The hotel is located not far from the station, and there’s a supermarket nearby. Within a 10-minute walk, there are some small restaurants, but be prepared—they’re too small to comfortably fit a family.
I have two major complaints about the hotel:
1. The booking didn’t mention that parking spaces are limited and not managed by the hotel staff, so anyone can park there. We arrived from Tokyo and had to use a paid parking lot near the hotel.
2. At breakfast, you have to wait in line because tables are cleared very slowly. You come down for breakfast and end up waiting about 15 minutes before you’re seated.
3. There’s no way to adjust the air conditioner temperature—only the fan speed. The room was very cold, and you could easily catch a cold.
The staffs at receptions are super helpful, one helping me reserve a restaurant in Matsusaka. Another lady staff also heled me finding new restaurant on the 2nd night as the one i plan to go was fully occupied, i am really thankful for that.💜 The Aircon is not a centralized type, which is really good during the autumn/winter. The hotel has pilow bar where you can lend pillow of your choice without charge. They also provide icebar at the public bath area. Location is the best
Room was spacious enough for 3 adults (the room is meant for 4 adults). Bathroom is surprisingly spacious and the toilet is separated. Water pressure is good too. It's more like a mini studio apartment, there's a mini bar, a kitchen sink and microwave as well. There's a laundry area in the hotel but we didn't check that out. Parking space is available for those that are driving.
Location wise, it's quiet and about 10 mins walk from Iseshi station. There's a Lawson convenience store just 2 mins walk away.
To take note:
1. The bedsheets had some stain. It's probably washed but the stain was still there.
2. The window behind the bed has no curtain and the sun rises pretty early. So it's super bright, however they do provide eye mask for you.
3. There's no luggage storage or luggage delivery services available.
4. No breakfast option and the town has limited options.
All in all, was a good stay. Would recommend.
The hotel is very close to the station, but be careful to exit from the north gate, otherwise you will have to go around a big circle. There are many places to eat in front of the station, which is very convenient.
The hotel has a washing machine and a dryer, which are generally good, but they are too old, and the door needs to be locked automatically with a key, which is a bit inconvenient.
Facilities: The hotel has a hot spring on the 4th floor, perfect for unwinding after a long day of travel. On the 3rd floor, there's the front desk, a coffee machine, and some toiletries you can help yourself to.
Stayed in January 2025 | Hollywood Twin Room (Non-Smoking)
Cleanliness: The hotel cleanliness is excellent, and the hot spring on the 3rd floor is also quite clean.
Ambiance: The hotel seems to be 10 stories high in total, with guest rooms from the 4th to the 10th floor.
Service: There's a Sri Lankan guy at the front desk who speaks perfect English. There's also a real-time translator at the front desk, so if you don't speak Japanese but know a bit of English, overall it shouldn't be a big problem.
The location is very close to the beach, a 10-minute walk to the Futamiura Meotowa (Twin Rocks). The hotel has a shuttle bus to the JR station (unfortunately, a Japanese mobile phone number is required to make a reservation). The hotel has onsen (hot spring) and private baths. The rooms are much larger than expected, big enough to fit two suitcases. Overall, it exceeded my expectations.
Actually, I wasn't planning to stay at this hotel in the first place... I realized I had forgotten to make a reservation just before I went, so I hurriedly booked and this was the only hotel available. In hindsight, my expectations weren't high at all, but the breakfast was free, the room was spacious and clean, and it was probably newer than the hotel I had originally planned to stay at, and it was spacious and clean. I think God must have guided me to this hotel. It was very close to Ise-shi Station, and I stayed there for three nights, and it was easy to access the surrounding tourist spots such as Ise Shrine, Takihara Shrine, Meoto Iwa, and Kashikojima, so I had a great trip. It was raining on the day we returned, so I bought a plastic umbrella at the hotel and got a sturdy 60cm jump umbrella for ¥320. They were very conscientious until the very end♪ The breakfast smoothie was the best!
This is an older style hotel, but it is generally clean. At 1 a.m., it was already full of guests and cars. Fortunately, there is a 24-hour supermarket across from the building with plenty of parking spaces. However, I found that some cars were too long to notice the parking space. There...
The hotel is near the train station, which makes travel very convenient. The breakfast is very rich, with Matsusaka beef hotpot every morning. Free midnight snacks (noodles), ice cream, and Yakult are provided. You can also soak in hot springs.
As I read in a previous review, there was floating foam in the men's bath. I thought this was due to the body soap not rinsing well. It took a long time to rinse off the soap after washing. I thought that since men don't care and just jump in the bath right away, the soap might get mixed into the water. I thought that changing the quality of the soap would solve the problem of floating foam and reduce the amount of water used. I was also disappointed that the water temperature in the cold bath was lukewarm (apparently the women's bath was cold). The toilet and the restroom were separate in the room, which was convenient. I felt that the other services were good, so I would like to recommend it if they improve the bath.
Very Good

GGuest UserThe open-air bath was amazing!
The changing room, shower room, and balcony
open-air bath were all connected, which was great.
