Enjoy an old-fashioned visit to Ise! "Ancient Inn Iku" is a 15-minute walk from Naiku!

■ If you want to stay overnight and enjoy your visit to Ise, this is the place!

``Visiting Ise Grand Shrine'' became so popular during the Edo period that it was said that people should visit IseJingu at least once in their lifetime.
At that time, it was common to stay overnight in Monzen-cho and enjoy the city of Ise to its fullest. Inishie no Yado Iku is the perfect inn to enjoy the Ise Shrine in the traditional way.

Naiku forest stretches out in front of you, and Oharai-Machi is just a short walk away. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Naiku of IseJingu.
It opened in 2013, when the shrine's ShikinenSengu was held. We would like to introduce you to the charms of Inishie no Yado Iku, a perfect place to visit Ise.

This is an inn that retains the atmosphere of a good old inn, but also has modern ingenuity.

Next to the front desk, there is a shop stocked with specialty products mainly from the Ise-Shima region.

The welcoming area ``Hanazakura'' serves as a space to welcome customers.
Mie Prefecture's traditional crafts, such as Ise Katagami and Ise Shunkei, are displayed, and this is a valuable space to convey the charm of Mie Prefecture.

■ A sacred forest spreads out in front of every guest room with an open-air bath!

Iku's guest rooms are characterized by a beautiful and tranquil structure that eliminates waste.
All rooms have an open-air bath, and in front of you is a forest that leads to Naiku.

The photo shows the ``Japanese Suite,'' which offers the comfort of a hotel, yet allows you to feel the soft Japanese atmosphere.

The ``Japanese Twin'' is a popular room type that is designed with functionality and convenience in mind. The atmosphere is relaxed and not formal.

■ “A wide variety of baths” with nature as a motif

There are two types of large public baths, and the men's and women's baths are switched in the morning and evening.

One of the large public baths is ``Yashiro-no-Yu,'' a cypress bath. The building has a warm feel to express the contrast with the surrounding nature. The refreshing scent of cypress fills the bath, creating a space where you can truly relax.

Another large public bath, ``Mori no Yu,'' is a rock bath.
It has a magnificent atmosphere, completely different from the ``sha-no-yu''. We hope you enjoy these two large public baths with different tastes!

In addition, the 4 types of ``private baths'' are also popular. Once you check the information signboard to see if there is space, you are free to enter as many times as you like.

The inn is famous for its variety, such as the Aochiku no Yu (top photo), which has a unique atmosphere with bamboo walls, and the Shirokinu no Yu (bottom photo), which has a soothing marble bath that retains heat. I can feel the spirit of service.

■ Dishes where you can fully enjoy the ingredients of Ise

Ise is blessed with rich ingredients such as spiny lobster, abalone, and Matsusaka beef.
The ``monthly kaiseki cuisine'' that takes advantage of the quality of the ingredients is an assortment of masterpieces. Another popular point is that you can enjoy each ingredient prepared in your own way.

Customers who finished their dinner early will be served ``Yonaki Soba'' as a late night snack, and those who finished their dinner late will be served ``Tenmusu'' as an evening snack!
I'm so grateful to be able to serve something delicious and easy to eat when I'm hungry!

For breakfast, you can choose between a Japanese meal or a Western meal.
Just like dinner, it's colorful and elegantly seasoned. You can enjoy the ``extraordinary'' experience of leisurely eating breakfast.

The restaurant ``Shozan'' not only has a spacious hall, but also counter seating for couples and well-separated group seating.
I'm happy to be able to enjoy the best food without hesitation!

When it comes to alcoholic beverages to enjoy with meals, brands unique to Iku are popular. ``Nasori'' is made with ``Isehikari,'' a variety grown in Kanda, Jingu Prefecture, and is characterized by its refreshing sweetness.

■ I am impressed by the heartwarming and attentive service!

You can visit IseJingu from 5 a.m. to both Naiku and Geku.
There are relatively few worshipers, and you can worship in a quiet and dignified atmosphere, so many people say, ``Danzen morning is the best time to visit IseJingu!''

Here at Inishie no Yado Iku, we serve Katapan and coffee as an early breakfast for those who visit the shrine early in the morning. “Katapan” is a traditional Ise food served at celebrations and festivals, and this hospitality has now become one of the “synonyms of Iku”!

*Service hours are 4:30-5:30.

This is the ``Makuradokoro'' on the accommodation floor.
You can choose your favorite pillow from a wide variety of materials and shapes! It's a bit painful when you're traveling and your pillow doesn't fit right...

I really appreciate this kind of concern.

If you go out to Tsukimidai after sunset, you can enjoy a different view than during the day.

The sight of the forest leading to Naiku gradually becoming stained by the setting sun is very magical.
It's a view that makes you feel like your mind is becoming calmer and calmer.

When you open the door on the side of the parking lot, you will find a walking path that leads to Naiku. If you want to enjoy the old-fashioned townscape, try walking along Oharai-Machi, and if you want to feel the nature of Ise, try walking along Isuzu.

Iku is attracting attention for its location where you can visit the shrine early in the morning or late in the evening, but I also learned that it offers high-quality service, so I can understand why it is so popular. I have become a fan of this inn that offers a new way to truly enjoy a visit to Ise!
