Goza, Shima hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great hotel to stay at in Toba. Location is close to the train station as well as other activities including the Mikimoto Pearl Island and the Toba Aquarium. Staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. There was a variety of food at the buffets and delicious. I would recommend this hotel to others. "

"The hotel was exquisite! Comfortable beds and modern decor. Extremely comfortable. We got breakfast with our stay and we're so glad we did. What an amazing spread! The only thing lacking was juice. Highly recommended!"

"Had an amazing stay for two nights, enjoying the stunning views, luxurious pearl bath, and the impeccable service. The breakfast buffet had many delicious options and dinner at the Seahorse was exceptional. The only downside were the stairs between the main lobby and the harbour view building, which were challenging for my elderly parents."

"Beautiful ryokan within walking distance to Ise Grand Shrine. Exceptionally clean and quiet room with tatami and private outdoor bath. We utilized the amazing interior private onsens for a relaxing soak. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and served by a very polite, gentle spoken and attentive young gentleman. There is no better customer care than in Japan."

"Will use again."
