Great traditional ryokan with great onsen. Fantastic breakfast and really nice staff. A must in Ise! Really worth it!

Excellent location next to Iseshi station and in front of the Sando to Ise Jingu Geku. Big room with all the basic amenities, great value for the price.

We thought breakfast was included and we waited for over an hour in the morning to find out this was not included . We wished this had been told us the night before so we could have ordered it . I actually picked this hotel because of the reviews of the exceptional breakfast . I realize it was a misunderstanding on our part but wished I had of k own ahead of time .

Very traditional Japanese Ryokan. Staff is very helpful and friendly

I've stayed in old japanese ryokans and of course the charm of the building is great. However, this one jn need of some maintenance and the smell of humidity/moisture really bothered me (staff was kind to change my room, the second one a little less stuffy than the first but still smelly), rooms not very bright, window opening to a back wall. Shared bathrooms never very clean for JP standards. Breakfast not great. Maybe I got the worst rooms, being a solo customer bur overall a huge disappointment.

Disappointing stay in this popular ryokan in Ise. Location is good (next to the station).

This was exactly the authentic traditional Japanese ryokan experience we were hoping for. With spacious rooms, lovely staff and atmosphere, and a great breakfast. All huge bonuses.

The room had a little bit of a damp smell, but luckily the window could open to air it out.

I received a really spacious room with view of their indoor garden. The toilets, wash basins, and bath are shared, but there are various toilets in the building so there's never a wait. The futon and the pillow were so comfortable! Really enjoyed my time here.

Super convenient access to the train station. Kind, prepared and professional staff. Delicious Japanese breakfast. Loved having a copy of the Kojiki in the room.

I suppose because it is an old establishment with quite a bit of history, so the insulation in the public areas aren’t that great. The public corridors were quite cold. But room was fine though.

Amazing location just beside the JR station, literally a minute’s walk from Iseshi station. We had a warm welcome from the staff and a friendly old lady brought us around the ryokan to introduce all the facilities. Room was clean and spacious and the heating worked well inside. Free laundry facilities were fantastic! They use it for their own hotel laundry too so plenty of machines to go around. The hot bath area was a godsend amidst the cold snap when we were there. It was small but there was no one when I used it so I practically had the whole place to myself! Would definitely stay again if we ever go back to Ise!

There was nothing I didn’t like, but people with issues getting up off the floor might have some difficulty, as the seating and futon are low.

This is a beautiful old building that has been lovingly kept up. The staff was lovely and helpful, and the location is perfect- close to the train station (buses also leave from here) and walking distance to shops, restaurants, and Ise Jingu Geku. Breakfast was delicious, the futon was comfy, and there is a public bath if you want to try this ( I was nervous, but I’m glad I did). It was great to experience staying in a traditional ryokan. I would definitely stay here again.

The ryokan is less than 1 min walk from the JR station and 5mins from Ise Shrine (outer). This is a ryokan with over 100yrs of history. The room is large and the staffs are very friendly. The breakfast was great. The bath was also very enjoyable especially after a day of walking.

As the heating doesn’t seem to be available 24 hours on the hallway. For guests who may need to use the restroom or take a bath during the night, it’s a good idea to dress warmly before stepping out of the room.

This hotel is a hidden gem, conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from the station—perfect for travelers who value easy access. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. For guests who don’t speak Japanese, they’ve thoughtfully prepared a clear A4 instruction guide, which is a wonderful touch. Amenities are plentiful and readily available at the front desk, adding to the convenience. Upon check-in, a friendly staff member guides you to your room, which feels like stepping back in time to 1930s Japan. The traditional architecture is charmingly nostalgic, while the facilities are modern and up to date, blending the best of both worlds. The bath area is clean, quiet, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. Overall, this hotel offers a unique and comfortable stay—I highly recommend it.

Nothing. Everything was excellent.

The location is superb, next to the train station, the Geku shrine and a charming street of lovely stores, restaurants and cafés. Breakfast was excellent. The staff was smart, gracious and helpful.

Because It’s a 90+ years wood building so, when someone walk on the wood floor you can feel and hear every steps. There is no elevator. There are many spider web (not in the room) and there are insect in my room 🥹.

The staff is so kind and helpful. The room is big and comfortable. The futon is really great. The location is the best. Near Iseshi station and bus stop, able to walk to Ise Jingu (Geku).

For westerners, the rooms smelled funny. Not bad just odd. They advertise as B&B however no breakfast was provided.

Super location less than a minute from the JR Ise station, lots of restaurants and nice stores nearby. Staff was super friendly.

I don't remember to see a shower, so you've got to go to the sento. It's an experience I am ok with, but if you didn't expect it, maybe it's good to know.

The place is located near the train station but it was calm and we didn't hear anything. It's really typical and the experience to be in a labyrinthic ryokan was really enjoyable. The sento is small but nice. You can play ping-pong or be in a massage chair. The owner even gave us towels to stay fresh during the hot summer ; they also took our luggage before and after our stay.

None, but hope they can provide typical Ryokan dinner as well.

Like the Typical Ryokan design and build. Staff was polite and speak some English. Very near to station, centre of activities Not forgetting food! It was good.
