Hiogiso

Geweldige setting in natuurgebied

Alles was perfect

伊勢神宮から足を伸ばし志麻市の宿へ宿泊。 志麻の海岸線が入り組んだ立地がよくわかる海辺の宿です。外海ではないので海は穏やかで朝釣りを楽しむ人もいました。 朝の散歩で少し先に白い鳥(ダイサギ？)が沢山いるのを見かけました。やはり立地が最高のご馳走。 時間の関係で夕食は食べずでしたが、次回は是非ご自慢の夕食を食べたいと思います。 露天風呂からも海の景色が味わえます。 伊勢志麻サミット時に配布された古事記が部屋にあり日本を振り返る旅になりました。

The staff were so kind and helpful. When we arrived with our elderly dog and were shown to our room, they very kindly swapped us to a more suitable room without any fuss. The room was well-equipped for dogs, with bowls, wipes, a pee pad, and a crate provided. The ryokan is in a beautiful location; rural and right by the water, but still only a 5-minute drive to a convenience store and shops and restaurants in the nearby town. There’s also a lovely viewpoint (Yokoyama Viewpoint) about a 10-minute drive away. We also joined the sunset cruise around Ago Bay, which was incredible, and the staff kindly accommodated a late dinner for us afterwards. The meals we had (breakfast and dinner) were both plentiful and really good. There was also a dog run and a wonderful onsen overlooking the bay.

I had booked a "Japanese-Style Room with Shared Bathroom and Ocean View", but our initial room had a private bathroom and no ocean view. However, the staff very kindly moved us to another room that had an ocean view and was more suitable for my elderly dog. Some surfaces in our room were a little dusty, though this may have been due to our last-minute room change. The onsen water was also on the hotter side for my personal preference, though others may enjoy that. We felt a little rushed during dinner, though this might be because we had it after the sunset cruise, so it was after their last time slot.

Very authentic. Amazing view at the sea from restaurant and some rooms

海に浮かぶ雰囲気が最高でした。 宿全体は決して真新しい感じではないですが、リフォームも入っているのか非常にキレイな客室でした。 むしろフロントがある棟は、レトロな雰囲気で非日常感もあり、気持ちが高揚しました。 ご飯も美味しく、何よりも料金設定が良心価格なのも助かりました。 次回も是非利用したい宿です。

緑が多い地域ということもあり、施設内に多少の虫は見受けられました。 苦手な人は要注意かもしれません。

皆さんやさしくてとても有意義な時間を過ごせた。

なし。

濱海日式溫泉飯店，景色很美

位置偏遠

Stunning little harbour. Beautiful views

We booked a room with an ocean view. The room had windows inside the children’s playground courtyard attached to the ping-pong table. At 6:30 parents happily decided to play ping pong so we had no sleep . The staff very friendly - gave us the worst room and multiplied by giving us a dinner table in the corner where you can’t enjoy the view too. Disappointed.

The design of the place is quite nice and the views over the water as well. The onsen is all wooden and has a very nice vibe to it as well.

The location is far from Ugata station, which I knew, but I had to take a taxi there and back which was an extra 4200 yen. I was expecting to take the shuttle, which I emailed about but never got a response from the property. When my check-in time approached and I still didn't receive a reply, I decided to call to ask. Although there is no mention of this on the website, the staff told me the shuttle is only for guests that have reserved meals at the hotel, which makes no sense to me. For the cost of the taxi I could've paid for the meal at the hotel and gotten the shuttle and not had to spend extra on a meal out. Secondly, the room I had was right beside the "play room", and there is a window with washi paper facing out onto it and no curtains. The lights in the play room are always on, so my room was very bright all night and I had to sleep with a yukata over my face to make it dark. I would advise bringing a sleep mask just in case.

