I loved the interior design and atmosphere. The layout is great and cozy. There enough amenities such as microwave, fridges and hot water, along with a reading corner and nice view of the street. The staff and very friendly and approachable. There's really no downside to staying here as it's convenient, near to the station and Ise Jingu. I like that there's a personal storage box at each bed, a small shelf and a light. You can tell they really thought of the travelers needs. There's a lock on the front door with a passcode for late entry.

There's no real downsides. Maybe if you have a lot of luggage or a big bag. It might be difficult to carry up the narrow stairs. There's no real place to put it other than just outside your bed area or you can leave it at the counter. However, the counter is unmanned throughout the late night to morning.

I loved the architechture of the place. Very quaint. The common space was well equipped for cooking. Being 5 mins walk from one of the main shrines is also handy. A 25 min bus ride to the other large shrine. The beds were comfy and the cubby holes roomy. The available washing machine and roof top drying was also appreciated.

An extra top sheet between me and the covered quilt would have been nice. It appeared that the douvet covering the quilt is not changed between guests. The room, like all Japanese Hosels is kept quite warm, so a sheet would allow for a cooler sleep.

The gentleman at the service counter was very friendly and helpful. I had lost a personal belonging and needed to use a japanese landline phone to contact other hotels who would receive my personal belongings at a later date. The gentleman was kind enough to lend me the phone for as long as I needed and was able to assist in translating my questions to other japanese speaking people. The guest house is small and quiet, the upstairs kitchen has many ameneties, books, and board games. There is also a kettle, microwave, and freshly made breadrolls to purchase for only 100JPY, as well as free tea and water to fill up mugs provided by them.

The guest room we stayed in was a bit too cramped. A booking for 3 adults landed us in a room with a bunkbed and a futon was provided for the third person to sleep on the floor. Not extremely uncomfortable, though tall people may struggle to sleep straight on the futon as there is not much floor space.

The place is beautiful and the location is excellent. The guest house is next to the Isesshi train station and and bus stop. You can walk to Ise Jingu Geku or very easily take a bus to Naiku. If you wanna go to the Shima Spanish Village is only a bit over an hour away and very convinient. Near the hotel there are multiple shops, coffee places and restaurants to get food and a family mart is only 5 mins away by walk. The staff is very nice and helpful and the place is kept very clean (for the most part). The have bread for 100 yen, which varies everyday on the type, and coffee and tea for free, so breakfast can be had at the hotel.

The only thing I found somewhat dirty was the showers, as they appeared to not be deeply cleaned. They offer free shampoo, conditioner and bodywash, but it is the foam type that in my experience does not really work very well, so I recommend to bring your own if possible. Keep in mind it gets quite hot inside the capsule rooms, even with the aircon on. Also they have towels and toothbrush sets but they are not free. Didn't really bother me to pay a bit for them, but just something to keep in mind in case you then prefer to bring your own towel.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly! The location was perfect- close to the station and Ise Jingu outer shrine with plenty of choice of restaurants nearby. Having rental bikes available was ideal and they were very cheap to rent for the day. The design of the place was clean and comfortable but still had a nice quirky type of design. Loved that there was manga available to read in the kitchen area. I was sad we only stayed one night!

Nothing- it was perfect!

A 5 minute walk from Iseshi Station. The staff, especially the staff member Mizuki, are incredibly kind and speak great English. The guest house has a small kitchen and free coffee, tea etc. There is also fresh bread for ¥100 that they get from a local bakery every night. If I ever come back to Ise I will definitely choose Guest House Kazami again!

It is a rather small space and it was hard to sleep due to other guests snoring, so maybe bring ear plugs. Also the conditioner bottle was empty.

Well located. Close to the train station. Close to the mall. Close to the temple complex which is a lovely serene location of flower gardens, spring-fed ponds and ancient trees and of course the temples. We had a private bunkbed room which is on the ground floor and pleasant. I'm not into dorms anymore and from what I could see upstairs of the dormitory, it was definitely not my scene.

Coffee had "run out". No soap in the toilet.

The hostel is very close to the train station and is in an area with plenty of restaurant options. The staff, Mizuki, is very kind and friendly, helped me with all my questions and recommended several cool restaurants, which I loved. The hostel has a unique architecture, it reminded me of a tree house, the beds are comfortable and it is very clean.

Unfortunately, some guest at the hostel stole my sandwich and sushi roll that were in the fridge with my name e room number. I know it wasn't the hostel's fault, but it was quite inconvenient.

Short walking distance from the Ise Outer Shrine that we came to visit, with frequent bus service from there to the Inner Shrine. Property is clean with friendly helpful staff. Wooden installations.

Expensive for what you get. All amenities (towels, drinks, bread for breakfast, etc.) must be paid for. Except for five rooms on the ground floor, the upper two floors are dormitories. No in-room furniture for computer workspace (have to use the common lounge). No staff at reception between check out and check in. Luggage needs to be temporarily left in the non-secured reception area. Nearby Comfort Hotel was offering better value and comfort at the time.

Perfectly comfortable with good facilities. Friendly staff who are happy to recommend nearby areas. Shared shower rooms were clean. We stayed in the private rooms, love the design of the whole building. Very close to the train station. Note that the common space (lounge/living room) has a lights out timing. It didn't bother us as we had private rooms, but those staying in the dorm may want to know in advance.

The number communal shower rooms may feel limited when fully booked in peak seasons.
