The 7 Best Mie Hotels & Ryokan Close to Ise Jingu Shrine Perfect for Couples
_7_23__
Ise Jingu, affectionately known as ``Oise-san,'' has a history of about 2,000 years and is a representative tourist spot in Mie. For many people, the main purpose of their trip to Mie is to visit Ise Grand Shrine. Then why not stay near Ise Jingu and enjoy it even more? Visiting the shrine early in the morning with its solemn atmosphere is something you can only experience if you stay nearby. In this article, we will introduce hotels and ryokan near Ise Jingu that are recommended for couples.
"Ise Jingu" has been longed for since the Edo period, "Ise-san once in a lifetime." If you cross the Uji Bridge, which is the entrance to Ise Jingu, you will enter the sacred world. Surrounded by a forest of cedars, the sound of the pebbles echoing from your feet will soothe your body and soul.
If you plan to visit Ise Jingu, we especially recommend visiting early in the morning. The chirping of birds echoing in the quietness of the morning, the rising sun shining through the thick trees, the murmuring of the river flowing by the Ise Jingu Shrine... If you leave the hustle and bustle of the city and let nature take its course, you will be able to gaze at each other more slowly than usual.
In this article, we will introduce hotels and ryokan that are within an hour's drive from Ise Jingu's inner shrine and that allow you to visit early in the morning. A quiet space where time flows slowly and the whispering of nature is the perfect place to listen to each other's voices and feel the heat that travels. Why don't you go out to enjoy the extraordinary with just the two of you?
"Tsukiyomi no za" just opened in 2016. There are only 6 villas with different tastes, each with a motif of the phases of the moon. This detached inn is surrounded by the silence of Ise no Mori, and is recommended for couples who want to enjoy their time alone under the mysterious light of the moon.
The hot water for the open-air baths in each guest room comes from a source close to Sakakibara onsen, which was known as a cleansing hot spring before visiting Ise. Known as a hot spring for beauty, it has a reputation for making your skin smooth. In addition, if you apply for a couple plan, you can get a candle that can be used in the bath. The flickering expression reflected in the candle will surely excite him ♡
At Tsukiyomi no Za, which emphasizes privacy, both breakfast and in-room dining. The head chefs of 15 restaurants of the "Kaiei RYOKANS" group, which operates Tsukiyomi no Za, alternate from time to time, and you can enjoy meal that make the most of their individuality. Mie's abundant ingredients are cooked according to the seasons, and the dishes served on carefully selected plates will satisfy not only your stomach but also your heart.
The late check-out time is also a nice point for couples! It is conveniently located about 12 minutes by car to the inner shrine of Ise Jingu, so you can come back from early morning worship and relax on the terrace before checking out. Until the moment you leave the inn, enjoy a relaxing time just the two of you.

"Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites" is a world-class resort hotel with all suite rooms. Many of you may have heard about the hotel where the leaders of various countries stayed at the G7 Ise-Shima Summit 2016. Spend a luxurious time enjoying the azure panorama of the islands of various sizes and the ocean that you can see from the hotel, the supreme hospitality backed by formality and tradition, and the gently flowing "Shima time".
Among all the suite rooms, the "Corner Suite" is especially recommended. Because it is a corner room, you can enjoy the view of Ago Bay from two windows. It will catch your eye the moment you enter the room. If you step out onto the balcony and breathe in the natural air, the tiredness of your trip will melt away.
For dinner, we recommend the French restaurant "La Mer". Just looking at the traditional French cuisine, in which Mie specialties are dressed up in luxury, will make you feel enchanted. Furthermore, if you start meal just in time for the sun to set, you will be able to enjoy it while watching the sunset that paints the sky red every second.
