Tsu in Mie is a city in the heart of Japan.
Tsu’s coastal location, which takes in the Ise Bay, has given the city a rich maritime heritage which is reflected in its excellent transport connection including ferry links.
If you’re heading to Tsu to see historic sites like Tsu-jō (津城) or enjoy a journey on the Meisho railway line, I’ve got your accommodation sorted out with this round-up of five of the best hotels in Tsu!

5 Best Hotels in Tsu
These pleasant Tsu hotels have hassle-free central locations, with great access to local and regional transport links.
The delightful twin gardens of Tsu Castle and Kazahaya no Sato are fantastic throughout the summer months, and the city is a foodie destination with delicious specialties like deep-fried shrimp rice balls (Tenmusu), steamed buns with honey (Hachimitsu-man), and the world-famous Baby Star Ramen Noodles, which are produced in the city.
I’ve included accommodations at a range of price points and looked for hotels with great amenities like a decent onsen to relax in after a day of sightseeing, or late-night soba after an evening out in the city.
