2-Star Hotels in Mie Prefecture, Japan

It'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.

We 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!

Stayed here for five days, it is too beautiful to say, the boss and the proprietress are super good, the scenery is charming. That is, breakfast is fixed for one person every day, all the same, there is no choice, if you live for a long time, you will be tired of breakfast. I travel here every year and stay here next time.

I made a reservation because it was just cheaper for a business trip. If you go nearby, the outer wall construction? Scaffolding ＆ curtain? I was a little surprised. huh? Is there such a guide? When. I think it's a long-term construction, so I think it's better to have a guide that you can understand at the time of booking. The scenery is no problem because it is not to open the window and enjoy it. I'm sure there will be noise in the time zone. I didn't care during my stay. The staff responded politely when I left my luggage early on the day and when I checked in. The facilities are quite old (the washbasin is cracked) but I think it is cleaned. I can use it without any problems and I would like to ask again. Thank you for your help.

Beautiful location and amazing room with view (book a sea view room). Owner went out of his way to help and was quick to advise me of bad weather forecast and not to attempt mountain passes the next day. Really great breakfast and good public bath. Next door to a shrine with a 1,000 year old camphor tree. Only shame no dinner available and no restaurants close by so not ideal for walkers but if shop ahead then totally worth it. Again host is great.

Anyway, for the price it was better than I expected. I was especially happy that I could park for free even though it was so close to the station. It may have been because it was a weekday, but it was quiet and I was able to relax. Can't you do something about the slippers?

Very nice and welcoming owner. Good way very good and hotel a 3 star ryokan with private onsen, which we used alone in the evening. Cafes and nice shrine very short by. Also don’t miss the museum and story of the pearl diver women in that village! If you look for a small village at the coast, it is very natural and less touristic there!

A typical guesthouse, nothing particularly noteworthy. Because it's an old building, the soundproofing isn't great; the experience depends on how noisy other guests are. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but not too far. There's a well-reviewed old restaurant near Isekai. The directions say to go up the slope next to Lawson, but actually both sides are slopes, so it's unclear which slope is being referred to. Based on the entrance facing Lawson, I strongly advise against taking the right-hand slope, especially when pushing a suitcase. The slope is very steep, and many of the drainage ditches are large enough to trap luggage, making it very difficult to walk. I recommend taking the left-hand slope, which is much gentler.

We were met with such excellent hospitality with Rina and the New Hamaguchi-ya staff. They were thoughtful with their service, the meals provided were definitely prepared with love and great care. Despite the language barriers, we were treated very well and we would definitely come back and stay again!

Convenience of check-in: Very convenient. The front desk staff speaks English. This hotel was even featured in National Geographic. Facilities: Being a hostel, the facilities are basic but sufficient. Cleanliness: Acceptable. It doesn't reach the level of a high-end hotel, but it's reassuring. Service: Excellent. They have everything you need. Absolutely fantastic value for money.
