9,3/10 Exceptional - Based on 3 reviews
Kashikojima Hojoen is a Japanese-style resort on Ago Bay in the Ise-Shima area of Mie prefecture, arranged around a three-storey atrium and Japanese garden. Guest rooms face the sea, offering panoramic views of the rias coastline and pearl‑farming rafts; room types range from tatami-style layouts with futons to suites with western beds. The property houses extensive leisure facilities — a large banquet hall and convention space, bowling alley, karaoke rooms and an esthetic salon — suitable for both leisure stays and group events.
The onsen draw from local springs called Asanagi no-yu and Yusanagi no-yu, and bathing options include indoor public baths, open‑air garden rotenburo with sea views, and a sauna. The water is locally noted for its soft, skin‑friendly feel. Rooms combine traditional touches with modern conveniences — air conditioning, fridge, kettle and private bathrooms — while communal areas preserve a Japanese aesthetic. For travellers seeking a ryokan with onsen Ise‑Shima, the property pairs scenic bathing with broad leisure facilities.
Dining focuses on seasonal seafood and kaiseki courses served in a waterside restaurant, with a buffet option for breakfast and lunch‑and‑bath plans available by reservation; private dining and banquet services accommodate celebratory meals and conferences. Practical amenities include a complimentary shuttle from the nearest rail station, on‑site parking and bilingual front‑desk support at peak times, and the layout suits families and multigenerational groups. The hotel offers expansive meeting and leisure facilities alongside sea‑view bathing, presenting a clear choice for travellers seeking a coastal ryokan experience and a ryokan with onsen Mie.
