Exit the ticket gate at Kintetsu/JR Ise City Station (South Exit, JR side), walk to just before the rotary, and you'll see the hotel immediately to your right.
Spacious, non-smoking rooms with separate bathrooms and toilets for added comfort.
Our guest rooms are twin rooms ranging from approximately 27 to 52 square meters and can accommodate groups of 3 to 6 people. They are perfect for a variety of occasions, including family outings and trips with friends.
All guest rooms feature separate bathrooms and toilets. The bathrooms also include a separate shower area, allowing you to fully relax and unwind after a long day of travel.
Fully equipped amenities & pillow bar
Basic amenities such as toothbrushes are provided in the guest rooms, but we also offer additional basic cosmetics and bath salts for use in your room's bathroom.
You can choose from three types of health pillows, different from the pillows provided in your room, on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also choose from two heights: "high" and "low."
You can use the large public bath at the Sanco-Inn Ise City Main Building.
The large public bath is available from 3 PM to 2 AM and from 5 AM to 9 AM, and you can go to the main building wearing the pajamas and slippers from your room.
Please bring towels from your room when using the facilities.
The artificial hot spring bath is effective for "neuralgia," "rheumatism," "stiff shoulders," "lower back pain," "poor circulation," "hemorrhoids," "poor circulation before and after childbirth," and "fatigue recovery."
When using the public bath, please put your clothes in a locker and wash your body before entering and after leaving the bath. You may also bring a small towel into the bathroom, but it is considered good manners not to put it in the bathtub.
Unfortunately, we cannot serve people with tattoos (including temporary tattoos).
After enjoying the large public bath in the main building, please relax and unwind from your sightseeing fatigue with an ice pop. We offer four flavors: soda, melon soda, lemon soda, and cola.
Luxurious views from the guest rooms
Guest rooms and the sky lounge offer panoramic views of Ise City. Some rooms even offer views of the Outer Shrine of Ise. (Photo is for illustrative purposes only)
The Deluxe Twin Wide View room offers a spacious and open feel, allowing you to enjoy views of Ise City from your room.
Breakfast was a croissant from the famous Ise shop "Coquelicot Rouge"!
While the buffet breakfast in the main building is a great option, the Sky Lounge in the annex offers complimentary crispy, crumbly croissants from the famous Ise bakery "Coquelicot Rouge," along with coffee and juice. You can enjoy these in the Sky Lounge or even in your guest room.
5 Recommended Tourist Spots in the Ise Area Accessible from Your Hotel
Ise Grand Shrine (Naiku)
The Grand Shrine of Ise (Ise ) enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestral deity of the Imperial Family. Located Kawakami of the Isuzu River River, which originates from Mount Kamiji and Mount Shimaji, it is considered the "guardian deity of all Japanese people." Crossing the Uji, the entrance to the Naiku, and proceeding along the long, gravel-paved path, you enter the sacred grounds. A quintessential Japanese landscape, often referred to as the "spiritual homeland," unfolds before you. (Approximately 20 minutes by bus from the hotel (Mie[55] bound for Naiku-mae))
Okage Yokocho and Oharai-machi
Okage Yokocho and Oharai-machi opened in 1993 in the heart of Oharai-machi, the temple town in front of the Inner Shrine of Ise, as a way of expressing gratitude for the blessings of Ise. You can find souvenirs, street food, and everything else you need. (Approximately 20 minutes by bus from the hotel (Mie[55] bound for Naiku-mae))

Toyouke Daijingu (Outer Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine)
Toyouke Daijingu (the Outer Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine) enshrines Toyouke Daijingu, the god who presides over food and grains. Established 500 years after the founding of the Inner Shrine in Yamada , Ise , it is considered the guardian deity of all industries, including clothing, food, and shelter. Passing through the torii gate and walking along the verdant path on the gravel, you'll be filled with a refreshing feeling. (10-minute walk from the hotel)
Kawasaki Merchant House
At the Kawasaki Merchant Museum, a streetscape reminiscent of the past stretches for about 1km along the Tagawa, showcasing its charm as a new tourist attraction in Ise where the past and present blend seamlessly. (15-minute walk from the hotel)
Meotoiwa (Married Couple Rocks)
Meotoiwa (Married Couple Rocks) is a popular tourist spot in the Futami Ise City, Mie Prefecture . Located at Futami Okitama Shrine, the Meotoiwa are two rocks nestled together, a scenic spot known as a symbol of matchmaking and marital harmony. (Approximately 40 minutes by train and on foot from the hotel)
Futami Okitama Shrine has long been considered a place where people performed "misogi," a ritual to purify their minds and bodies before visiting Ise Shrine. It is said that in the past, people would purify themselves with seawater from nearby Futamiura before heading to Ise, and it is also considered the gateway to the Ise pilgrimage.
