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.
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.
Perfect place for onsen and short remedy treat! Excellent meals ( breakfast and dinner ) provided upon booking the room! Enjoying the crab dinner a lot! They even provided the ramen as supper 👍🏻👍🏻

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.
TTravelbugXOur stay at Sun Urashima Yuki no Sato was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and impeccable hospitality that made us feel truly special.
The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of Toba Bay. Waking up to the peaceful ocean scenery each morning was incredibly relaxing. The onsen was equally impressive—immaculately maintained, soothing, and the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.
The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were exceptional. Every dish showcased the freshness of the local seafood and seasonal ingredients, with each course thoughtfully presented. Dining here wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience.
What stood out most was the attention to detail. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, from the seamless check-in to the thoughtful service throughout our visit. You can genuinely feel the pride they take in providing outstanding hospitality.
If you’re looking for an authentic luxury ryokan experience with amazing food, stunning views, and unforgettable service, Sun Urashima Yuki no Sato is absolutely worth the visit. We left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to returning someday.
TTianjiaThe hotel is very overpriced for an old facility. We booked an oceanview room but the windows are blocked with bars and can barely be opened. Our room on the second floor could barely see the ocean. Furniture and decoration scream OLD.
Most front desk workers are not Japanese. They claim to have an ”international crew” but the problem is they don't know much about Japan. When we asked the doorman about taking trains, he didn't have a crew because he just got to Japan from another Asian country. On the other hand, the restaurants only have Japanese workers and no one speaks English. We booked an 8-course dinner. The chef was going around to explain the dishes to guests but just left us when he found out we don't speak Japanese. The menu is in Japanese only.
This hotel also charged us at 135:1 foreign exchange rate while all other hotels charged 142-144:1 JPY-USD. It's not a foreigner friendly hotel and way overpriced for what it is.
TtatuminThe hot spring, dinner, and breakfast were all very satisfying. The buffet-style dinner and breakfast, in particular, were incredibly luxurious with a wide variety of options that would appeal to all ages. Especially the seafood – sashimi, sushi, shrimp, scallops, squid, octopus – so much to choose from! There was also Matsusaka beef hot pot and stew, and a rich selection of fruits and desserts. During dinner, we experienced a minor incident, but we were incredibly impressed by the staff's quick response and thoughtfulness. Truly wonderful hospitality and consideration, and the reassuring feeling that staff in every position share information effectively! I am sincerely grateful. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to stay at Toba Seaside Hotel again.
GGuest UserThere should be relatively few tourists in Toba itself. It is inconvenient if the hotel is on the mountain without a car. It is estimated that there were less than 10 groups of guests staying that day. The small bath in the room is only for one person. The size of the bathtub is very small, and it looks like there is a period of time. No one is using the time
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.
HHenlandemaoWhen planning my summer vacation trip, I suddenly wanted to go to Ise. When I was looking for a hotel on ctrip, I saw the Ise Jingu Hotel. There were few reviews, so I decided with trepidation. The hotel was just across the street from Ise Station. It was very close and the staff were very friendly. We arrived a little early and they stored our luggage for us. We went out for a walk first. When we came back, the room was ready. They confirmed the breakfast and dinner times with us. Then, we went back to the room. The room was not big, but there was a hot spring on the terrace, so we didn’t have to go to the public hot spring. When we had dinner, they made two other beds for us, so our family of four could sleep well. The dinner and breakfast were both very rich, but the two kids couldn’t finish them all, which felt a bit wasteful. I don’t know if we can choose a children’s set meal. In addition, I don’t know if it was because of the language communication. They didn’t introduce us to the use of the hot spring and other public facilities in advance. It was a bit of a pity, but I still gave it a good review.
AAmia Devibari was so shocked with the bathroom and toilet, SO NICE AND AO CLEAN!!!!!! even their shampoo and conditioner were so good, i have to ask the host what it were 😂
and it’s like they really think what the guest will need.
the only downside was the bed is obviously used many times now. it squeaks with a little movement.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
AAnonymous UserThe information provided by the trip platform was wrong. I originally booked a room with a private style. When I checked-in, I was told that we didn’t book this room. It was said that the platform was wrong. Because the hotel is remote, there is no restaurant nearby. The convenience store is more than ten kilometers away. If you don't like his private style, I believe you will not consider this hotel. The hotel itself is no problem, it should be that the platform information of the trip is wrong, the picture does not match, disappointed.
GGuest UserAll the staff except for the front desk staff were foreigners, but they all spoke excellent Japanese and provided friendly and polite service.
After dinner, I went to the bath. The hot water in the washing area gradually cooled down as I used it, and eventually stopped flowing altogether, so I quickly warmed up in the bathtub. There was no hot water for rinsing off when I got out, which made me quite cold.
In the washing area, another guest asked me, ”There's no hot water, is there? The bath in my room doesn't have hot water either, and when I contacted the front desk, they told me to use the public bath...” So, I wonder if it's a problem with the facilities? Incidentally, my husband, who bathed before dinner, said the men's bath was fine.
