Best Hotels near Shinmei Shrine Ishigami-san, Toba

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.

Let me start by saying that the staff, particularly in the restaurant, had good English and we had no problems communicating generally, which I know has been mentioned in other reviews. We stayed in an Ocean Suite room for our engagement weekend, the view was amazing! Watching the sun rise over the sea was beautiful and the panorama of the islands and sea was so peaceful. The room was plush and the furniture felt relatively new. The bathrobes and pyjamas provided by the hotel during our stay were very comfortable, though something of a shame to not be able to go from room to onsen without outdoor clothes (other robes are provided at the onsen). I and my partner both have various food allergies or intolerances but the hotel has an exceptionally good way of managing allergies by asking you to submit a form beforehand. As a result of this, we were both able to have full, proper meals with no issues. For the breakfast buffet, we were given a sheet, in English, of all the dishes on service and all allergens. The food was excellent and the wine list was the best I have seen anywhere in Japan. There are regular shuttles from the hotel to station, and the reverse. However, these stop after a certain hour and the hotel is not easily walkable from the station. I am still not really sure how this would normally be done, I assume the hotel will pick you up if asked but we were not sure how to arrange (and originally thought from the map that it would be walkable). Honestly, I am looking forward to going back there - hopefully for an anniversary!

Stayed at the standard twin on the 12th floor. From the window of the room, you can see from the large premises of Ise City Station to Uji Yamada Station, and it seems that you are looking at the diorama of the Kintetsu and JR Sangu Lines, so it was a view that I would never get tired of seeing as a railroad lover. The room was clean, the bed was a semi-double size 1 and a single size 1, and it was a size that was fine if you only sleep with 2 people. Each bedside had a 100V outlet, which was good to charge your smartphone while lying on the bed. If you have a USB jack for charging on the bedside, you don't need a charger. The empty refrigerator and kettle pot were convenient for drinking your favorite drinks. From 15:00 to 24:00, regular coffee at the restaurant entrance was all-you-can-drink and it was good to relax in the room. In addition, the large communal bath of the artificial hot spring had a washroom for 6 people and the bathtub was reasonably large, but at 8 pm and 5 am, the users stretched their limbs and feet with about 3 ～ 4 people. You can take a bath, I was tired of visiting Jingu. I think the 1,100 yen buffet breakfast was worth more than the price, with plain omelets cooked in front of you and Ise udon noodles of local gourmet food. I was able to eat plenty of vegetables that tend to be scarce when traveling. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

I saw a nice photo of the homepage and decided to this hotel immediately. Lobby, courtyard, pool, corridor... It was a hotel full of exotic feelings that I wanted to take pictures everywhere. Clean, customer service was polite and cozy. However, I felt that it took a little time to see the sightseeing spot. So this time I will be at the hotel and will use it again next year ♪

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 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.

It is a long time trip with an elderly mother. After visiting ISE, the weather was not very good, so I arrived a little early. I waited in the lobby for a while until check-in time. The young staff guided me to the room, but I thought it was polite and good. The room was a Japanese room and it was too large for two people to use, and the view from the window was great. I was worried about whether the shape of the building was ”kunoji” or the appearance of guests in other rooms. I can see this figure, so it is not possible to change clothes by the window without intention. The bathroom, the bath were clean, and the toilet seemed to be a little ventilated. The public bath and open-air bath were clean and very comfortable. Because the meal was also a graded plan, it was full of taste, quantitative satisfaction, and the table was small in the chair seat or the dishes were lined up. I also enjoyed the local sake in Mie Prefecture. The staff is also good. However, although the meal place is a private room, the conversation of the next guest was probably separated by the mobile wall in the room, and it was like a room in a tavern. The next day was the same room, and it was dark at dinner and I didn't notice it, but when I visited at breakfast, I looked at the back and there seemed to be a seat near the window (we were near the entrance), and if it was a corner, I would like to eat while watching the scenery. I felt a little sorry with Tana ～. ISE tsurutoba is a local people who are enough distance on a day trip, so I was able to spend a good time at a better hotel that I usually never stay at.

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.

Having come to Ise to visit Ise Shrine, while I had to work online, I needed a good internet access and selected this hotel. The building is new and super clean overall. It should have been perfect if the internet access was good, though the location is a bit away from Ise Shrine and the Ise stations. Two reasons why I give just three stars. 1. The most important thing - Internet access! Terrible. Wifi keeps falling, and I need to reset the Wifi on mobile and the laptop. VPN is no way. Zoom didn't work, either. Just pathetic. With the third call with the front desk, I got a router, which never had a Wifi signal and was useless. I ended up bringing out my Rakuten pocket router, and it was able to make my day, whew!  I'm sure the hotel staff would help till I get the comfortable internet access. I tried but lost a patience after having called them three times (I was 7-minute late for my Zoom meeting, being hassled to get connected, that should be a good reason to take one star down, too).2. I wanted to use the big bathtub for a comfort from my long trip, but I got hesitated to pass through the front area and didn't go and use. The hotel allows the guests to wear Yukata and Tanzen to come to the bath, but I didn't want to. I don't get how the guests can be comfortable in Yukata in lobby. Even with my regular clothes, well, I couldn't imagine myself passing through the people at the front desk right after taking the bath... I've never seen a hotel with such a awful bathroom location, so one star down, definitely. お伊勢参りが目的で、でも仕事があるためこのホテルを予約しました。インターネットアクセスがマストなるも、結局使えず、セットアップに悪戦苦闘しただけ。ホテルのロケーションは町から離れており、インターネットアクセスの状態からして、結果として、このビジネスホテルにする必要はなかったです。