The air purifier and the corners of the room were a little rough, but it wasn't too bad.
The staff were very helpful and polite when I checked in!
There were some shops open until around 10 PM, so I could go for a walk even after relaxing at the hotel!
I couldn't go this time, so I'll save it for next time. (T_T)
I was shocked that the room service I ordered was cold.
The room didn't have a microwave, which was a problem! The food was delicious!! There was also a snack and drink set that looked delicious!
Thank you so much!
GGuest UserIt's a clean and nice hotel. However, the bathrobe-style loungewear is easy to come undone, and the knot hurts when you lie down, which is annoying. It's quite stressful for someone who has come from far away and is tired and finally arrives at the hotel. I look forward to the future.
The staff's service is polite and elegant, and the location is very close to the station, so I would like to use it again in the future.
Personally, I don't think it's necessary to serve customers with masks. I remember that the WHO also announced that masks are not effective for either coronavirus or influenza. Japan is the only country that is lagging behind in wearing masks, and it has become part of the etiquette at work, but it's scary to serve customers without seeing their faces.
KKennyDuring my recent stay at Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu, I had a mixed experience, resulting in an overall rating of 3 out of 5. While the hotel was generally acceptable, there were some notable drawbacks.
One major issue I encountered was the cleanliness of the rooms. I was disappointed to find a significant number of insects on the walls, which was quite unpleasant and off-putting. As a result, I had to deduct points and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Additionally, compared to my previous stay at another Hotel R9 location, the price at Yard Tsu was slightly higher. However, it was still within an acceptable range considering the overall quality of the hotel.
Despite the drawbacks, I must mention that the hotel's staff were courteous and attentive, providing decent service throughout my stay.
In conclusion, while Hotel R9 at Yard Tsu has some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, its reasonable price and satisfactory service make it an acceptable choice for a short stay. However, I would recommend management to address the cleanliness issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for guests.
NNaoIt was good to have a large room with an ocean view and a relaxing room.
However, it was very conspicuous that the manners of the public bath users were too bad. Even though there is a ban on the use of tattoos at the entrance, a child who has a tattoos is used, a child who starts a swimming tournament at a hot spring, and a mother who doesn't pay attention to it. We do not recommend using the hot springs around 21:00 after meals. Since there is no key in the shoe locker, I was in trouble because there was no slippers in the building where I put them when I returned.
I felt that I would like you to improve the tattoo notes, such as locking the shoe locker.
GGuest UserWe used it to go to golf. The hotel welcome service was good with the service of peel and hot coffee. However, the breakfast buffet cooking menu is poor.
SSmilexiaojiebuaipashanMie Prefecture is a relatively remote and rural place, but Toba, Ise and Shima are still worth visiting.
Todaya Hotel exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just an ordinary local Japanese-style hotel, but it turned out to be very large, with two buildings, a large public bath, an open-air bath, and several free private baths for families. There are quite a few medals at the front desk.
The room size is not large among Japanese-style rooms, but it is more spacious than ordinary modern rooms. Western-style beds are also more comfortable. The dinner was quite rich, with both Japanese and Western flavors, and the freshly roasted beef was delicious. Breakfast is on the top floor of the South Building, facing the sea, with a great view. There are also many dining options.
Mikimoto Pearl Island and Toba Aquarium are nearby.
When you check in, you will see the last name or first name of each room occupant on the welcome board at the hotel entrance. It is quite interesting to find your own name.
DDr.RayWe stayed at Sanco Inn Kuwana for a night when we were in town to attend a wedding and found it to be a small but well-equipped hotel in a quiet, charming town. While the room and bathroom were quite compact—just enough space to open one suitcase—they thoughtfully included a small bathtub, though it may be a tight fit for taller guests when showering. It was adequate for us (a family of 2 adults 1 toddler)
The hotel impressed us with its attention to detail, offering various types of pillows and night robes in different sizes, even for children. Breakfast was a concise but well-curated selection. It’s best to come down early, as seating can be limited and there may be a queue for food. Conveniently, takeaway boxes were also available for those who prefer to eat on the go.
The location was great, with several convenience stores nearby and the train station just a few minutes’ walk away. A comfortable and practical stay for a short trip!

GGuest UserUpon arrival, they played a welcome drum. The room was nicely cleaned and we had a pleasant stay. There was a wide variety of dishes at dinner, more than we could eat, but since it was in our room, we were able to enjoy it at our leisure. The bath was lovely with a tatami floor.
I was told that toothbrushes were charged, but this was not listed in the hotel details, so it would be nice if this was stated. It would also be helpful if amenities were placed so that only those who wanted them could choose them.
There were two sets of towels and bath towels in the room, which were great to be able to use for bathing twice a day, at night and in the morning.
The staff also gave us detailed explanations.
ZZenix KWhile it's a bit far, and the bus ride up and down the mountain takes half an hour each day, with the last bus leaving around 6 PM and the first at 9:55 AM, which is a bit inconvenient, the scenery is truly stunning.
