This is a traditional, large-scale hot spring ryokan.
I've been to many hot spring ryokans, and most of them felt deserted with few staff and many foreign guests. However, this ryokan had plenty of staff, and they were very attentive with both greetings and farewells.
The baths were spacious, and the changing rooms were cleaned frequently. The unlimited use of bath towels was a fantastic service for us, as we love to soak multiple times. The view from our room, with the calm sea and beautiful sunset, was absolutely stunning. The meal service system was new to us and a bit confusing at first, but it turned out to be very convenient for our family, as we all eat different amounts.
Finally, I must mention that we stayed here about 15 years ago when my late father was battling an illness. Being able to come back with my now-grown children and reminisce about those memories was truly special. The ryokan is just as wonderful now as it was then.
Thank you for everything.
The ryokan is very large and even has a bowling alley, which our children thoroughly enjoyed.
We visited during Obon Festival, so hotels across Japan were pricier than usual. This hotel was perfectly situated close to Nagashima Spa Land, and getting there was easy with a direct bus from Kuwana. They offer complimentary coffee and snacks, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the entire place is spotlessly clean. A huge bonus, especially since we were traveling with two kids, was the availability of a triple room – something quite rare to find in Japan, especially during peak season.
It's a very clean hotel with a beautiful view. Amenities are provided and we were able to have breakfast in our room, which was a very happy experience. I will definitely stay here again.
I am a girl and I took the bus from Nagoya with my child. Except that it took 7 or 8 minutes to get to the hotel by taking a detour according to Google Maps because I was not familiar with the road when I got off the bus (because I brought a 28-inch + 15-inch suitcase, there were many ups and downs along the way, and it was still quite dangerous and laborious to walk on the road. I suggest that the business put up a guide sign near the get-off point, so that it is safer and faster to take the small road to the hotel), everything else was perfect: the room was super big! The sleep was very comfortable! The hotel is very close to the ski area (the bus station is actually here). The waiter introduced us to a safe and fast route (less than 3 minutes). In addition, the hotel also provides cable car tickets for the ski resort, which is very considerate. I will bring my child here next time!
Upon arriving at Toba Station a little past 6 PM, we couldn't locate the hotel shuttle bus as advised by the guide. Decided to call the hotel just to try our luck, and to our surprise, they immediately dispatched a private car to pick us up! Service was absolutely impeccable! 💯
The hotel's absolute standout feature has to be its hot springs! ♨️ Especially the unique Pearl Onsen – the only one in Japan infused with Mikimoto pearl powder. My skin felt incredibly soft and glowed after soaking. (A glass of milk after the onsen is a must – incredibly refreshing! *Personally, I prefer the fruit-flavored one.)
Room Experience: We booked the most basic Japanese-style room (washitsu) and truly enjoyed the authentic experience of sleeping on traditional tatami mats.
Upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to find a welcome cheesecake 🍰 waiting for us in the fridge – absolutely delicious!
All toiletries were exclusively Mikimoto branded, adding a definite touch of luxury and quality. (We even bought a set from the hotel shop before leaving – eligible for tax-free shopping!)
🥣 Breakfast was a classic Japanese set meal, served individually with no menu choices. The highlight, however, was the dining environment – private rooms! *Be bold and request a window-side private room.
❤️ Enjoying a refined breakfast in such a private setting, while gazing at the serene ocean view outside, was an incredibly soothing and delightful experience.
The hotel is very clean and conveniently located, just a 2-3 minute walk from the Kintetsu station. The staff are very friendly. There is no elevator; if you have luggage, you'll need to carry it up to the second floor yourself. The stairs are short but the space is narrow. There are two common areas where you can eat. Each bed has a curtain, which can be closed to create a private space, so privacy isn't an issue.
The hotel is well maintained. The room is probably the largest I've stayed in Japan. You can see the beautiful view of Ago Bay when you enter the room. The staff are very friendly and speak good English. At the same time, the hotel has a car to pick up to the other main building at any time. The sky garden has a check-in point for the 2016 G7 Summit, and the scenery is no less beautiful than the view from the Yokoyama Observatory. The breakfast is rich, with Western buffet and Japanese set meals to choose from, and the taste is very good. There is a scheduled shuttle bus from Kashikojima Station to the hotel. If you are late, you can also call the hotel to pick you up at the station. The service is really considerate. It is difficult to find a restaurant open after 5 o'clock near Kashikojima Station. It is recommended to make a reservation for dinner at the hotel. I will stay here again if I have the chance~
The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to and from Toba Station every hour and half hour, though the last one departs at 6:00 PM. The Harbor rooms offer beautiful sunrise views every morning, and the hot spring, with its unique pearl powder, is quite special.
What is better near the station. The room is clean and the size is appropriate that does not feel small. The bed is hard. The downside was that the towels were thin and tactical, and it was cold even if I turned on the air conditioner.
Very Good

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.
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.

GGuest UserThe location is great! The hotel staff were foreigners, and they were very helpful. The room was comfortable with tatami mats, and they even prepared dessert, which I really enjoyed. The welcome drink was also great! I was also happy to be able to drink sake and wine. The buffet included steamed oysters, spiny lobster, and Matsusaka beef, and I had a very fulfilling time. I'd love to go again.