This is a cozy old Ryokan. We stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast. The room we had overlooked the bay, and was beautiful both at night and morning. The have a very nice huge bathhouse split between women and men. We were there on a Friday night and the spa was empty. We had it to ourself on our respective sides and enjoyed the hot water. It was kind of funny as crabs live between the floorboards given how close to water the inn is. I almost got a heart attack when showering when one tried to get friendly with me, but ultimately he became my companion and I watched them curiously as I bathed

The food was ok, not the greatest but very decent, local certainly. Staff was very kind but felt a little fazed at needing to speak English at reception.

檜風呂

One of the greatest spot we stayed!!!

Posizione, atmosfera, cena e colazione con pesce fresco, onsen in legno sul mare, cordialità dello staff,

Cet endroit est tout simplement un petit paradis au bord de l’eau. Les équipes sont absolument adorables, et les équipements de très bon niveau. Le rapport qualité prix est excellent.

Le lieu du restaurant est très agréable, les repas sont copieux et bons. Navette gratuite proposée pour un aller et retour depuis la gare,ce qui est appréciable vu l'isolement de l'hôtel.

La chambre où nous étions logés était située dans une annexe moderne imitant certes la tradition (tatamis et futon) mais elle était absolument sans charme et sans vue agréable. L'o-furo qui était l'un des points d'attraction de cet hôtel sur les photos était hors service sans que nous en ayons été informés. Ce lieu est vraiment fait pour ceux qui ont une voiture. Le gérant, qui nous a aidés lors de la maladie de notre fils, peut sans doute appeler un taxi pour les déplacements mais cela reste peu pratique. Pour toutes ces raisons, nous avons trouvé que le rapport qualité prix n'était pas satisfaisant.

英虞湾の静かな辺りにある木造建築の宿。ゆったりのんびり過ごせるところです。宿の人も皆親切で優しい。お料理2食付きでお値打ち。地元食材を活かした和食が楽しめます。

部屋は木造の民宿レベルなので、隣の声が筒抜けです。運悪く隣室が中年男性グループで、何度もドアの開け閉め音が続き、話し声が響き、挙げ句の果てに大きな声いびきが朝まで聞こえ続けました。 イヤホン持ってきていてよかった。。宿泊施設場所の配置に配慮が欲しかったです

ご飯はとても美味しいです！

海沿いの部屋のイメージがありましたが、宿泊は廃屋になってる建物が周りにあり 最初見たときは不気味でした その辺はイメージと違ったところでした

海辺のロケーションと部屋の檜の香りがとても良かったです。部屋が思ってたよりも広かったのも良かったです。

食事のボリュームがもう少しほしかったです。

perfect place for quiet and authenticity all people are super nice food is great location is a you see onsen is super iwould go back anytime and eill recommand to all no hesitation take aboat tour of the bay breafast and diner are stunning

This is a beautiful property right at the waterfront. The family running this place is very friendly and will pamper you. We did stay in one of the bigger buildings meant for group stays , but had individual rooms and even our own bathroom. Onsen is in a different building and very nicely kept. Breakfast and dinner were plentiful. A lot of food, and fresh from the water grilled right in front of you. We also liked that they had a washing machine and a dryer for guests to use. Property is a little bit off the beaten path and there is not much to do in walking distance, but it's a great place to start day trips and explore the National Park.

The facility is located in a beautiful and peaceful natural environment, surrounded by wood and sea. The buildings themselves are well designed in order to integrate in the landscape. Inside, the room we were in was very big, traditional style, clean and with an amazing view. The welcoming and the staff is the best experience I’ve ever had. The onsen is a special place. The food, together with the restaurant location, is great.

Everything was perfect.

とても素晴らしい景色で、満足でした。また、行きたいと思いました。

An idyllic remote and stunning way to end our Japan vacation. Away from the hustle and bustle a true Japanese experience overlooking the Ago bay. We were well looked after by the team at Hiogiso who were so lovely. The food was delicious and on-site onsen an added bonus. We also enjoyed a sunset cruise from super host Takanobu. Could not recommend this place enough and exactly what we were looking for.

We loved everything. The mattresses were a little thin but they had the option to add an extra layer thankfully. They were also very accommodating to dietary needs especially those of our son.

