Hotel berhampiran Nakanogō Railway Station, Toba

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.

貸切風呂を含め一晩中入れる七湯(男女あるから可能は六湯か)「七湯の湯」が魅力でまた宿泊する。 「みえ得」に続く旅行支援キャンペーンが始まったばかり。宿泊料20%割引と２千円クーポンが付く。紙と電子の２種類あったり取扱店が分かりにくかったりする。スマホが苦手で紙を選択したら伊勢インター横のイオンで買い物することになった。 ホテル10階「夢物語」からはこの日まで連続して富士山が見えたらしい。夏至のわずかな間には近くの夫婦岩の間から富士山に昇るダイヤモンド富士が拝めるらしい。 ホテル１階「さらさ廣」は、今回朝食で初めて入った。 何回目かの宿泊だが、二見は興玉神社参拝の長い歴史を経て栄枯盛衰が激しい。ここも経営の変遷を経てきているらしいが、結果うまくいっているらしい。ちょうどよい距離にあるからまた来ようと思った。 引き出しに聖書や経典が置いてあったりするが、ここは竹田恒泰解説の「古事記」であった。

Ini adalah penginapan tanpa makan. Di hotel perniagaan, terdapat ramai lelaki, tetapi tempat mandi awam khusus untuk lelaki. Namun, terdapat yukata dan garam mandian sebagai kemudahan kemudahan, jadi saya mengubat kepenatan saya di UB di bilik tetamu. Saya boleh membawa kopi dan teh segera ke dalam bilik dengan bebas.

Stayed 2 nights as a family vacation in July 2023. I was attracted by the water park and onsens photos on the agoda website. The hotel description AND the amenities list also included the water park. BUT it's not open until after mid July. We felt duped. We were given a beautiful room that consists of two beds and two futons. There were a sitting area and a Japanese bathroom. I have no complaints except the hotel notebook is dusty and there's a dead bug in the stationery tray. Maybe they don't clean it - like ever? After covid one would expect a hotel would pay more attention to cleaning... The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet both had good spreads. We liked wagyu beef and the little hotpot at dinner. There are 3 onsen locations. They are all different. There are massage machines as well. We got quite busy. Although they were very polite and eager to help, almost no one spoke English at the hotel. The instructions and hotel map were written in Japanese only. We did have fun guessing and gesturing. Surprisingly my kids liked the vending machines the most. They venture out by themselves to get ramen,  milk, ice cream, etc. as their little treasure hunt every night.

ちょうどGW前に伊勢神宮参拝のときにリフレッシュを兼ねて宿泊させていただきました。 フロントでのチェックイン後に伊勢茶とチーズケーキのおもてなしをしていただきましたが、このチーズケーキがすごく美味しかった。 部屋は和モダン。窓から海が見えて眺めは抜群です。素敵なお部屋でした。 夕食は白石というレストランの個室で和食のコース(伊勢海老・鮑付き)でしたが、ボリューム的にもちょうど良く、すべてが美味しかったです。またこの夕食時に担当していただいた男性スタッフの方のご対応がすごく良くて、満足な時間を過ごすことができました。 また朝食も和食ですが、すごく美味しくてゆっくりいただけました。 温泉大浴場も綺麗で良かったです。 ホテルのスタッフの方々(男性スタッフ、女性スタッフの方々ともに)の接客は抜群だと思います。 また伊勢神宮参拝のときには宿泊させていただきたいと思います。

Remarkable stay. The hotel is a bit older but has incedible grandeur. Staff extremely friendly and helpful, though communication in English is not always easy. Pools are not in best shape. The Onsen on the other hand is fantastic, absolutely splendid, and so are the rooms, with fantastic sea view. We had futon beds. Breakfast traditional Japanese style, and a special thanks to Chris, who guided us through the process. Hotel shuttle bus runs on fixed schedule to the centre of town, and taxis are not readily available. The hotel staff was so friendly to pick us up when we were stuck in town one evening, many thanks for this and the unforgettable stay.

伊勢站步行到酒店7-8分鐘。比較像個快捷酒店，走廊都不是封閉的。酒店房間不大，但是能住四個人，照片鋪完床才想起來拍攝。非常乾淨，浴室還算大吧。比較適合住一晚就趕路的。酒店樓下有兩個神社。酒店去車站路上有個松板牛烤肉，還不錯。不遠就是全家和伊勢商業街。不算豪華，但是房間五臟俱全，也非常便利。

お伊勢参りのために利用しました。 駅近で便利そうでした。私が着いた時間が夜21時近くでしたので、あまり人もなく飲食店もあまり見つけられるませんでした。 ビジネスホテルではありますが、お風呂も人工温泉ではありますがよかったです。 朝食は伊勢うどんがあったりオムレツを焼いてくれたりして美味しかったです。 隣の部屋の目覚ましが聞こえたりは仕方ないかと思いますが、日曜で宿泊客が少ないかと思うので、隣の一部屋空けるなりの配慮があるといいと思いました。

3月8日に宿泊しました。7階757号室です。毎年伊勢参りに行くのですが、その際にいつも宿泊施設選定に困っていました。「いまいちだったね～」とか「酷かったね～」という感想しか出ない宿が多かったからです。特に前年の宿（前年度投稿参照）はとんでもない宿でした。そのとんでもない宿よりトリップアドバイザー上でのランキングが下である戸田家さん･･････こういうこともあり、最初は期待していなかったのですが、今回の宿泊でその自分の考えを訂正させられました。結論から言えば「素晴らしい宿」です。私の評価の基準は「人（の動き）」です。そこで働いていらっしゃる方の立ち居振る舞いが良ければ、宿は必然的に内的にも外的にも良くなります。こちらの宿のスタッフの方々は本当に素晴らしかったです。したがってよく見ると、建物や部屋の造りは古くても、手入れが行き届いているのがよく分かります。またスタッフの皆さんの努力で古さを魅力に変えようという努力の跡も見受けられます。もちろん新しいことを取り入れてカスタマーを喜ばせようという点もあります。特に食事場所での御料理の提供の仕方や料理内容にそれが見受けられました。あえて、それでもマイナス点を指摘すれば、温泉へのアクセス路に風情がない点と露天風呂の足場が本当に滑りやすいので、特に高齢者は気を付けないと危ないと感じた点です。いずれにせよ、私の毎年の伊勢詣での宿泊経験から言えば、戸田家さんは堂々1位です。来年も宿泊予定です。

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!
