Watakano Island Apart Hotels

"Nice stop in toba with a nice view of the water. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Drink bar and “soba hour” at 9pm was a nice touch. Seems like they recently had some renovations, so it’s nice and updated. "

"Wonderful experience! Friendly and helpful staff, clean and large room (Annex Grande), good restaurant, relaxing onsen, beautiful lobby lounge with delicious amenities, self-laundry available, luggage storage available, easy parking. You have to walk out onto the street and re-enter the premises (adjacent bldg) to access the restaurant and onsen if you reserve a room on the Annex Grande side of the hotel. Besides that minor detail, it was a great stay and would reserve again! "

"Walkable to use shrine and meals were all wonderful!"

"Overall great stay. Wonderful and hospitable staff. Clean everywhere. Breakfast was delicious. Easy parking very nearby (approximately $8/night). We especially loved the Comfort Cafe Lounge in the lobby, where you can enjoy snacks and drinks. Close proximity to many shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again in the future!"

"A rather unique staying experience at a spacious log house and one you'd want to be bringing friends along to. Absolutely excellent value for money, just inconvenient to get to (car/taxi basically mandatory). --- I went with enough people that we booked 2 of the standard quadruple bed rooms. Since these rooms are actually two halves of the same cabin (unlike the private villas), we basically had the whole cabin to ourselves. We gathered on one of the two sides and got pretty rowdy, then checked from the outside to confirm that it was fine and shouldn't be a disturbance to our neighbours. We opted for the barbecue grill rental (red Coleman grill), which they set up on one of our sides along with a bunch of chairs and basic lanterns. We went to a nearby Aeon supermarket to pick up meat, drinks, etc. (plus oil and condiments — anything that goes in the mouth wasn't provided and we had to procure those ourselves). BBQ turned out to be a very cost effective and fun way to have dinner with friends. Apparently if it had rained, they have portable stoves as replacements that can be used indoors. The kitchen was well stocked, with available items listed in Japanese somewhere on their website. We could have easily bought ingredients and cooked a meal here instead if we wanted. Only downside is you'll want a car (or taxi) to get here, past a rather narrow winding path in the woods. But it's located pretty well in the Shima area, only about 10 min drive from Shima Spain Village."

"Very nice hotel. Not new, but our stay was lovely and the bento box breakfast was delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great price, we would stay there again"

"It’s convenient to stay here near train station and it’s walking distance to the main street to hang. "

"Quiet area near the ocean. Nice hotel with a very helpful staff. The private Onsen option was wonderful. Easy walking distance to the Wedded Rocks."

"This hotel gave us a surprise if its room size which is bigger than expected. There are also chairs with coffee table in the room which is rare in most of the hotel rooms in Japan. Hotel’s breakfast is fantastic and hotel owner is really putting lots of efforts and heart in its hospitality to all guests."
