and breakfast were both very rich, but the two kids couldn’t finish them all, which felt a bit wasteful. I don’t know if we can choose a children’s set meal. In addition, I don’t know if it was because of the language communication. They didn’t introduce us to the use of the hot spring and other public facilities in advance. It was a bit of a pity, but I still gave it a good review."

"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 room is very old, a bit like a domestic guest house. The mattress is uncomfortable and the bedding feels very old. The air conditioner is wall-mounted and not central air conditioner. The only thing I think is not bad is that the food is okay and the hygiene is okay, but The price of 1700/night is not worth it!"

"We visited during Obon Festival, so hotels across Japan were pricier than usual. This hotel was perfectly situated close to Nagashima Spa Land, and getting there was easy with a direct bus from Kuwana. They offer complimentary coffee and snacks, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the entire place is spotlessly clean. A huge bonus, especially since we were traveling with two kids, was the availability of a triple room – something quite rare to find in Japan, especially during peak season."

"This was my second time staying at this inn, and it was close to the Naiku Shrine, so I decided to stay here. This was my first time visiting the Naiku Shrine early in the morning. I was able to relax and enjoy my time here."

"The hot spring hotel service was very good. It rained heavily that day. The waitress was very good to help me hold an umbrella to our car. I waited for us to leave the car. I respected the guests. The grilled fish for breakfast was very delicious."

"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!"

"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."
