The staff at Bali Resort Saya went above and beyond to help us do several things in Toba that we couldn’t have done ourselves. Perhaps the most helpful staff of any hotel I’ve stayed in. They also have free snacks and drinks (including alcohol) every day. The rooms and entire hotel has a Balinese theme with carvings and gamelan music in the background- very serene. The views from the rooms are a sweeping panorama overlooking Toba Harbor. The sunsets and early morning were especially spectacular. Toba is pretty far off the beaten path for English-speaking tourists, so you’ll need Google translate to get around, but the vibe of the town is very laid back. Reminds me of a Japanese Bar Harbor, Maine. Amazing seafood too!

I really like this place. The female owner has an inquisitive mind, a warm personality, and a kind heart. Her English is good enough to communicate and ask for help. The sauna and the private onsen in the room are top-notch. I did not check the public onsen with natural hot spring, but heard it's amazing too. I booked the 5th floor with an ocean view, and the private onsen experience during starry night and the set rise were indeed amazing! The hotel itself is located in a remote little cute fish town called osatsucho, where you can find fishmen and women harvesting and selling the Ise lobsters in the morning by the port. It was a very unique and interesting experience to stay in that little town for two days during the winter when it was not crowded at all. The nearest convenience store is 10 + miles away. It was a very natural, grounding, even retreat-like experience to me, and it was drastically different from my experience in Tokyo, Nayoga, or Osaka. I did spot a few demolished houses with broken windows in the town, not sure if it's because of COVID or during the winter when there were fewer tourists. The big plus is the Shinmei shrine next door to the hotel, which is a very calming and spiritual place to visit and stay for a bit too.

We stayed here after visiting Ise Jingu. Really enjoyed the open air onsen, and the spacious tatami room. Toba is a VERY small town and very quiet with not much to do. Ate some great seafood at a local restaurant. Only stayed in Toba one night before taking the ferry and driving back to Tokyo.

Toba itself is nothing much - which makes it a great place to relax - but the view from our hotel over the bay was wonderful. We've stayed twice in hotels with a sea view and it's very relaxing.
If you like aquariums, the one in Toba is supposed to be very good, but we didn't go. However, we've been twice to Mikimoto Pearl Island, which well worth visiting if you are interested in the history of cultured pearls. There's a demonstration of pearl diving and an interesting museum.
The Ise Grand Shrine is not far by train and worth visiting once.
Toba is great for seafood and especially Ise Ebi (Japanese spiny lobster) which is served in many different ways.

The time I spent in Toba was too short to cover every recommended place. However, if you have or rent a car, I would like to recommend you to go to Toba Observatory (鳥羽展望台), which takes only 20 mins by driving from the central Toba. This observatory allows you to see the breathtaking panoramic view of the oceanic coast of Ise-Shima National Park, and probably a view of the famous Mt. Fuji in distance (if the weather allows). Along the way to this observatory, you will pass the Onoura bay (生浦湾), where the largest oyster industry is located. You can taste the freshest oysters at any restaurant along the pearl road (there are even the tabehoudai, 食べ放題, or buffet courses offered in some restaurant).

To reach Toba, we traveled by Shimakazi (luxuary) train from Osaka. This is the area to see Mikimoto Pearl Island, the Mikimoto museum (which is very interesting) and especially the Ama divers ( the women that free-dive for shell fish and pearls).
The hotel had a scheduled pick-up shuttle from the train station and the shuttle took us back into town. It runs on a fixed schedule. We missed the last one, but with a call, they came to get us. There is boat cruise which takes you around the area. There is a stop light very near the boat dock and If you walk straight across the road you'll be on a small street that has both a local style and an Italian restaurant. We went (very) local style but had a Japanese friend to translate. Of course, pointing to the menu pictures always works and the tempura was delicious. The Italian restaurant looked quaint and inviting.

We really really love the ocean view,the sunset and sunrise,though its far from the city or station its worth,the foods are great,the public bath is clean but the rotenburo outside is not that good because of green insects in the water.
Thank you to Kiku-san, her mother and all the staff at Kaigetsu for a very memorable stay. The customer service was top notch. All the meals were delicious and beautifully presented. We especially liked the dining rooms and its ambiance. Our kaiseki dinner was the best that we’ve had in Japan and I will definitely recommend it. Kiku-san even shared special home made umeshu with freshly picked cherry blossoms on top, to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Thank you for going the extra mile.
To start off, if you arrive at Toba Train Station between 1430-1800, they provide free shuttle service to the hotel, which otherwise would be a 20 minute walk. Look for their name beside their car. The staff were friendly to a fault and even if they can't keep up with English, they'd do anything to help you. The place is old, that's what you get for looking for an onsen ryokan but it's well maintained and the cuisine offered was faultless.
The staff were very kind and knowledgeable. I wanted to go to the Yokohama Observatory (which is expensive and hard to reach by public transpo), but they offered a shuttle ride to a train station, and also told me about Shima City tourism’s taxi promo. Very helpful!
Other than that, the room was bigger than expected. It had a small Japanese garden, which was a good touch. They also had a lot of fun facilities in the lobby.
Terrific location with uninterrupted view of the bay.
Dining room was closed but hotel provided pre-packaged breakfast for us to enjoy in our room.
With proof of COVID vaccinations and I.D.s, we qualified for 40-percent discount off the standard room rate.
We also received JPY6,000.- in coupons for use at various attractions in Toba city.
Downstairs one minute walk is lawson, near the toba station as well.
Kindly counter staff.
The room is really clean worth for the money.
After open the window will feeling the fresh natural air from outside.
Like stay at my grandma's place. Makes me feel peace,warm and comfort. A good rest at this hotel.
A very beautiful Japanese-style inn with an amazing view of the mountains and ocean. The onsen is an absolute delight, especiallywith the nature view. Staff is very friendly and treat you with so much respect, driving you up and down the mountain and providing a free iced drink when you go out.
All inclusive and able to wear supplied lounge wear to restaurant and throughout facility. We felt like we were having a true japanese holiday as the locals do.....they also supplied warm coats for walks outside. Fabulous views over the sea. Google translate helped with communication.
I’ve been here twice. Menu is good , and I upgraded to tuna bowl for the dinner, a lot of fresh tuna. There is shopping mall nearby good for purchasing souvenirs like real pearl . The hotel is walking distance to train station. Everything is good !!
excellent service, beautiful and spacious room., shuttle bus from and to Toba station
The cuisine is very refined and delicious ,
The outsoor onsen water is awesome, it leaves golden glitters on your skin
Very close to Mikimoto pearl island
Beautiful views and kind staff. We only stayed for one night with dinner and breakfast included. I wish we could have stayed longer. Kamenoi Hotel will be my at the top of my list next time we visit Ise and Toba.
The male staff is nice and be able to communicate in English quite well. Not many car park in front of the hotel. The elevators are crowned during the dining and checking out time.
The food and drink is good.
The hotel service was amazing. The manager was particularly good to us. Very kind man. We had a relaxing and wonderful stay. I really recommend this hotel it has a beautiful ocean view and delicious breakfast.
Interesting atmosphere of an old Japanese house. It had spooky atmosphere, I was expecting some ghosts to come in the middle of the night to look if I have some sushi inside my bag. Or soul.
What you see is what you get: Cheap roadside hotel. About 5-10 minute walk from the town. Great to have Lawson next door! Very basic onsen. Basic, small room. The bed was quite comfortable.
