Hotel Route-Inn Matsusaka Ekihigashi

It had been 21 years since my last trip to Mie Prefecture, and it has now been two months since this trip ended. I stayed at your Hotel for my first shrine visit of the year at Ise Grand Shrine. My room was on the 2nd floor of a 10-story building, so there was no distant view—only nearby sights like the sushi restaurant (Sushiro) and National Route 166. The room was not very large, but it was comfortable and I had a pleasant night’s sleep. There is a public bath on the first floor of the Hotel, which I used, and it was wonderful to enjoy a bath while traveling. The next morning, I had breakfast in the dining area on the first floor. After that, I left the Hotel and enjoyed sightseeing. Thank you very much.

The hotel is a short walk from the station, but it's not an issue. They kindly stored my luggage before check-in, and by the time I checked in during the evening, my bags were already delivered to my room, which was very convenient. The large bath was comfortable and relaxing, helping me recover from travel fatigue. There are several restaurants around the hotel that stay open late, so finding food even at a late hour is not a problem. Crossing the railroad crossing to enjoy local sake at a small sushi izakaya near the station is also a great option. The room on the 10th floor had a great view and was very comfortable.
