It was a really cozy place and I would love to come back again! The staff is so kind, the rooms are good cleaned, the atmosphere is really beautiful. My best hostel experience in Japan.
You will have a kitchen, fridge, water and tea. In shared room I have met really nice people from Japan and Europe.
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 🙁
We had a truly wonderful stay at Kashikojima Hojoen. The Japanese-style hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, and the dinner was absolutely fantastic — a full Japanese-style meal experience that was both refined and satisfying.
The facilities are reasonably maintained, and the highlight for us was the outdoor onsen — incredibly relaxing, peaceful, and enjoyable. We loved every moment of our stay and would highly recommend this ryokan/resort to anyone visiting the Ise–Shima area for a true Japanese experience.
The 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.
Spectacular view of the ocean... a bit difficult to find this hotel as it was up on a slope (wasn't expecting that) and likely because I was driving in the dark. Signs were kind of hard to see. Beautiful hotel, buffet dinner and breakfast were good.

Amazing
AAIcyanToba International Hotel Shiojitei was an absolute highlight of our trip. The exceptional service truly stood out, embodying the Japanese spirit of 'omotenashi' from start to finish. This began with the shuttle pick-up from Toba Station, followed by detailed guidance during check-in, and enthusiastic explanations of each dish in the restaurant – every interaction was flawless.
The food, featuring local delicacies like Ise Bay seafood and Matsusaka beef, was undeniably delicious and beautifully presented. While you mentioned the portion sizes were 'rather average,' this is typical of kaiseki-style dining; although there are many courses, individual portions are small. For those with larger appetites, it might feel a little insufficient. The hotel facilities are well-maintained, with both the guest rooms and the onsen area (the Pearl Onsen left our skin sparkling!) being spotlessly clean. Overall, it has no obvious weaknesses; the service, dining, and ambiance harmonized perfectly to provide the best hotel experience of our trip.
AAnonymous UserWe used this hotel as a family celebration trip. The facilities were beautiful and lovely, but what really impressed us was the warm and wonderful service from the staff. Due to the earthquake in Russia, trains were stopped and we had no means of transportation, but they extended our check-out time and were very accommodating.
The food was delicious, and each dish was carefully prepared. The breakfast buffet was also very satisfying, with so many options, including Japanese and Western cuisine, that we couldn't finish it all. We signed up for morning yoga, and started the morning off right in the open space surrounded by greenery on the property, listening to the birds chirping and feeling the breeze, which was a wonderful way to start the day.
Next time we visit, we'd like to enjoy a cruise or something similar.
Jjiajia777This is an older, well-established hotel that is impeccably maintained. It's just a few minutes' walk from the station. The rooms are quite spacious by Japanese standards, and the pricing is reasonable outside of peak season. The breakfast is decent, if not exceptional. I would recommend staying here.
GGuest UserA relaxing stay with excellent hot springs—especially the outdoor bath with lovely views. The dinner was also very good, with fresh seafood and a satisfying Japanese dining experience.
GGuest UserWe came back yesterday. We went with just our kids (high school students). The front desk staff were very accommodating when we told them in advance that we would be going with just the kids, and it looked good after we got there. The pool and baths were close, and there was an easy-to-access path, so we came back very happy. We'll go again! Thank you very much.
Bbriantse92On the mountainside of Tangzhi Mountain, suitable for self-driving people, the hotel is a mix of Japanese and Western style, dinner and breakfast are Japanese, there are also hot springs to use, if you feel bored, you can also use table tennis for free.
Wwei-wei-wei-weiTrue to its five-star rating, the service was attentive and the facilities were comfortable. The breakfast was lavish, and the dining environment was elegant. The Pearl hot spring was a unique highlight. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely choose to stay here again.
JJINGKintetsu Toba Station has an exit that is specially used for pick-up from various hotels. It is very convenient. There were several Chinese-speaking waiters in the hotel, the communication was smooth, the Japanese waiters were very enthusiastic, and I also helped print the ticket reservations I needed. Children like Japanese-style rooms, can see the sea view, dinner is a set of meals, different prices, things are different. The location of the room in Ctrip is relatively poor.
AAnihaseyoTransportation: Take the Shimakaze train to Kashikojima, which takes about two and a half hours. Contact the hotel in advance for a pick-up from Kashikojima station.
The hotel does not provide airport pick-up, but can arrange car hire for guests.
Transportation is very inconvenient.
Facilities: The facilities are very good. The interior styles of the three Aman hotels in Japan are very similar, and the rooms and public areas are well-maintained.
Service: The service is very good.
Food: Due to the hotel's remote location, there are no restaurants nearby, so all meals were eaten at the hotel.
The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good (I thought it wouldn't be good).
Dinner reservations must be made in advance, as the hotel is fully booked on holidays, and the restaurant's dinner slots are also fully booked. You either have to wait until 8:30 pm or eat at the bar.
If you choose to eat dinner at the bar, you won't be able to get shabu-shabu.
The lunch menu is different; it's a simple meal, but acceptable.
The first set meal was a regular set meal, which included a beef dish with a green sauce that was super delicious; I used it to mix with rice.
The second set meal included shabu-shabu, with options for Ise lobster, Matsusaka beef, and local beef; I chose the local beef. The reddish-brown sauce in the shabu-shabu was absolutely delicious.
Activities: Chinese-speaking guides can be requested for tours of Ise.
The hotel didn't email us in advance to inform us about activities or inquire about arrangements. Many activities were unavailable upon check-in.
Summary: Aside from the inconvenient transportation and the lack of advance email communication about activities during my stay, everything was fine.
JJeabsiriBecause the reservation is close and it is a weekend, the price is high. Therefore there are not many options. But it is better than I thought. Good service staff The room is ok, clean, good view, convenient parking. The onsen is good, both indoor and outdoor, but the floor is very slippery. Both in the pond and the walkway to take a bath. In the morning, there are alternate rooms, which is bigger and more comfortable.
