As it is an ocean view hotel, it is horizontally long, with 38 rooms on each floor, and if you stay in a room near the edge, the walking distance is too long.You have to walk about 250 meters to the public bath and about 100 meters to the dining hall, but the elevator is broken, and if you take the stairs to the first floor, you will arrive in the middle of the dining hall, which is the complete opposite of the automatic check-out machine at the front desk and lounge service. It felt like an old hotel.Well, it wasn't too bad if I took a walk to refresh my mind and body while admiring the art and scenery inside and outside the museum.The rooms are decent, the hot springs are decent, the carbonara is delicious for some reason, and the only impression I get is that you can drink as much cold sake and whiskey as you like.

The dinner buffet is average with nothing particularly unusual, but since it's all-inclusive, I think it's great for alcohol lovers.The bath isn't anything special either...but the view is amazing.The view from the room is also great.There are sofas all over the hotel, giving it a resort feel.

Last year, my husband and I stayed at Taoya Shima for one night, when we thought we'd never go to Toba again because we've been to many places and the hotels are all old and smell like cigarettes and nicotine. It was so good that I ordered it again for 2 nights and 3 days from 9/14. After all, you can't go wrong! ️Amazing. Full marks for the smiles, service, and thoughtfulness of the employees.Although the buffet menu is the same in the morning and evening, I never get tired of it❗️The greetings from the people cleaning the rooms are also perfect. The countermeasures against the coronavirus are perfect, so you can use it with peace of mind. I will go there for the third time. Please do your best.

I used it the night before going to Toba Aquarium.The sea was clearly visible from every location and the scenery was great.Alcohol and sweets were served in the lobby at check-in.The bath was normal, and the open-air bath seemed a little small.The dinner and breakfast buffets don't have any distinctive ingredients, and only come with unlimited alcohol. The green curry I chose at the end was delicious and had lots of ingredients.The room had a sofa bed, but it was spacious and comfortable, and the air conditioner was installed in the room.The accommodation rate is quite good, but if you have too high expectations, you may be disappointed.In particular, I would like to see a little more effort at the buffet.

All-inclusive drink typesI would like to see more of this.The hours available for use are short and there are some inns that are open 24 hours a day, so this is something to consider.I think so. There are also fewer types of snacks...The buffet isThe quality was high and it was very delicious♪̊̈♪̆̈ Especially the squid ink pasta and carbonara.It was exquisite 🤤

The building was long, and it was a long way from the Japanese-Western style room at the end to the public bath.I ended up drinking too much at the all-inclusive (lol)Comparing craft beers from Mie prefecture left me with a bloated stomach (lol)

I often use Oedo Onsen Monogatari, but this was my first time using TAOYA.All-inclusive, you can take beer, soft drinks, and snacks to your room.The free ramen at night was the best!I think it would be nice to take a walk inside and outside the hotel.There is an art museum, a footbath, and you can enjoy the ocean right in front of you like a private beach.

The scenery is amazing.There is also a hot spring, which you can enjoy at Inkuru.I think this is a perfect hotel for adults to relax and spend some time in the coming months, unlike in the summer.