Location was amazing, very comfortable room, the onsen is beautiful, food was really good and people very kind.

Staffs very good service mind, amazing dinner

The mattress feels dusty.

Both breakfast and dinner each day were truly lovely. It included interesting local seafood and it was a unique experience for us. The waterfront setting was stunning…being able to walk out on a pontoon over the water right off your bedroom was something you don t see every day. The onsen had a real focus on timber and it was well worth partaking in. Overall our hosts looked after us so well and we were really sad to have to leave.

The shoji screens are quite traditional….but they really don’t do much to block out the light so sleeping in isn’t really an option.

Everything. The location is amazing. Daily breakfast and dinner were sumptuous. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Nothing.

The owners were there to greet us and were very attentive to our needs. Breakfast and dinner was very good. The setting by Ago Bay was amazing and the owner took us a good boat ride to an almost deserted island which was very enjoyable. The owner was also available to drop us off at the train station on our departure. An overall great experience and we would recommend Hiogiso to any traveller.

Fantastic hotel, service was very good and we loved our sunset cruise! We had an amazing room with a huge terrace overlooking the water

Rustic and unique location

Onsen and food

Great hospitality. We got more food than we could eat. Friendly staff. The highlight was the location right on the water in beautiful natural surroundings and fishing spot. The onsen was also great.

Room was quite basic and without much of a view.

I stayed for one night during a three-day weekend in October with my 12yo daughter. The staff were very helpful and friendly, despite being quite busy. Our room was perfect for us with its own shower and toilet (we are not shared-bath fans, but I heard the onsen is lovely). The food (dinner and breakfast are included in the price) was absolutely amazing. The seafood, in particular, was delicious and the portions were generous, to say the least! We had several dietary requests (which I called about a few days before we arrived) and they had prepared special dishes for us (nut-free chawamushi and mixed rice for my daughter, meat-free nabe for me) as substitutes that were much appreciated! The dock was a bit rickety, but we enjoyed wandering out and watching the fishing boats. They were very family-friendly and accommodating and the location was lovely.

There was a bit of hallway noise, perhaps a carpet in the hall could help. But it was quiet at night.

Amazing location away from everything. The food was stunning.

The food was amazing and the chance to use the baths was great. Great hospitality from the staff.

家族で宿泊なんですが、娘家族と息子家族、3家族、一部屋だけ離れてしまい、少し大変でした。 部屋はタバコのニオイが気になりました。

The food was very tasty! The balcony around our rooms was nice for our 20months old child to run and for us to enjoy the view while he was running. The play room was a hit with our child. That allowed us to play some table tennis, while our son played with cars next to us. He also learnt to swing on his own there because the standing swing is so close to the floor :) So we recommend this place with a small child. The host spoke very good English and the personnel was very nice in general. But you need a car, there is no way to go to nice places around otherwise. The wood and wooden smell is very nice! The onsen was nice but not the most impressive onsen I've been too.

ゆったりとした部屋で従業員の方もとても良くのんびり出来た。また泊まりたい。とてもおすすめ！

旅行サイトなどでの口コミはあまり良くなかったので、正直不安でしたが、想像以上に良かったです。 接客も丁寧で良い思い出になりました。

桧の香るお風呂でした。 宿の方も温かく迎えてもらい、お部屋も広々、アメニティも揃って食事も海の幸を美味しく頂きました。伊勢のゆっくりした時間を満喫できました。

Very good place. Local good and onsen

写真で見るのとは違って本物のほうが断然よかったです。嵐が来ていましたが、次の日はカラッと晴れ、海も楽しめました。次回は直接電話予約をして 海の見える部屋をお願いします。お風呂も改装中でしたがすごくよかったです。

A wonderful and unique place. Difficult to say what we preferred best: the fantastic view, the delicious and sophisticated food prepared by a first-class chef, the hospitable and gentle owners and their staff, the excursions that could be easily made from the hotel (also by boat!)....

