The view is great.
It was great that there was all-you-can-drink alcohol in the lounge.
The hot springs were clean and there was a sauna, and they also provided free ice cream, which was great.
I think it would be even better if they could increase the number of places to get ice cream when it's busy (it's self-service, so there was a line).
This hotel is conveniently located directly across from Ise Station, visible as soon as you exit. Its prime location makes getting around by public transport incredibly easy for sightseeing. I stayed in the main building, where the front desk is on the second floor. It's a small space with a charming, old-school Japanese inn vibe. The room itself wasn't large, but that wasn't an issue since I was out exploring all day and only returned to sleep. The public bath is also on the second floor, perfect for relaxing after a full day of activities. Don't forget to grab a complimentary popsicle from outside the bath afterward! There are several dining options both downstairs and in the surrounding area, which should cover most needs. On check-out day, if you need to store your luggage, there are self-service lockers on the second floor where you can leave it and pick it up later after your excursions.
I wanted a hotel with an ocean view, so I made a reservation despite my misgivings, even though the reviews weren't that good. Many of the hotels in Ise-Shima and Toba are old and date back to the early Showa period, and newer hotels are quite expensive.
This hotel is in a great location, and although it is old, it has been properly renovated, so it isn't too rundown, and my concerns were resolved. The tatami mats were nice and comfortable.
It was a relief to be able to stay at this price, even though it is the largest facility in the area and a hotel with an ocean view.
The hotel's souvenir shop is open late and has a wide selection, so it was really helpful to be able to buy souvenirs that I thought I wouldn't be able to buy at the hotel.
I hope you continue to be a great hotel while making up for the aging.
I will visit again. Thank you very much.
This is the second time I have stayed at VISON since the end of last year. Last year we stayed at HATAGO, but HONZO-SPA was very good and they have a new sauna, so we used the HOTEL on this trip. There is a bathroom on the terrace of the room, but we did not plan to use it. It gives you some privacy, but personally I would prefer a lower tree than the terrace to have a view. The hotel breakfast buffet was good enough and the overall impression was very good.
I didn't expect to be able to book such an amazing hotel in this rural area at this price. The hotel is OK, but the pillows are a bit high. The room size is also good. The service is also good. The only bad thing is that the hotel parking space is too limited. The lobby is on the third floor, don't worry, it will park in the lobby by itself after entering the elevator. The grilled bird on the second floor is delicious. I recommend trying it.
This is an established, somewhat older hotel (not ancient). It's quite large, and you can still see remnants of its 80s and 90s glory days, like the bowling alley. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with a lovely view. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful. The hotel also has its own hot spring bathhouse, with indoor, outdoor, and garden-style rotenburo options. It's very close to Kashikojima Station, and there's a shuttle bus service available. Nearby, there's a small fishing village and harbor you can explore, and even take a boat ride. This is a great place to relax, unwind, and get closer to nature. Plus, it's easily accessible by direct train from Nagoya and Osaka.
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.
I made a reservation to go to the Tsu Fireworks Festival.
It was about a 20-minute walk to the fireworks venue,
so it was very convenient!!
It's also nice that there are four types of private baths so you can relax in them.
I'd love to stay here again when I come to Tsu!!
We stayed at ocean view the staff was absolutely amazing.We had japanese course for dinner absolutely great the lobster and abalone steaks were excellent and breakfast too..The bad side is the club lounge not available and the guest room toilet was old and not totally clean there is hair on the floor disappointing 🙁
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.
Great

NneotokyojapanThis is the second time I have stayed at VISON since the end of last year.

KKennyDuring my recent stay at Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu, I had a mixed experience, resulting in an overall rating of 3 out of 5. While the hotel was generally acceptable, there were some notable drawbacks.
One major issue I encountered was the cleanliness of the rooms. I was disappointed to find a significant number of insects on the walls, which was quite unpleasant and off-putting. As a result, I had to deduct points and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Additionally, compared to my previous stay at another Hotel R9 location, the price at Yard Tsu was slightly higher. However, it was still within an acceptable range considering the overall quality of the hotel.
Despite the drawbacks, I must mention that the hotel's staff were courteous and attentive, providing decent service throughout my stay.
In conclusion, while Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu has some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, its reasonable price and satisfactory service make it an acceptable choice for a short stay. However, I would recommend management to address the cleanliness issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.
NNaoIt was good to have a large room with an ocean view and a relaxing room.
However, it was very conspicuous that the manners of the public bath users were too bad. Even though there is a ban on the use of tattoos at the entrance, a child who has a tattoos is used, a child who starts a swimming tournament at a hot spring, and a mother who doesn't pay attention to it. We do not recommend using the hot springs around 21:00 after meals. Since there is no key in the shoe locker, I was in trouble because there was no slippers in the building where I put them when I returned.
I felt that I would like you to improve the tattoo notes, such as locking the shoe locker.
GGuest UserWe used it to go to golf. The hotel welcome service was good with the service of peel and hot coffee. However, the breakfast buffet cooking menu is poor.
SSmilexiaojiebuaipashanMie Prefecture is a relatively remote and rural place, but Toba, Ise and Shima are still worth visiting.
Todaya Hotel exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just an ordinary local Japanese-style hotel, but it turned out to be very large, with two buildings, a large public bath, an open-air bath, and several free private baths for families. There are quite a few medals at the front desk.
The room size is not large among Japanese-style rooms, but it is more spacious than ordinary modern rooms. Western-style beds are also more comfortable. The dinner was quite rich, with both Japanese and Western flavors, and the freshly roasted beef was delicious. Breakfast is on the top floor of the South Building, facing the sea, with a great view. There are also many dining options.
Mikimoto Pearl Island and Toba Aquarium are nearby.
When you check in, you will see the last name or first name of each room occupant on the welcome board at the hotel entrance. It is quite interesting to find your own name.
AAnonymous UserRoom was spacious enough for 3 adults (the room is meant for 4 adults). Bathroom is surprisingly spacious and the toilet is separated. Water pressure is good too. It's more like a mini studio apartment, there's a mini bar, a kitchen sink and microwave as well. There's a laundry area in the hotel but we didn't check that out. Parking space is available for those that are driving.
Location wise, it's quiet and about 10 mins walk from Iseshi station. There's a Lawson convenience store just 2 mins walk away.
To take note:
1. The bedsheets had some stain. It's probably washed but the stain was still there.
2. The window behind the bed has no curtain and the sun rises pretty early. So it's super bright, however they do provide eye mask for you.
3. There's no luggage storage or luggage delivery services available.
4. No breakfast option and the town has limited options.
All in all, was a good stay. Would recommend.
GGuest UserAn old style western hotel but in general clean. The staff very nice and helpful. I asked them to help phone a restaurant make booking. I didn't realize the restaurant did not open yet. The hotel staff tried calling the restaurant a few times but no one answered. Finally, the hotel staff sent the restaurant a message. I didn't request the hotel staff to do so but they did it on their own. Without the hotel message to the restaurant, we would not be able to have a nice osyter buffet. Thanks them very much. If I have to complain, I should say they have to clean the bath room more thoroughly. The toilet and bath room inside the room were just totally renovated a few years but there were already black stains and mould on the wall near the bath tub. Also, there's dust on the hand rail in the toilet.
KKouaizhilouwailouThe hotel is very clean, and although the rooms are small, they are well-arranged. There's a supermarket next door. Breakfast starts quite early, but the variety isn't extensive. It's very close to the station and offers great value for money. Recommended!
