The hotel is relatively old, so I gave it a score of 4.5, but I will choose this hotel again next time. Check-in is also very convenient. There is a free shuttle bus from the Kintetsu Station to the hotel. In the afternoon, I sat in the hotel cafe and looked at the sea to make me feel relaxed. The hotel also has a seafood buffet in the evening, and sashimi is free.
This is the second time I have stayed at VISON since the end of last year. Last year we stayed at HATAGO, but HONZO-SPA was very good and they have a new sauna, so we used the HOTEL on this trip. There is a bathroom on the terrace of the room, but we did not plan to use it. It gives you some privacy, but personally I would prefer a lower tree than the terrace to have a view. The hotel breakfast buffet was good enough and the overall impression was very good.
This hotel is conveniently located directly across from Ise Station, visible as soon as you exit. Its prime location makes getting around by public transport incredibly easy for sightseeing. I stayed in the main building, where the front desk is on the second floor. It's a small space with a charming, old-school Japanese inn vibe. The room itself wasn't large, but that wasn't an issue since I was out exploring all day and only returned to sleep. The public bath is also on the second floor, perfect for relaxing after a full day of activities. Don't forget to grab a complimentary popsicle from outside the bath afterward! There are several dining options both downstairs and in the surrounding area, which should cover most needs. On check-out day, if you need to store your luggage, there are self-service lockers on the second floor where you can leave it and pick it up later after your excursions.
This is an established, somewhat older hotel (not ancient). It's quite large, and you can still see remnants of its 80s and 90s glory days, like the bowling alley. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with a lovely view. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful. The hotel also has its own hot spring bathhouse, with indoor, outdoor, and garden-style rotenburo options. It's very close to Kashikojima Station, and there's a shuttle bus service available. Nearby, there's a small fishing village and harbor you can explore, and even take a boat ride. This is a great place to relax, unwind, and get closer to nature. Plus, it's easily accessible by direct train from Nagoya and Osaka.
This hotel offers a free shuttle service to/from Ugata Station. The rooms are comfortable and the service is warm and attentive! The breakfast spread is also extensive. I suggest the hotel post the specific station for the shuttle service on their website so guests know beforehand (we only found out which station to go to for the shuttle after emailing the hotel).
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.
I made a reservation to go to the Tsu Fireworks Festival.
It was about a 20-minute walk to the fireworks venue,
so it was very convenient!!
It's also nice that there are four types of private baths so you can relax in them.
I'd love to stay here again when I come to Tsu!!
This time we stayed here on a family trip. Because it was New Year's, the hotel was full and there was no place to park our car, so we parked in the parking lot where the staff also parked. The staff were very helpful. We stayed in a villa, which had a high ceiling, a great view, and was very spacious. One thing that was disappointing was that the breakfast was not very tasty or plentiful considering the price. Unlike a buffet, there was a limit to the number of people, so we had to wait in our room for about 30 minutes in the morning, so if you are in a hurry to leave in the morning, it would be better to give yourself plenty of time to go and eat breakfast. Although the breakfast was disappointing, the other services were very good.
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.
We stayed at ocean view the staff was absolutely amazing.We had japanese course for dinner absolutely great the lobster and abalone steaks were excellent and breakfast too..The bad side is the club lounge not available and the guest room toilet was old and not totally clean there is hair on the floor disappointing 🙁

KKennyDuring my recent stay at Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu, I had a mixed experience, resulting in an overall rating of 3 out of 5. While the hotel was generally acceptable, there were some notable drawbacks.
One major issue I encountered was the cleanliness of the rooms. I was disappointed to find a significant number of insects on the walls, which was quite unpleasant and off-putting. As a result, I had to deduct points and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Additionally, compared to my previous stay at another Hotel R9 location, the price at Yard Tsu was slightly higher. However, it was still within an acceptable range considering the overall quality of the hotel.
Despite the drawbacks, I must mention that the hotel's staff were courteous and attentive, providing decent service throughout my stay.
In conclusion, while Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu has some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, its reasonable price and satisfactory service make it an acceptable choice for a short stay. However, I would recommend management to address the cleanliness issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.
NNaoIt 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.
SSmilexiaojiebuaipashanMie 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.
NNGA CHINGExceptional experience. The room was very nice and surprisingly walking distance from the best restaurant in town called Ofuji, me and my boyfriend accidentally walked in and managed to get seats for two for the first night and totally packed with locals. The locals are super friendly and introduced us dishes to enjoy and we ordered almost everything on the menu. This Ofuji restaurant is 4.6 stars in google review which is the highest score in town! The hotel itself is very clean, room is super spacious with living area, couch and you can connect your own Netflix to enjoy the night.
GGuest UserAn 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.
TThaisilKI love this hotel, staff have warm welcome and helpful,
ABF variety food including recommend local food, room clean with eco friendly, I love it❤️❤️❤️
Close train station for transfer to city nearby.
Walk 5-10 mins have 2 supermarket next to hotel 💕💕
GGuest UserThe hotel is conveniently located in the center of the city and it is accessible to all kinds of food and transportation. The staff were very well-mannered and actually, too polite And I felt uneasy sometimes. On the other hand, the parking at the hotel was way expensive, 18000 yen per day. Additionally, the breakfast was a bit ordinary in terms of the choices and quality. It was just average albeit the high price of the breakfast.