This hotel is on a quiet inlet of the bay away from the day to bustle of the nearby village. A great place to go for downtime, with excellent food.

Great location and great view of the sea. Great value for the price.

Beautiful, peaceful spot right on Ago Bay. Delicious fresh food, friendly staff, great onsen, spotlessly clean. Awesome stay.

Been around Japan and still the best place to stay. Would travel the world over for another chance to visit

C'est super, beau, propre, personnel au top et Onsen de grande classe - tres recommande

雖然旅館較偏僻，但是環境非常美麗，可望無際海境，令人心廣神怡，而旅館服務員殷勤招待，讓我可享用豐富及精美晚餐和早餐

Quiet Far away to the centre The dog is very lovely and she always wait for guest to open the glass door !!! The staff is helpful and nice even they cannot speak English so well (but communicable), and a staff is from Taiwan (but do not know the situation of her, maybe just holding working visa to start a temp. Job in Japan) Highly recommended but please do not drive to there if your driving skill is not good enough

Its not only a room but a suite, very comfy beds, very nice sea view as well. Good quality & delicious breakfast & dinner. Eventhough the location is a bit far away from the city center & Ugata train station but pick up service to and fro the train station could be arranged in advance. Would like to come to Shima once more and for sure would stay in this hotel again.

Familjärt, naturskönt beläget, fantastisk mat. Omtanke i varje detalj.

dépaysement calme

This is the BEST experience during my trip in Japan this year. The owner couple are so friendly,and make me so warm even I'm on the vacatio alone. I will recommand all my friend to visit this resort again.

Cet hôtel présente d'excellentes prestations, le personnel est très agréable et aux petits soins aux moindres requêtes. Petit déjeuner et dîner exceptionnel typique japonnais. Chambre très confortable et spacieuse. Bien équipée. Vue magnifique, je vous conseille virement cet hôtel.

Jeg havde to overnatninger på denne fantastiske ryokan. Den ligger lige ned til vandet og man kan se ud over hele bugten. Maden var fremragende og baderummene var store og flotte. Hiogiso ligger ca. 10 minutters kørsel fra den nærmeste station, men personalet kan sørge for at man bliver transporteret frem og tilbage. Jeg kan varmt anbefale Hiogiso hvis man vil prøve at bo på en traditionel ryokan i smukke omgivelser.

雰囲気のある良いお宿でした。

環境美麗, 酒店人員熱情招待, 還為我和太太升級至海景房間, 建議各位有意入住人士, 選擇包餐, 因酒店距離商店很遠.

ご主人が出して下さるサンセットクルーズは…夕日が沈むまでゆっくり…と。気分良いまま、すぐに夕食が食べられて幸せでした。奥さんも…きちんと顔と名前を覚えてて下さって、温かかったです。とてもいい旅行になりました。

by far the best experience we have had to date in Japan, the owner was extremely kind and helpful and made the entire experience marvelous. we stayed for two nights and ate at the restaurant for both. The cooking was comparable to Michelin thee star restaurants and is not to be missed. Our room was upgraded to a suite overlooking the aga bay on both sides and could not have been more comfortable. The Japanese style room was impeccable and extremely comfortable, with a terrace overlooking the bay. The best part was the hospitality of the owner, Takanobu, who was extremely helpful and generous. One night we were the only guests there so we had the onsen all for ourselves. The second night he had a group of 30 people and closed off the onsen to other guests as well, an experience not to be missed. We also took a boat ride the second night and got a tour of the bay. Overall the experience was extremely relaxing and much needed after a week of temple touring in the Kyoto area. If I could give ten stars I would give eleven!

It is a traditional Japanese hotel, a bit old. No private bathroom. Meals are not the best but acceptable.

This is a traditional Japanese Inn type lodging. The view is spectacular and the environment is very much reminiscent of "old Japan." It's best to order the room with the meal plan because there are no restaurants nearby. The food is typically Japanese and fresh from the area. The hot spring bath is very comfortable and offers a view of the sea. They still cultivate oysters in the making of cultured pearls in the sea. The service is very friendly and they speak some English.

