    The manager was super helpful, friendly and spoke excellent English. He met us on the street, brought us in and gave us a lot of local information. The place was quiet and very close to the Ise Shrine via a quaint village with great food.

    An absolutely brilliant location, great for getting to the Naiku Jinja, or inner shrine, early in the morning to beat the crowds and/or catch the sunrise. The host was wonderfully kind and I loved the old house. Very fun.
