10/10
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.
