Popular Toba 4-star Hotels

This hotel is one of the most famous in Toba…and probably was a real gem 40/50 years ago when the Japanese Emperor and even Queen Elizabeth II stayed here…but like Toba itself is probably not what it once was! The hotel is in 2 wings (the Ocean wing and the Harbor wing) At first we booked a Harbor wing room. The room,while offering a view of the water,looks out onto the back of the ferry terminal in the distance.Also it seems that the sightseeing boats sometimes come into this area to turn or park up.From about 7 am you will hear boarding sounds to announce the different ferries leaving….which certainly makes it a more lively experience. We were offered an upgrade (unfortunately not free) to an Ocean View suite for ¥2500 per person…and after seeing the room we jumped at the chance. A huge room (two big beds) with uninterrupted views out to sea.Probably refurbished about 4 or 5 years ago…the bedroom and sitting area were very nice with a telescope for birdwatching if you are interested.Also a Nespresso coffee machine and free water. The bathroom and toilet seemed older and while it was lovely to have a bath in the morning with the sun streaming in and the wind blowing,these rooms could probably do with an upgrade to put them in line with the bedroom/sitting area (don’t look too carefully at the floors…carpets…tatami flooring or the big green bathtub) Package included breakfast. There was good English signage on the different foodstuffs on offer. The Japanese food selection seemed good/the western options a little disappointing (omelettes…cooked to order if you ask/fish and chips/pizza/sausage and grilled bacon) There is no hot spring in this hotel itself.The sister hotel - Shiojitei - a beautiful looking Japanese style ryokan hotel houses the baths.Guests can use the pearl baths by either walking easily from the Harbor view rooms (about 2-3 minutes) or take a shuttle bus from the reception area. The baths were very nice…but if they are the purpose of your stay then stay at Shiojitei as you can wear your yukata and just pop up/down from your room.You have to dress/undress appropriately if you stay in the International and this might be a little too much trouble to go to the baths a number of times! The staff are excellent.Very friendly and welcoming(a few spoke English)Their shuttle services to/from the train station are frequent and they will even do outside of the schedule if you are lucky! Also they take guests to/from Shiojitei at the drop of a hat. All in all.Beautiful views from the Ocean wing suites.If that s what you re looking for worth the upgrade from the Harbor wing rooms. The ocean views are better from the International…whereas for a Japanese feeling hotel with the main focus on the hot-spring baths I would stay at Shiojitei.

Just before GW, I stayed as a refreshment when I visited Ise Jingu shrine. I had ISE tea and cheese cake hospitality after checking in at the front desk, but this cheese cake was very delicious. The room is modern Japanese. The view is outstanding with the sea from the window. It was a nice room. Dinner was a Japanese course (with spiny lobster and abalone) in a private room of a restaurant called Shiraishi, but the volume was just right and everything was delicious. Also, the male staff who were in charge at this dinner was very friendly and I was able to spend a satisfying time. Breakfast is also Japanese, but it was very delicious and I was able to relax. The hot spring bath was also beautiful and good. I think the customer service of the hotel staff 々 (both male staff and female staff 々) is outstanding. Also, I would like to stay when visiting Ise Jingu shrine.

It's the most joyful family in Japan when I come back! Although a bit old, hygiene is absolutely fine. There is a shuttle service to jr toba, about 5 minutes by car. The hotel has Chinese staff. Ctrip is not very honest. The so-called sea view room is just a sea view at the end of the view. The open-air experience is very good! Breakfast is mainly Japanese, with many varieties, personally prefer. Check out at 10 o'clock, unfortunately I did n’t enjoy it. If possible, I will go to Toba again.

This hotel is the biggest surprise of our trip to Sane County, no one! The whole hotel is surrounded by mountains and sea, the building is an Italian-style castle, the interior is retro but very bright! The room is with a balcony, facing the sea and trees, to be cured! I booked a package that included two meals and one berth and stayed for two nights. It turned out that the first day dinner was French and six-course, and the next day dinner was kaiseki; we chose Japanese for both breakfasts, because it was too luxurious and they were as rich as dinner. In the evening, I also soaked in hot springs with my daughter ♨️; The hotel's service is very abundant, really wholeheartedly recommended!

