The location is great, near the station.However, the overall facilities are old, and it feels like a ryokan from the Showa era that continues to this day. Maintenance seems to be minimal.I don't know about the food since I didn't use it, but it was a shame because the location is good.

Although the location is right next to Toba Station and perfect for using public transportation, the parking lot is small and difficult to use if you have a private car. The building was old and the rooms were reasonably equipped. There is a large communal bath and a unit bath in the room. I stayed the night before visiting Ise and left early in the morning, so I used it as a pass. There are several famous local restaurants nearby, so dinner is not a problem.

Although the facilities are old, I made a reservation after reading reviews that the food was delicious.The dinner I was expecting contained bugs. (2 on my husband's plate, 1 on my plate)I called the front desk and they said they would bring me a new one, but I didn't feel like eating it at all so I just gave it up.I ate the other dishes that did not contain insects, checking every bite to make sure there were no insects in them, so the food did not taste good at all, so I was sorry to leave it behind.Honestly, I would have liked to have had my meal refunded, stayed overnight without meals, and eaten at a nearby restaurant. . Eating a meal while traveling is something I look forward to, but it also has more weight than a regular meal, so it makes me feel sadder and more disappointed. .The next day, as an apology, I received some sweets from the souvenir shop, but I personally don't think that's enough. I feel that.The front desk staff communicates politely, but everything else is the worst.The equipment is old, and the hot springs are covered in dust, as everyone has written. There were a lot of spiders in the bathroom in the building.Unfortunately, I will not be staying again.

When I arrived at the inn, I was surprised at how old it was as there was only room for a few cars in the parking lot, but the service and food were very good.I think the basket in the changing room in the bath is old, but it's a comfortable bath with hot and lukewarm water. Even my daughter with atopic dermatitis didn't feel itchy and the hot water was nice. Although I didn't use it, there was a rinse-in shampoo and body soap.The food and the Nakai's attentiveness are wonderful.I had asked for a meal for one adult and an infant who was sleeping with the child, but the meal was large, and although the rice was prepared in a bowl, there was about 3 cups of rice, so I had to reduce the breakfast. I did. The children's dinner is a slightly more luxurious children's lunch, and the breakfast for the adults is almost the same except for side dishes, sausages, and meatballs. I think it's okay for children to go without meals if they don't have a lot to eat. It's true that if you have children, it might be too early to stop eating, but I felt like my stomach was about to burst, so I was satisfied.When I asked Mr. Nakai about sightseeing, he was very kind and gave me easy-to-understand information, and it was a warm, gentle and relaxing trip.Although the rooms and equipment are old, the bedding is clean and comfortable, and above all, the people are kind and the food is delicious.I would definitely like to stay here again the next time I go to Mie.

The exterior looked old, but the room wasn't. I think it would be better to eat before the restaurant closes early at night. Kappa sushi is nearby.

This is the good old Showa era. The atmosphere in the lobby brought back the excitement of family trips when I was young. We are aware that the equipment is old. It doesn't matter if the refrigerator door handle is broken.It's in a great location, close to the station, close to seafood restaurants, and everything within walking distance.The view of Toba Bay from the window of the room is good, and the Kintetsu Line is right below, so there is a lot of lively traffic on a variety of Kintetsu trains.Meals were served in the room without interference from third parties, and the contents and quantity were more than I expected, including an abundance of luxurious seafood.It was a stress-free and comfortable stay, with good service from the employees.
