What kind of hotel is Toba International Hotel?
This is a luxury boutique resort hotel in Toba. There are 84 rooms. The resort is also for the royal family. If you plan to visit Ise Grand Shrine and Kumano Kodo, you should stay here. Perhaps, if you are looking for a room with a nice ocean view, the resort is one of the best. Then this is one of the gourmet hotels. In particular, french cuisine was wonderful. On top of that, the hotel has great value for money.
Facilities tend to be a bit worn-out, but well-maintained. Then the service is top-notch. All staff is excellent.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a nice ryokan, this is not. You should stay in the sister inn, Toba International Hotel Shiojitei next door.
The resort would be great for couples, families, or groups.

Is the location easy to access?
Yes, it would be easy. Take an express Kintetsu Nagoya Line at Kintetsu Nagoya Station. Then get off at Toba Station. It takes around 100min. Then free shuttle service is available from Toba Station. Take exit 1 and this is where you will board the shuttle bus. It takes 5min by car. You need to book it in advance.
If you visit Toba from Osaka, Kyoto, or Kobe, please feel free to contact me at the below. I will tell you how to get there.
Then if you visit Ise Grand Shrine from Toba Station, a shuttle service called Ise-Futami-Toba bus is available. It takes around 45min. You should ask the staff for more information.
Rooms I would recommend?
The hotel has two buildings. One is called Ocean Wing. The other is called Harbor Wing. I would recommend a room with an ocean view in Ocean Wing on a high floor. You can fully enjoy a peaceful blue ocean while chilling out in your room. It’s interesting to watch the fishing boats and ferries going by on the ocean. Also, the sunrise is amazingly mystical.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t recommend a room in Ocean Wing on a low floor. Because the trees are blocking the view of the ocean.
Also, I wouldn’t recommend rooms in Harbor Wing. Because there are many steps when you move to the restaurants and lobby. If you have a lot of luggage, you may want to stay in Ocean Wing. It wouldn’t be easy to carry your luggage yourself.
Is this child-friendly?
Yes, if you bring small children, you should inform the staff in advance as they arrange amenities. Baby cots are available at PY2,200. *One child up to 2 age per adult will be free of charge for co-sleep.
How about toiletries & in-room amenities?
All of the amenities are taken care of including enough toiletries, pajamas, a binocular and tea bags, etc. There are MIKIMOTO amenities in the bathroom. Room service is not available. Free Wi-Fi was available. There is no convenience store around here. You may want to buy your necessities before coming here.
How about In-house Facilities?
There is no hot spring, but there are wonderful communal pearl baths in the sister inn which you can use for free. The staff sends you to the venue. *Please note that if you have tattoos, you may not be permitted to use the communal bathing area.
Also, this is one of the amazing spa hotels in Toba. If you want to have a pearl treatment at PEARL SPA by MIKIMOTO COSMETICS, you need to make an appointment at the reception in advance. It’s open between 14:00 and 23:00.

Then if you bring someone with weak legs, you should stay in Ocean Wing and inform the staff in advance as they arrange a room near the lift. This is a universal design. Wheelchairs are available for borrowing.

How about meals?
There are French, Japanese, teppanyaki restaurants, cafe, and bar in-house. If you have french food for dinner, you may want to book a table in advance as the french restaurant is often fully booked as local people enjoy here dinner only. Alternatively, you should book a room with meals.
The food is equivalent to Michelin 1 or 2 stars! If you love black abalones, you might want to visit between the spring to the summer season. If you prefer Ise-lobsters, you might want to visit between the autumn to the winter season.
*Please note that inform the staff when you book a room with meals if you have any food allergies. They probably wouldn’t be able to prepare alternative food if you request it on that day.
Then, as far as I know, there is no restaurant near the property. Most of the local papa-mama shops are closing early. You may want to book a room with meals unless you drive a car yourself.
My impressions
The most important I would like to highlight is that the staff here is really refined, professional, and warm. It will be a valuable experience.
Then the hotel would be very popular among local people as well. There are many return guests. If you want to chillax to the max at the hotel in a tranquil atmosphere with an amazing view, you might want to avoid staying here between late April to early May, and the end of year and New Year holiday.
At last, don’t forget to check the weather forecast before booking a room if you want to see a magnificent view. Have a nice trip! Welcome to receive any questions about the property from the below space. Check Availability and Pricing for the hotel on Agoda
