Overview
Founded in 1887 as a rest stop for merchants and sailors, Kaigetsu blends local history with the charm of a coastal ryokan. Located in Toba, in the heart of Ise-Shima, this ryokan brings you close to the sea in every way—from the catch on your plate to the view from your room.
Kaigetsu gives you a peaceful place to unwind in a traditional Japanese setting. The building retains a nostalgic atmosphere, like returning to a countryside home. You can relax completely and leave behind the noise of daily life.
