Hotel a Ise

The location is very convenient whether you're traveling by JR or driving. The hotel annex has a parking lot downstairs with plenty of spaces. You can get a discounted parking rate when you check out at the front desk with your parking ticket, and it's not expensive at all for 24 hours. Plus, the hotel is right near Ise Grand Shrine's Geku (Outer Shrine), so you can visit there before picking up your car to go to the Naiku (Inner Shrine). The main hotel building has a hot spring bath that's quite comfortable even with many people, and the hotel provides bath salts and lotions for guests to take, with many varieties available. The rooms in the annex are much newer, clearly recently renovated, and very spacious and clean. The staff are also very friendly.

This is a great location to stay if you want to visit Meoto Iwa at Futami Okitama Shrine while touring Ise Jingu. There is a very large parking lot at the entrance, which is very convenient for travelers driving by car. However, the bath is not a typical large public bath; instead, it features seven small private family hot spring rooms, with two designated as separate men's and women's baths. It is considered rather small for a bathhouse, so if you want to enjoy a comfortable soak, be sure to arrive early and reserve a private hot spring room.

Extremely satisfied. The environment is quiet and clean. The kitchenette is quite well-equipped with a frying pan 🍳, pots, cutting board, knife, various plates, tableware 🍴, induction cooktop, simple range hood, sink, etc. You can easily buy groceries at the market and cook all three meals without any issues. There is a tatami area for dining and a lazy boy chair area for lounging. The space is very spacious, allowing two large suitcases to be fully opened. The toilet and shower area are separated; the shower room features a bathtub and separate wet and dry areas, and the bathroom is equipped with a ventilation and drying heater, so washed clothes can be dried inside. Transportation convenience: Pulling large luggage to the station is somewhat inconvenient as there is some distance.

Very close to the train station. Room was spacious enough for a short stay. The staff was friendly. It is a great base for visiting the Ise Jingu and Meoto Iwa.
