Interesting experience! It seems that accomodation has just two rooms, so we were not disturbed by other guests. Location is close to the sea, public onsen and transportation. But it is rural, so it had some insects and wasn’t very clean. However, I would stay here again, as overal experience was great!

House was beautiful and traditional. Located inside a temple which was also amazing. It was also hot and comfortable at night. People there were so kind and I am very thankful to have met them.

We were staying with our 5 kids. It has been a most enjoyable stay. Calm and clean residence in a temple, charming old house with a big wisteria which must be very beautiful in spring. We were the only guests so we had the place to ourselves. A very pleasant and unforgettable stay.

“Incredible spot. Would recommend it to anyone.”

Charming and beautiful traditional lodge by an old shrine. Comfortable and full of character, being surrounded by nature made this a truly incredible place to say.

The hostel is located inside Taikoji Temple, near Meoto Iwa and near the bus stops going to Toba and Ise Jingu. The temple is an evacuation site, there are signs instructing how to get there, thus very easy to find the way. The price is very cheap, the rooms are separated and the bathroom, toilet and dining room are shared.

Staying in a gorgeous and old temple is just unique. It will remain one of the best places I ever stayed, not just in Japan but anywhere. (and I've been around for a while ;))

“A unique experience to be had. Great value for the price”

This is a tradition Japanese house, we had such interesting experience. The bathroom is big and clean. The owner is very friendly, he also provide sinstant noodle cup and snack with very reasonable price.

It was for sure an unforgetable experience, but not for the faint of heart. The staff was absolutely amazing.

If you want a real Japanese experience,this is your place. A mixture between traditional Japanese houses and old days life. it's literally beside a shrine. The crew was incredibly nice. Ideal to disconnect from the world and live some days of peace and quiet

“I wouldn’t recommend it as a solo female traveler, we were two girls and didn’t feel as safe as in other hostels, the wo”

The location itself, around 10 minutes from the stone shrine is not bad

“A night in a temple is as cool as it sounds”

It's an old temple so it has a really unic atmosphere. The quality price was really good, but keep in mind it won't be the most luxurious stay. The staff was really friendly, and there is a bus stop a 5 min distance (the buses are scarce so check in advance the schedule). It's really close to the sea and one of the most famous temples of the area. The internet works fine and the kitchen has a bunch of utilities you can use . The Jr station is a 15/20 min pleasant walk.

The host is so lovely and cute, although language was a tough barrier. But her lovely smiles and disposition doesn't need any translation! The room and futons were very nicely set up for us and it was a comfortable stay. Note that you will have to share the property with other guests if the other rooms are booked, and the walls are thin so sound definitely travels. Groups will need to take care of our volume! The location is definitely unique and worth a night's experience, though it is a bit remote on a hill and you definitely need a car. You'll need to get food elsewhere for sure, nothing nearby but they do provide cup noodles in the kitchen for a small fee!

“Very nice!”

Sleeping in an old temple is quite a nice experience, it had a lot of charm. The staff was very welcoming and could speak English and Japanese. The place is a bit far from any shops, but they put instant food at disposition if you forgot to buy your meal on the way. It is close to the Meoto Iwa by foot and there is a bus station just 5 minutes away. If you can sleep weel without extreme confort, you can definitely have a good time there.
