Hotel Ijika-so, Ishikiri Onsen

All the staff were kind. The meals were delicious, and the morning clam rice was especially outstanding. The Room, bath, and the entire property were clean and comfortable. The views from the restaurant and the Room were also wonderful, but one thing was disappointing: we couldn’t see the sunrise from our Room. I wonder if it would have been visible from a different Room? Other than that, it was a cozy Accommodation with nothing to complain about. Thank you for taking care of us.

I stayed here for the first time because of the great Reviews. At check-in, a staff member who seemed very experienced explained everything so politely, which really showed their high level of hospitality. For dinner, I chose the weekday-only sea bream course. The sea bream sashimi served on a boat platter offered a variety of textures, such as thinly sliced sashimi and lightly blanched pieces. It was such a generous portion that I wondered if the two of us could finish it. The chicken hot pot was also delicious. The large public bath was clean and well maintained, with a spectacular view overlooking Ise Bay. The slightly salty water kept me warm even after bathing, and my skin felt smooth as well. We also used the private family bath, but the water was too hot to soak for long. It’s difficult when you can’t adjust the temperature. We stayed in a twin room, and even with a sofa and table it still felt comfortably spacious, with an excellent ocean view. The washbasin area was a bit small, but not enough to bother me much. I would have appreciated slightly wider beds. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. The only disappointment was that my name was mistaken at checkout—leaving me with an unsettled feeling at the very end.
