Higashi-Kishu, Mie Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean room, friendly staff, beautiful view from the room. I loved my stay here"

"Room was clean. Beds were hard though!"

"Location : around 10 min walk from the JR station to the pier where the hotel provides free shuttle bus/ ferry pick up service. Room: nice size and view. Rather old style But i consider it reasonable as it is an old hotel. Onsen : I love the cave onsen. Very rare. This is the most beautiful features at the hotel. Meals: buffet style. I always prefer kaiseki style. But it is a big hotel with a lot of guests. Buffer style is easy to manage . Staff: nice and helpful Recommended for good value for money "

"Simply beautiful. The onsen was so wonderful and the community onsen was even better. The staff were absolute professionals and went above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast and dinner were as we expected. I really liked their tempura but i loved the sashimi. My partner loved the beer dispenser:) We feel a got the best deal!"

"The beds were so comfortable, the hotel was breathtaking views of the ocean!! Staff were so friendly and welcoming!!! Super cool kitchen area to use!!! "

"The room was very dusty and dirty. It was very tiny! It was very difficult to get the heater to work. I’ve stayed at the sister hotel Midoriya, and I’d highly recommend going there instead! The amenities, rooms, and customer service are much better!"

"A big cockroach was crawling on the bed when I lifted the comforter. Luckily, my husband was with me and killed the pest. I informed the front desk, but besides some insincere apologies, nothing was done. I had to ask the receptionist to come to the room to remove the pest and change the bed linens. I was glad it was just a one-night stay. I will never return, even if it were a free stay—no way. "

"A quiet hotel with a nice onsen on the balcony overlooking the river. Simple alkaline waters, not too hot, elaborate dinners and breakfast with nice sea and river fish dishes, good wifi. Comfortable rooms in a modern building. "
