"A rather unique staying experience at a spacious log house and one you'd want to be bringing friends along to. Absolutely excellent value for money, just inconvenient to get to (car/taxi basically mandatory). --- I went with enough people that we booked 2 of the standard quadruple bed rooms. Since these rooms are actually two halves of the same cabin (unlike the private villas), we basically had the whole cabin to ourselves. We gathered on one of the two sides and got pretty rowdy, then checked from the outside to confirm that it was fine and shouldn't be a disturbance to our neighbours. We opted for the barbecue grill rental (red Coleman grill), which they set up on one of our sides along with a bunch of chairs and basic lanterns. We went to a nearby Aeon supermarket to pick up meat, drinks, etc. (plus oil and condiments — anything that goes in the mouth wasn't provided and we had to procure those ourselves). BBQ turned out to be a very cost effective and fun way to have dinner with friends. Apparently if it had rained, they have portable stoves as replacements that can be used indoors. The kitchen was well stocked, with available items listed in Japanese somewhere on their website. We could have easily bought ingredients and cooked a meal here instead if we wanted. Only downside is you'll want a car (or taxi) to get here, past a rather narrow winding path in the woods. But it's located pretty well in the Shima area, only about 10 min drive from Shima Spain Village."

"Very nice hotel. Not new, but our stay was lovely and the bento box breakfast was delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great price, we would stay there again"

"Nice view"

"Quiet area near the ocean. Nice hotel with a very helpful staff. The private Onsen option was wonderful. Easy walking distance to the Wedded Rocks."

"This hotel gave us a surprise if its room size which is bigger than expected. There are also chairs with coffee table in the room which is rare in most of the hotel rooms in Japan. Hotel’s breakfast is fantastic and hotel owner is really putting lots of efforts and heart in its hospitality to all guests."

"Lovely hotel with friendly staff. The onsens are an additional nice touch. The downside is how far it is from the downtown area, but the shuttle makes that a non issue, also the bus drops you off right at the door. A convenience store nearby is also good if you need late night food."

"This is a great place to stay in Ise, where there is a limited selection of hotels. Very close to the railway station and the outer shrine, short bus ride to the outer shrine. Its not fancy but offers good clean accommodation at a very reasonable price if booked well enough in advance. It was my second stay and I would choose this place again if I sent there again."

"Service is good. From the reception to the bell boy to the restaurant staff. The male manager at the breakfast reception is always bright and courteous every morning. Club room is super worth it since there’s food throughout the day with yummy cheesecakes etc. There’s even free flow liquor available. The club room is pretty and nicely renovated. We loved our stay at TOBA we stayed 3 nights"
