Suishotei

I’ve visited Toi many times, but this was my first stay at Suishotei. As soon as we arrived, the young proprietress and the staff welcomed us with bright, energetic smiles, which made me even more excited for the stay.We chose the Room called “Sasayaki” on the third floor. The large round hinoki semi-open-air bath was especially impressive. The Room had floor chairs, but since I wanted to relax more comfortably, I requested a high chair and they gladly prepared one for me. In addition to yukata and padded jackets, there were also samue loungewear, bathrobes, tabi socks, body towels, and having two bath towels per person was much appreciated. I was surprised by how high-quality the toothbrush set was, and being able to watch BS channels is rare for an Onsen Ryokan in Toi. Plenty of chilled water was provided as well.The welcome sweets and matcha service were wonderful.The in-room Onsen was kept at a perfect temperature, so I could bathe anytime; it warmed me through and left my skin silky smooth—absolutely fantastic. After soaking, opening the window let me enjoy views of Suruga Bay and the town of Toi.This time our attendant was male, but he was cheerful, attentive, and left a great impression. Thank you for all your help. We were also honored by a polite greeting from the young proprietress herself—we even had a lovely conversation that truly moved me. I’ve stayed at many Ryokan before, but this was my first time having the young proprietress come to the Room to greet us. It felt exceptional.What especially stood out were the outstanding quality of both dinner and breakfast. Taste, portion size, presentation, number of dishes—along with service—everything exceeded expectations. A variety of premium ingredients were used thoughtfully throughout in subtle ways that impressed me.Even after checkout we received an adorable houseplant as a gift and they took many photos for us—an unforgettable experience right until the very end.I had seen Reviews saying Suishotei is number one in Toi Onsen—and now I can say it’s not an exaggeration at all. This trip reminded me just how wonderful Toi Onsen is. Thank you very much to everyone on staff for taking such great care of us.

As expected from the highly-rated accommodation, we were extremely satisfied. The view from the room, the room's bath, the cuisine, and the hospitality were all top-notch. Thank you for the souvenirs and commemorative photo upon departure. We will visit again!
