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!

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.

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.
I actually didn't end up staying at Kaigetsu because of the water supply issue at the property. Kiku-san contacted me a few days before notifying me the problem and offered to rebook me at another nearby hotel or a refund. I took up the offer to have the stay at another hotel. I met her at her hotel and she walked me to the alternative property, and made sure that I was checked in and everything was OK before leaving. This was much appreciated.
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.
A great option if you want an authentic Japanese experience with dinner served in your room. The rooms are Japanese style tatami rooms so sparse of furniture. Dinner was good and after dinner staff came and setup the futon mattresses on the floor. The onsen was amazing and is outdoors with great views of the water. Breakfast was served in a breakfast room and was very traditional Japanese breakfast.
The staff were friendly and helpful and always attentive if needed.
The view from the room and the breakfast restaurant were beautiful.
The location is up a very steep hill from the train station, without an obvious footpath, but there is a regular hotel shuttle bus.
The onsen in the adjoining hotel was beautiful. The crushed pearls in the water were a lovely surprise.
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.
The place was wonderful, the lady was super nice!!! Always smiling and trying to speak Japanese with us, and her daughter coming for help in English, very close to the train station and pearl museum, if you travel to toba go there!!!!
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 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.
Hotel is located on a hill which has a nice view of the harbor. Shuttle bus is very convenient, you can also walk down the hill.
Staff are very friendly and helpful, excellent!
From arrival to departure, nothing to fault. Breakfast, dinner and onsen couple with friendly staff has met my expectations of what Japanese hospitality that I came to love.
Excellent hotel and onsen. Nice clean and spacious room. Convenient shuttle to the train station even though we didn't use it. Close to the aquarium and the ferry terminal.