正宗和式一宿二泊，無敵大海景，水質清澈，環境寧靚，非常舒適。

Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit dort. Herr und Frau Watanabe sind sehr sehr freundlich, nett und zuvorkommend, das Essen ist ausgesprochen köstlich, das Onsen ist super und unser scönes Zimmer war riesig (Wohn- und Schlafbereich getrennt) mit Blick auf die Meeresbucht. Die Abholung ist verlässlich und uns wurde jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Ein ausgezeichneter Ort für Erholung von den hektischen Großstädten!

Lovely place to dream and rest. Gorgeous food. More than friendly staff.

Väldigt trevligt par som driver hotellet, och mannen kan tala engelska. Väldigt personligt och nyligen renoverat värdshus. Trevligt bad med havsutsikt. Vissa rum har altan vid bryggan. Ägarna har en båt på vilken man kan boka in sig på en fantastisk solnedgångskryssning. Rekommenderar att boka in frukost och middag på värdshuset. Maten är gudomlig! Nära till Ise och andra sevärdheter.

Loge sur un petit port prive magnifique, onsen au top, chambre avec vue superbe et dîner 3 étoiles pour 30€. A ne pas rater dans cette région magnifique

リワードを利用して家族四名一泊山側部屋でお世話になりました。湾に面した宿で、幹線道路から対向不能の坂道をずーっと降りた先にありました。ほんとに静かで、ぼーっとゆっくりしたい人は癒される要素盛り沢山です。特に檜づくしの大浴場は最高でした。別棟なのでお風呂も食事も下駄をはいて中庭を移動します。夜は、一人でお風呂に行くのは、ちょっと怖いくらいに静かでした。料理は、朝食はお重に入った手作り満載で美味しかったです。夕食は、品数と量は多かったですし、美味しいですが、このエリアの特産のカキやサザエ、伊勢海老、新鮮な刺身などのようなものはないです。お刺身は少々、小さなカニや貝、アオサはありました。料理旅館と思うとがっかりするかもしれません。温かい家庭的なもてなしです。食事処の隣の広いデッキにはブランコや卓球台などがあり、木で出来ていて、とても素敵な空間で、かわいいワンちゃんもいて癒されました。 苦言としては、コインランドリーが壊れていて使えないと言われたことと、23キロの大型スーツケースを持って、ひどく急で狭い長い階段を部屋まで搬出入するのが大変でした。特にその階段の下りは怖くて、身の危険を感じました。あちこちに節電を呼び掛けるステッカーがありましたが、せめて荷物を搬出入する時くらいは、業務用？のエレベーターを使えるようにしてほしいです。 部屋は、和室が3部屋つながってて、とても広くてゆったり出来ました。

We had a very relaxing stay and felt that the owners of the inn were enjoying the rather hard business of operating an inn.

Located directly on the Ugata bay (the U in Ugata means cormorants which you will see around the bay). We had a nice surf & turf dyi barbecue with local seafood. The friendliness of Watanabe Takanobo-san was one of the highlights of our holiday - very open minded and interested in the guests. He is also an expert in pearls. The hotel is family oriented (play area for kids on terrace). Helps if you like dogs (we do) because the hotel has 3 of them. Recommend doing a boat trip directly from the hotel. Enjoyed the hot spring baths next to the water. Would like to spend more time in the area but would definitely take a car. Traditional rooms with futon beds. Very relaxing stay.

This was our first (and best) place we stayed in on our 10 day trip to Japan. After some pre-planning accessing the hotel was easy despite it's somewhat remote location: from Nagoya airport we took a speed boat to Matsusaka and then Kintetsu train to Ugata, where we were picked up by the hotel owner. We had a traditional tatami room with a beautiful view over the bay. We made a day trip to Ise temple area by train - owner kindly drove us to the train station and picked us up after the trip. Food was excellent - even breakfasts were like mini-kaiseki dinners. The whole experience was wonderful and authentic.

