4-Star Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

I wanted a hotel with an ocean view, so I made a reservation despite my misgivings, even though the reviews weren't that good. Many of the hotels in Ise-Shima and Toba are old and date back to the early Showa period, and newer hotels are quite expensive. This hotel is in a great location, and although it is old, it has been properly renovated, so it isn't too rundown, and my concerns were resolved. The tatami mats were nice and comfortable. It was a relief to be able to stay at this price, even though it is the largest facility in the area and a hotel with an ocean view. The hotel's souvenir shop is open late and has a wide selection, so it was really helpful to be able to buy souvenirs that I thought I wouldn't be able to buy at the hotel. I hope you continue to be a great hotel while making up for the aging. I will visit again. Thank you very much.

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.

There is no free parking in the hotel parking lot, only a 200 yen coupon. The front desk has to go up an escalator, but the overall hotel is also very good!

We love it here so much! The service staff are friendly and courteous, and the room is large with a view of Yingyu Bay. Dinner was very delicious and breakfast had lots of choices. I hope to stay here if I have the chance.

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.

It 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.

I am a girl and I took the bus from Nagoya with my child. Except that it took 7 or 8 minutes to get to the hotel by taking a detour according to Google Maps because I was not familiar with the road when I got off the bus (because I brought a 28-inch + 15-inch suitcase, there were many ups and downs along the way, and it was still quite dangerous and laborious to walk on the road. I suggest that the business put up a guide sign near the get-off point, so that it is safer and faster to take the small road to the hotel), everything else was perfect: the room was super big! The sleep was very comfortable! The hotel is very close to the ski area (the bus station is actually here). The waiter introduced us to a safe and fast route (less than 3 minutes). In addition, the hotel also provides cable car tickets for the ski resort, which is very considerate. I will bring my child here next time!

It is a higher-end hot spring chain store. The room was very big. I booked a single room and was given a twin room. The hotel may be 700 meters away from Nakanogo Station in a straight line, but with a narrow strait in the middle, the distance is still very far. You can ask the hotel shuttle to pick you up. The staff are very friendly, there are free late night snacks, and the hot springs are very comfortable. There is nothing to go shopping around, and the hotel does not have many other facilities. It may be a bit boring for a family.

Mie 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.

The room is very old, a bit of the domestic guest house is visual, the mattress is uncomfortable, the bedding feels very old, the air conditioner is wall-mounted, not central air conditioner, the only thing that feels good is that the meal is OK, the health is OK, but the price of 1700/night feels not worth it!