I booked an old-fashioned inn because the regulation of corona pass was relaxed. On an unusual hot day, I gave up outdoor sightseeing (such as a pleasure boat) and arrived early. I left the car and went out to buy souvenirs nearby. If it was not hot, I wanted to walk in the garden from the room. The view of the room on the sea side was great. The meal was a Viking for two meals, but it was devised, not a thing, and it was very delicious and satisfying. The dessert was delicious and small, so I was able to eat a lot of variety. There was a free rental bath other than that and I enjoyed it. The rooms are Japanese rooms, and the oldness is undeniable, but the cleaning was neat and I was able to spend it comfortably. Although it was a long established inn, there was hospitality, and there was hospitality facing the present, and it felt fresh. It was impressive that the staff 々 was very polite.

The location is close considering the distance from the station, but I think it's okay for a moment because there is no sidewalk on the way. But I arrived unexpectedly soon when I walked along the track. The children were very happy with the wifi. It was good because there was no connection in the hotel or the speed was very slow even if it was connected. I stayed at a night stay without meals, but the nearby shops were delicious and the price was reasonable and the answer was great. The hot spring of the hotel is pleasant, it seems to be a hot spring, or it is a skin touch that I think is different at the moment I entered, and I stayed here for a night and relaxed in the hot spring It was Taisho that the meal was served in a local delicious shop It was a solution.

Overall okay, Let me talk about the shortcomings. 1. Drive for 4 minutes from Kintetsu Toba Station and call the hotel to pick it up. There are no convenience stores nearby, the nearest one is in Toba Station. 2. The arrangement of serving dinner is not reasonable. It's almost finished, and the rice won't move. 3. There is only one open-air wind, which is rotated every day. This open-air one can see the sea view. 4. Too expensive, the overall cost is not high. advantage, 1. The room has a sea view. Although it is not as good as the sea view of Shimoda, it is OK. 2. The room is quite large and spacious. 3. The hot spring facilities are relatively complete, including towels, face toners and lotions. 4. They have mountain village milk. You must buy this and drink it at any time. On the next itinerary, we only saw three bottles in the convenience store of Xiandao Station. The fruity flavor is particularly delicious.

Still great! Stayed at this hotel 2 years ago before the world changed due to the pandemic and was lucky enough to stay in a Sakura room on the 8th floor at that time…so was hoping to stay there again! Unfortunately no such luck as the hotel was completely full (it seemed) with a lot of families and a coach party (not the best feeling as we move out of the pandemic!) The pluses: Free shuttle from the train station Welcome drinks in the lobby (1 alcoholic drink per person) Shampoo and body soap bar…if interested Fantastic selection and quality of the dinner and breakfast buffets Large baths which allow you to feel pretty isolated even when quite full. The minuses: The rooms on the 5/6/7th floors have seen better days….rooms near the hot spring baths on the 2/3 & 4th floors seems to be the best along with the Sakura rooms on the 8th floor. Pretty noisy from 7 am at the front of the hotel. Presence of groups at this time does not add to a feeling of safety. All in all…so glad that this hotel has survived the last year and a half! Would definitely stay again if I could get a good deal!

I used it on a group trip with people with disabilities. If the prefecture is not the same prefecture, the travel company seems to be unable to move, and all of them responded directly. There was a difference, and it was hard, but I answered this request properly. The meal was about the first of the group trips until now, and it was impressed with the handmade feeling that the breakfast was used. There were many foreign people, but everyone felt neat and nice. The building is old, but I want to go again for a delicious meal and hot spring.

Stayed for three nights, the environment is very good, the mountain is facing the sea, the dining level is high, the service attitude is very good, there is a shuttle bus, the soup is comfortable, the check-out time is later than the average Japanese hotel (12 o'clock), do not hurry.