Die Besitzer sind sehr nett! Wir haben umsonst ein Bootsfahrt bekommen und das Essen war perfekt!

This ryokan has a wonderful view overlooking the ocean, the room that we stayed in was quite large with a separate sleeping area, living area and bathroom. The meals, both breakfast and dinner were excellent. The owners were very helpful and picked us up and dropped us off at the train station every day while we were touring around the area. We often stay in ryokans when we visit Japan, and this one would receive my absolute highest rating.

Beautiful hotel right on the waters of Ago Bay, with sweeping views from both our room and the indoor / outdoor onsen. Everything is made from gorgeous cypress wood. The ryokan owners and staff were so kind to us - picking us up at the train station, driving us to a lookout point, and sharing their love of Japan. (They can communicate in English too!) We had a wonderful, massive course dinner and lovely bento breakfast filled with local specialties and sea foods. It was so relaxing to sit on the deck and pet their nice dog while watching fishermen check their nets. It takes a bit of time to get here - but once you do you won't want to leave. The only thing we regret is not staying longer... Next time!

Free private transfers, attitude, service excellence, comfort and beautiful panorama

最寄駅からは遠いですが送迎してもらえます。朝ごはんを食べながらの朝日は感動的な美しさでしたし、宿の方もとても親切で観光の相談に乗ってくれました。犬好きの方なら看板犬のマドレーヌちゃんに癒されます！！ご飯もとっても美味しかった！またリピートしたいです。

We had a fantastic time at Hiogiso.(Shell) Hotel owners could not have done more to make us welcome. Beautiful location right on edge of the inland sea.

元真珠の養殖をおこなっていた家が旅館に変わったそうですが、オーナーが外国生活経験者なので、日本旅館ではあるが、細かいところに、洋風の匂いが感じられた。たとえば、木のブランコ、木の卓球台、など。 露天風呂から眺める海の景色は最高です。

My wife and I absolutely loved our relaxing stay, and wished we could have stayed longer. We parked our rental car in the hotel's spacious parking. We occupied the upstairs corner room with terrace and wonderful view over Ago Bay. The hotel is built on wooden stilts right on the water. You can see the famous oyster beds, boats and islands. The seafood themed multi-coursed Japanese dinner at the Bayside was delicious. There is a deck with a swing, ping pong and other games to enjoy. The cypress o-furo (hot tub) indoor and outdoor facilities with water from Ise are delightful, and are located in a building separate from the main house, next door, with view over the Bay. All facilities are kept very clean. In the early morning, I went swimming right at the guesthouse; the water is wonderful, but - beware - as getting out of the water, back on the pier is more difficult! The Watanabe couple are extremely good hosts. Watanabe-san has been in the pearl trading business for a long time, and this converted and expanded fisherman's house is his family home. His self-taught English is remarkably good. During the morning of our departure, Watanabe-san offered to take us for a boat ride, as he was bringing a family to a beach on a small island in the bay to swim, and we "tagged along". Rather than taking the quick way back, he took my wife and me for an hour along different islands. What a beautiful boat trip! I will not forget this peaceful place with its warm hospitality.

The ryokan is rather out of the way, but the proprietor brought me over in a mini van. Unfortunately, contacting him proved rather difficult, though I succeeded in the end. The view from my room, which was really two adjoining fairly big rooms, was amazing as it was just next to the bay. The food was delicious.

This is an amazing place. It is built on piers in the harbor. You can have a traditional Japanese tatami room literally 3 feet from the waters edge. This is on the site of a former pearl culturing business and in run by a husband and wife. The husband is proficient in English and both are excellent and accommodating hosts. I recommend staying in one of the corner rooms which have 2 sides facing the harbor. Also, take full board as the Japanese meals are well prepared. include a wide variety, and extremely interesting. The ryokan will provide transportation to and from Ugata Station. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I shall definitely be back.
