Senpokaku

Amazing views, incredible staff, wonderful food, and excellent onsen. Worth it!

Our stay at Senpokaku was a highlight of our trip, offering a perfectly peaceful and silent atmosphere. Situated on a hill, the hotel provides a great sense of tranquility and an absolutely stunning sea view from the room. We found the room itself to be very large, clean, and comfortable, offering plenty of space to relax. While the indoor and outdoor onsen facilities are relatively average in their design, they were clean and served as a nice way to unwind. The dining experience, however, was exceptional; the breakfast was very good, offering both great taste and a wide variety of choices. Above all, the staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming, making our stay feel very special. It is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for comfort and a beautiful view in Toba.

Yes, the view was great!

Good service/staff. Facilities were aging and needs updates.

All of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Not everyone spoke english, but they all did their best to assist us. Rooms were quite and cozy. And its the best breakfast buffet you'll ever experience.

The indoor and outdoor onsen provide different experiences of onsen. The view from hotel is amazing. The hotel provides excellent service. My mom fell to the ground and got injured when crossing street. The lady from hotel provides us ice bag and medicines for my mom. They are super helpful.

Very good

This was a very economical stay in a very nice property. The room was spacious and had lots of extras like snacks, a hot water urn for tea, a fridge and all the toiletries you'd expect. The view was very good from my room! The futon was already set up when I arrived, which was appreciated for a rest before dinner. As with others I'd say it's a bit dated but that doesn't detract from the stay. Lots of additional amenities on site but not all were open due to the coronavirus. These included a bar, cafe, karaoke room and games arcade. The outdoor onsen was lovely, and not too hot, which they often are! The grounds are also beautiful to walk around. Breakfast in the morning was small but quite a good selection of different Japanese and Western choices. The crayfish miso soup is worth a try! The one minor negative point is that they offer a shuttle bus to and from Toba station because the ryokan is up a hill, but they don't advertise this so it was a long walk up there to check in! Otherwise a very pleasant stay!

Hotel was accommodating in that they kept our luggage after we checked out and even sent us to the JR Station after their designated scheduled shuttle timing. Great view from hotel, spacious room and lovely onsen too.

We had a great time. Service was good , the room was spacious and ONSEN was great!!!

It was a comfortable stay. Guests were mainly Japanese and front desk staff speaks limited English but it was fine. They are very friendly. It was a nice stay at Senpokaku.

It was so relaxing and everyone was so nice. I loved my outdoor soaking tub! I ended up walking all the way there not knowing that there was a shuttle service. I would say that it’s not very English speaking friendly, most of the flyers and what not in the room were all in kanji (but it didn’t bother me) I will for sure be recommending this hotel!

on a route finding trip for new motorbike tours and the hotel was very centrally located, just 2 miles to the entrance of the famous curving road Ise-Shima Skyline as well as on the Pearl Road to Shima. The hotel itself is in an older yet well maintained building, with beautiful hot springs and almost every room has a direct view of the Pacific Ocean. Staff was VERY friendly and helpful and made the stay really worthwile. Toba has the Mikimoto Pearl Center and Island with the female pearl divers and the distance to the world famous Ise Jingu is also only around 20 kms, so lots of things along the Pacific to explore.

I stayed (alone) in the family room for 7. It was very spacious for me being a solo traveler. The room had a nice, calming view but the rooms could use some updating... the carpet was full of stains and aged. Futon was not very comfortable. (Hotel staff came unexpectedly to set it up for me) The breakfast and wonderful open air onsen were the best parts of this place. I would stay again.

Good for a family size of five in a tatami room with onsen facility. But not value for money for the condition of hotel which is quite run down.

This was a very lovely hotel. It looks like it had seen better days, but the city of Toba also looked like that. I would stay here again; I would also send other people this way as well. Also, this is a Japanese hotel; they lay out your bed on the tatami floor! I found I was slightly allergic to the tatami, but it is a fun change from the typical western hotels I get at home in the US

The hotel staffs drive to the station to pick we up once they know we can't find taxi at night. p.s. nice welcome snacks

朝食は美味しいバイキングで、粗相をしてしまった娘(3歳)に対しても、優しく丁寧に対応してくれました。 窓からも伊勢湾が、一望でき、素敵な宿泊となりました。ありがとうございました。

スタッフさんの、対応、温かいおもてなしが良かったです。鳥羽の海を眺めながらの温泉浴で疲れも取れました。朝ごはんのメニューも豊富で2泊しましたが、全種類は食べきれませんでした。また来年利用したいです。

とくに、問題はないです。 外に食べに行くのが少し不便かもしれません。
