Outstanding
GGuest UserI have two feelings about this stay.
1. The photo posted by this website was a lie - the room was very different to the reality. For a start there was no in room onsen and that had been a major factor in me making this booking. I was really disappointed on arrival.
2. However it has to be said the staff are fabulous, the food excellent and everything about the place shows a tremendous attention to detail. After a lovely long soak in the Onsen available to guests and a fabulous dinner my mood was quite recovered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for someone looking for a luxurious retreat and plan to return myself.
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.
AAnonymous UserThis 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.
GGuest UserI made a reservation the day before because there was a vacancy at the inn.
I was nervous, but
the room was very comfortable.
I was happy that there was unlimited coffee.
The hot spring was better than I expected, and the shampoo, lotion, etc. were from Mikimoto, which was great. The juice after the bath was very tasty.
They had various events, including roasted marshmallows, so I think it would be fun to spend some time relaxing at the facilities.
I would like to try the head spa and facial.
I would like to come again next time, bringing my grandchildren and children.
The sunrise from the nearby observation deck was also beautiful in the morning.
GGuest UserThe hotel staff's service from check-in to check-out was excellent.
The food was neither particularly good nor bad, perhaps because I had too high expectations.
The ingredients were high-quality, but the dishes themselves were average.
The drinks were quite expensive.
Both soft drinks and alcoholic beverages cost around 1000 yen per glass.
The room and the hot springs were fantastic.
GGuest UserI think it was better than it was written in the word of mouth.
I took my pet, so I stayed here where my pet could stay with me.
There was no particular smell, and I think the dog and we were able to slow down very much.
The dinner was rich in quantity and number of items and was very satisfied.
I wanted to come again if I had the opportunity.
Thank you.
GGuest UserThe bath, where the scent of cypress filled the building, was amazing.
The food was delicious and there was a wide variety of options.
We were able to go fishing before dinner and breakfast, and my husband was very satisfied as he caught rockfish, pufferfish, and horse mackerel.
This is an inn we would definitely like to visit again.
GGuest UserThe check-in was at night, so the road just in front of the hotel was a little scary, but it was a road that was not scary at all when I went to the bright time the next morning.
It was easy to go because the public bath was right after getting off the elevator.
This time I stayed without meals, but next time I wanted to stay with meals.
YYuantianmiaoziFamily 4 There aren't many inns where people can stay in one room, but she prepared my mother's cot, and the room was made into a large room with 2 room. Thank you very much. The facility itself is certainly old. However, since it is a hotel with sufficient ingenuity and service to spend the room comfortably, I think it is a comfortable accommodation. There is no big problem with taking parents who are old and have difficulty walking. Mr. Nakai? However, it was a hotel with a warm impression that served me hard.
