Toba Orchid, Near Ise Grand Shrine

We chose a recently renovated Room, and it was very clean with a wonderful view—excellent overall. It was a three-generation stay, and having two sinks in the Room made it very convenient. One small issue was that the in-room meal took quite a long time—about two hours. Our child got a bit fussy, so we hoped it could be served in a shorter time. Overall, it was a very good Accommodation and ideal for our first trip with a baby.

We were surprised by the limousine greeting us right away at Toba Station. We assumed it couldn’t be for us and looked for a minibus, but then someone got out of the limousine, called our names, and we finally realized it was our ride. 　　It was raining when we arrived at the Hotel as well, and they even came out to greet us with umbrellas. We were truly impressed again. 　　The Hotel was thoroughly cleaned and felt very fresh and spotless. There were many beautiful flower arrangements, and the Phalaenopsis orchids—also part of the Hotel’s name—were especially stunning. 　　Our Room was upgraded, and it was so spacious that it almost felt too big for just two of us. The air purifier had already been running in advance, so the Room felt wonderfully fresh and clean. 　　The bath area was also impeccably maintained. The water left our skin silky smooth like a true “beauty bath,” with amazing clarity, and even the tub itself felt perfectly clean without any slimy feeling at all. 　　Dinner was served in our Room for the first time in a while, with beautifully presented dishes and flavorful Japanese cuisine rich with dashi. We kept smiling as we told each other how delicious everything was—it made for such an enjoyable mealtime together.
