Ξενοδοχεία Romantic 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.

The hotel is located near Futamiura Station by the sea, very close to the Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks), offering beautiful sunrise views. The Japanese breakfast set at the 10th Floor Dream Story is quite exquisite. A hotel shuttle bus is available in the morning for visiting Ise Grand Shrine and Iseichi Station. The hotel's onsen (hot spring) is called Shichifuku, which, although small, allows for reservations of private baths.

It was during racing weekend and all surrounding hotels are full. This seems to be a lover’s hotel, Karaoke room. Luckily nobody sang 😂. There is no staff at front desk or anywhere. Free coffee and soda machines. Room is very big with a big bed, projector, TV, sofa, big jacuzzi and separate toilet. Because of the size air conditioning is quite insufficient. Free parking and lots of spaces. Location is quite out of the way in the middle of the fields. We thought we were lost looking for it late after dark. There’s dust beneath the bed and under the mattress but I guess most people would not notice. Overall it was a good stay and good value.

No microwave oven －５ point. Karaoke voice does not come out － 10 points. There is no split chopsticks and －３ points. Communication speed is a little slow and － 10 points. You can see ”movies” and ”adult cinemas” on the hotel channel. You can watch BS broadcasting. The decisive factor is massage chair. Is the shower head good or good?

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! 🥳
