Ise Guesthouse Tsumugiya - Hostel

The place is conveniently located by the train stations. The neighborhood is quiet and picturesque, I recommend hanging out in the streets at night. You feel like you live in a traditional Japanese house. The balcony is nice. They provide a commented map of the places all around. The public bath is at 3 minutes walk, I recommend the experience. The hostess is a former backpacker, genuinely interested by your previous experiences and likes to share and to chat. Great feeling of hospitality.

The staff was very friendly and the owner takes care of her guests by heart. The house and the interior is also very lovely. It is like taken from a Ghibli movie! You can rent a bike to get to some sightseeing spots but you can also walk to the Iseshi-station to get access to bus and train. There are also traditional Japanese cafes, a big supermarket and a convenience store nearby. I think there are not many places who are such convenient like this hostel!

Small but cosy guesthouse. The building renovated few years ago and still had nice tastes of Japanese villa. Old but well maintained by the owner. Cooking facilities and cutlery are almost perfectly prepared. Good access to main Ise station.

Doesn’t have front desk service for 24hr. You cannot inquire between 11am and 4pm. But it’s understandable as it’s a small guesthouse.
