This was my first stay at Toba International Hotel in two years, and I stayed in a Harbor View room for the first time. It was a comfortable, relaxing space where I could truly unwind. The staff’s attentiveness and service were excellent, and I had a very satisfying stay. Thank you very much. Dinner at Mondomisaki was also wonderful—the steamed spiny lobster dish, the abalone shabu-shabu, and even the appetizer jelly were all deeply flavorful and delicious. I would love to visit Toba International Hotel again next year as well. Thank you in advance.

This was my first stay, and the Room was spacious and very relaxing. The in-room bath and open-air bath were wonderful and felt amazing. Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, and I was full and satisfied—it was delicious. I’d love to visit again.

In recent years, I have stayed here every time I visit Ise. I always look forward to Teppanyaki Seiseki. While enjoying pleasant conversation, we were able to savor outstanding ingredients prepared with superb skill—delicious abalone, spiny lobster, and Wagyu beef in abundance. We were extremely satisfied. This is a wonderful inn with attentive and thoughtful staff. The Aurora Bath is also excellent. I would definitely like to stay here again.

The room had a wonderful view and a calm, relaxing atmosphere, making our stay feel truly luxurious. We booked breakfast only, and the buffet-style French toast was absolutely delicious!

Toba Grand Hotel To the General Manager and all staff, Once again, thank you very much for providing such a high-quality, safe, and consistently wonderful stay, along with truly blissful hospitality. The thoughtfully prepared cuisine was astonishingly delicious, and my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful trip that left us genuinely satisfied. Each time we experienced your warm smiles and refined service, we felt deeply happy and thought, “We’re so glad we chose to stay here.” I was truly moved by what can only be described as a “happiness-producing Hotel” that brings smiles to guest after guest. What makes your Hotel so exceptional is your challenging spirit—never settling for the current appeal, but always striving to create new moments of inspiration. As a devoted fan of Toba Grand Hotel—and as “Donguri Captain”—please allow me to share a few ideas with heartfelt appreciation: 1) Extend lounge hours (until 11:00 p.m.) Spending time in that sophisticated lounge is truly special. If guests could enjoy complimentary drinks until 11:00 p.m., the evening would become an even more memorable experience. 2) Revitalize the retro game arcade & festival-style corner If an energetic “festival corner” were added to that nostalgic and welcoming game arcade area, it would surely become a signature spot where both adults and children—across generations—could have an amazing time together! 3) Seasonal limited-time “all-you-can-eat fruit” buffet feature For example, “all-you-can-eat strawberries” in early spring or “all-you-can-eat melon” in summer. Having seasonal highlight events at the buffet would help attract repeat guests throughout the year and generate even more buzz—I’m confident it would be a great success. Of course, I fully understand that your staff’s working environment and operational considerations must come first. With that in mind, I would be grateful if you might keep these ideas in mind simply as one fan’s dream of “how wonderful it would be if this became possible.” With Toba Grand Hotel’s potential—and the passion of your entire team—I truly believe you will continue to be the region’s undisputed number-one Hotel. Going forward as well, let us guests join hands with you—the General Manager—and all staff members to make this wonderful Hotel shine even brighter together.

Whenever I visit Mie Prefecture, I always choose Todaya for my Accommodation. The Room is clean, and the Onsen is wonderfully relaxing. The meals are so plentiful and high-quality that I can’t eat another bite! Above all, the staff’s attentiveness and hospitality are perfect. I’ll be staying again next year. I’m already looking forward to it.

The room was spacious, and we were able to relax comfortably. Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy so we couldn’t see a beautiful sunrise (though we did catch a little of the morning glow). It was wonderful to take our time, gaze at the ocean view from the window, and wait for the sun to rise. The bathroom was also spacious, and the jet bath felt great. Breakfast was Japanese-style and absolutely delicious. My husband seemed very satisfied as well and was delighted. We would love to visit again if we have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

This year, at my wife’s invitation, I stayed here for a birthday trip for my son and myself. Compared with a year ago, there were more international staff members, but I could really feel how hard everyone was working. This year again we chose the [Premium] Chef’s Selection featuring spiny lobster, abalone, and Matsusaka beef. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh and delicious—we were very satisfied—and the other dishes were also creative and excellent. The Room was the Shiracho-kan Japanese-Western style room; it was easy to use, well cleaned, and very comfortable. The Onsen temperature suited my preference perfectly, and since it was Friday there seemed to be fewer guests, so I was able to enjoy it almost all to myself, which felt wonderful. I am always extremely satisfied with my stay every year; however, this time I noticed two things: the Matsusaka beef shabu-shabu did not have the usual impressive flavor I remember, and the toilet (washlet) in the Room feels quite old and does not function fully. Since I would like to continue staying here in future years as well, I appreciate your continued support. Thank you very much.

The sound of the ocean waves is very soothing at this Hotel. The sea-facing Room offers an amazing view. There are four dog runs—indoor, rooftop, pool area, and next to the parking lot—allowing small dogs to play together a lot, which was very satisfying. The dinner kaiseki cuisine was incredibly delicious. Enjoying drinks and relaxing while our beloved dogs had their meals made for a truly happy time. This is definitely a place we would like to visit again. Thank you!

I chose to stay nearby on purpose so I could relax. Overall, I was very satisfied. I think it’s a wonderful, calming Accommodation. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious, with local specialties included so we never got bored. The bath was great as well, and I was able to unwind at my leisure. Since the building is old, there were a few areas that caught my attention, and I think an auto-lock would be better for the Room key. Because our meal time was late, there were food crumbs and some moisture on the floor around our seats, which felt unclean and was a bit disappointing. Also, personally, I might feel more comfortable in samue rather than yukata. I’d also like the in-room amenities to be a bit more complete. Despite these comments, I would definitely like to stay again in other areas as well.

An interesting option for solo travelers. You can enjoy a quiet, relaxing stay. Just don’t expect luxury! This is more than enough.

Due to a major incident in the morning, our arrival was significantly delayed, and we caused you a great deal of inconvenience. We had even assumed we would have to wait until the next morning since we arrived after bath hours, but you accommodated us so flexibly, which made us truly happy. We are deeply grateful for the kind consideration shown by all the staff. Thank you very much. Next time, we would love to enjoy your delicious dinner as well.

We stayed for three nights during Golden Week. The building is quite old, so the kids were surprised when we arrived, but the Room was clean and the staff were very courteous, so we felt comfortable throughout our stay. There are many places within walking distance from the Accommodation that you can visit with children, and it’s also very convenient—only about a 15-minute drive to the Ise area! We’d love to stay again if we have the chance. I gave 4 stars for the guest room because the door opens inward and there isn’t much space, so with shoes for five people left by the entrance, it was hard to open and close the door. It made going in and out of the Room a bit of a hassle… some guests might find this frustrating.
