I think everyone can enjoy the baths, with hot water, lukewarm water, a bubbly area like a jet bath, and a waterfall bath. Not to be forgotten is the observation deck and the Ama Gallery. The observation deck where you can enjoy the magnificent view is in front of the lobby and at the back of the dining room. Both are really comfortable and you can gaze out at the sea of ​​Toba. It's hot at the moment, so I recommend mornings or evenings. When it gets hot, take refuge in the Ama Gallery at the back of the lobby. There are also nice chairs and drink service here (times are set). Above all, the art on the walls is really wonderful. The silkscreen works of an artist from Shima depict the Ama divers so beautifully. I wanted to take them home with me lol. We chatted here while drinking coffee.

I stayed at Kairakuen, a traditional Japanese restaurant located on the coast of Toba, Mie Prefecture. All rooms have an ocean view, and the view of the ocean spreads out below the window. (The photo shows the full moon from the room.) Kairakuen has a large public bath, but you can also see a beautiful full moon from the private open-air bath. The night view over the sea is also very beautiful and mesmerizing. Just listening to the sound of the waves while watching the night view and losing track of time is soothing. Toba also has delicious seafood! I grilled the grilled fish for breakfast myself and ate it! ✴︎Kairakuen, a marine restaurant✴︎ Location: 299-39 Obama-cho, Toba City, Mie Prefecture Access: 5 minutes by shuttle bus from Kintetsu Toba Station Parking: Opposite the hotel #AccommodationReview #TobaTrip #MieTourism #MieGourmet #NightView #FishingSpots #SeaFishing #Sakura2024

Although "Ise Ebi" has a regional character, it is actually equivalent to Japanese lobster. However, Toba City, which is included in the Ise-Shima National Park, is rich in seafood along the Tani Bay and has a large number of ama, so you must try seafood when you come to Toba. 📍 1-6-18 Toba, Toba City, Mie Prefecture 🚊 About 5 minutes walk from Kintetsu Toba Station 🚙 5 free parking spaces There are many seafood shops near Kintetsu Toba Station, and Ama House Toba Hamanami has been in business for more than 50 years. The interior of the store has the feel of an old shop, with many interesting seafood pictures and posters. In addition, there are many set menus to choose from, and the prices are very affordable. For example, for 1,500 yen you can try five kinds of seasonal grilled scallops. If you know Japanese, you can chat with the Ama while eating and learn about their lives and how they have changed over the years. It is a very special experience to eat freshly grilled seafood while listening to the stories of the Ama women. #seetheearthinthemoment #overseastravel #Japan #Mie-ken #Toba-shi #food #ama #foodie #Ise-ebi #japan
