Hotels near Kokichi Mikimoto Statue in 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.

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.

An old style western hotel but in general clean. The staff very nice and helpful. I asked them to help phone a restaurant make booking. I didn't realize the restaurant did not open yet. The hotel staff tried calling the restaurant a few times but no one answered. Finally, the hotel staff sent the restaurant a message. I didn't request the hotel staff to do so but they did it on their own. Without the hotel message to the restaurant, we would not be able to have a nice osyter buffet. Thanks them very much. If I have to complain, I should say they have to clean the bath room more thoroughly. The toilet and bath room inside the room were just totally renovated a few years but there were already black stains and mould on the wall near the bath tub. Also, there's dust on the hand rail in the toilet.

The hotel has free parking and there is a free parking ticket to the Spanish Village next door. The room is large and it is a country. The back type hotel, the corridors are very similar, and I feel a little thriller at night. It's a little shabby, but it's a good fit for the Spanish sense of shabbyness. After more than a year, I finally had a buffet breakfast at the hotel! If you drive for dinner, there will be the nearest family for a few minutes, or go to Zhimo City a few kilometers away to eat. Don't want to trouble yourself to have Japanese and Western restaurants in the hotel. The front desk service is very good, there is a Spanish dance performance at night, and there is a seat early.

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.

The hotel is still some distance from the station, mainly because there are almost no pedestrians along the way, and it is best to take a taxi with luggage. In terms of environment, facilities and sanitation, this price is still reasonable. There are supermarkets and すき homes nearby, and it is no problem to fill your stomach. It is also recommended to take a taxi to Hengshan Observatory. The whole road is 3km away. There is a strange walk. Wi-Fi is very unstable and almost can be considered as no Wi-Fi

Very good, there is a shuttle bus to the train station, remember to ask the front desk in advance for a timetable, the front desk is very warm, there is a dryer washing machine, breakfast buffet should have some, the room is spacious, the fly in the ointment is that the double bed is 1.5 meters, two big and one small to sleep sideways.

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.

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。

Location was decent - about 8-9 min walk from JR Iseshi station. Hotel lounge area was super. Just refurbished/looks modern and trendy, with a 24/7 coffee and tea bar. Room itself - clean-ish, felt alright, but I get what other reviewers mean when they say it is old. The rooms are clean, very basic but not modern. Wallpaper slightly peeling but they are trying their best to keep up appearances. Bathroom was clean. Reception lady was really earnest and nice. Overall, for the price paid in this area, I have no complaints and would stay again unless I find something better at same value.
