If you want to go to Ise-Shima with your relatives? I was introduced to him and I stayed there.I was impressed by how soft the abalone was, and the mackerel sashimi was exquisite. And the breakfast is also great.The hot spring had a lot of salt and hurt my wounds, but it made my skin feel smooth and I couldn't stop sweating even after I got out of the bath, so it was a nice bath.Best of all, the scenery is amazing.I would like to visit again.

I've stayed here many times already. The best part is the breakfast “Isomeshi”! I come here once every few years because I want to eat this. In addition, the hospitality of the hotel staff is top-notch and you can truly relax. My golden route is to stay here, visit Ise Jingu, enjoy Okage Yokocho, and then take the ferry from Toba to Irago and go to Tokyo!

It was a great trip thanks to Ijikaso.I've been to many high-end inns in the past, but they're on par with each other.The service and room were perfect, and the food was delicious.The sea water-like hot springs were wonderful and I was able to relax from the bottom of my heart.This is an inn with no faults.I will definitely try again next time.

Previously, you could smoke in the room, but now it seems like smoking is prohibited in the entire building, which is a shame.You can enjoy spiny lobster and abalone at a reasonable price, so if you don't smoke, please support us.

On a day that was the hottest day in Japan, I visited Okage Yokocho and Ichigohama in front of Ise Jingu Shrine and went to Jikasou. After sweating in the hot springs, head out for dinner. The dinner here is exquisite 😋 Starting from the fresh fish and lobster sashimi, to the butter-grilled abalone, fried foods, hot pot dishes, vinegared dishes, rice, and dessert, you will be completely satisfied. Please come and stay at least once.

It was a ryokan near the sea, and the room, bath, and meals faced the sea, and the view was great.The food was very delicious, mainly consisting of spiny lobster, abalone, and fish.

A small hotel by the sea, a little far from Ise, Toba, and Shima.There aren't that many guest rooms, so I was able to stay comfortably in a clean Japanese-style room without being crowded with people.The view from the rooms and large bath overlooking the ocean was amazing, and the food was delicious.The only downsides are that you have to eat in the dining room instead of in your room, and there is no open-air bath.There are many wonderful places to make up for it, so I would like to use it again the next time I come here.The in-house Wi-Fi spot, TV compatible with apps such as Youtube, massage chair, free private bath (advance reservation required), and other facilities were satisfactory.

Several people stayed here for one night on a cold day in mid-January when the wind was blowing violently.You can see the ocean from the windows of the guest rooms and baths. It is said that you can see from Ise Bay to the Pacific Ocean, but there is no visible boundary and the sea stretches out into the distance, and you will never get tired of just looking at the waves and the occasional boat passing by. Of course, when the sun goes down, the sea becomes pitch black and all you can see from your window is pitch black, so you can only enjoy the scenery while it's still bright. Unusually, there is a lighthouse next to the hotel, which may be why there are almost no street lights on the surrounding roads. Walking at night is not recommended as the roads become pitch black once the sun goes down.The dinner at the hotel was very delicious and the service, including the explanation of the food, was very pleasant. ``It is characterized by its melt-in-your-mouth texture and Wagyu flavor. I chose the Matsusaka beef shabu-shabu kaiseki plan, and not only the main course shabu-shabu, but all the course dishes were delicious, and my customer from China and I finished the meal while exclaiming, ``It's delicious!'' All of the breakfast was delicious, but the specialty rice was especially delicious, and I ended up having a lot of refills and was full from the morning.The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we had a very comfortable stay. This is a highly recommended hotel.

I looked for a good inn with few guest rooms and no foreigners. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, but the food and beauty were well balanced and the scenery was spectacular.Please include the staff in the chat ❤️The private bath was also free. The large bath is a little small. The hot water is perfect 👌That's right, if the weather is nice, you can see Mt. Fuji first thing in the morning! Morning oyster rice is delicious😋

Despite being presumptuous, the customer service was perfect. Reception The restaurant was polite and I had a relaxing time. The abalone, spiny lobster, and sashimi were just the right amount, and both my husband and I were very satisfied. The private bath in the room was a little dated, but it was well kept and I had a comfortable stay.There are more accommodations that I want to go to again.

The hot spring here contains salt, so it is not slippery or even a bit thorny when you soak in it.It is better to wash it thoroughly after soaking. The sunrise from the public pool with sea view is beautiful.It's a pity that there is no outdoor one.The famous bibimbap is indeed delicious, and the service staff’s attentiveness is also commendable.You can still make miso soup the next day after eating the lobster, but don’t expect too much meat. It’s more practical to order it directly from a nearby store.

Looks like Otsuka Shokai Group.This is a wonderful Western-style building located next to a lighthouse on a hill.The private bath (pictured) also has a washing area, and the hot water is very pleasant.All of the meals, including the sea bream, were delicious.Next time, I will come back to try the spiny lobster.

This hotel made me realize that the impression of a trip changes depending on the accommodation. Although it is small with 22 rooms in total, the service was attentive to every detail. …

When I visited 56 years ago, the hotel had improved. At this price, it is reasonable to have a hot spring and sauna. Also, I was impressed by the selection of Mie prefecture's famous sake, and I hope to stay here again..

I used to come here sometimes. The sea rice in the morning is delicious as always, and the spiny lobster and abalone in the evening are also delicious.I hope I can come again.

I have used it several times.The front desk, rooms, and bathrooms are clean and have a very good impression.The staff were attentive and had great customer service, and I had a comfortable stay.You can see Ise Bay from your room, bathroom, front desk, observation deck, and anywhere else.The meals are made with seafood, and the morning sea food and miso soup with lobster are so delicious that even I, who don't eat a lot of breakfast, end up having to refill them several times.I am always healed by the atmosphere of the hotel.If you have never been there, please try it at least once!
