Plenty of hot water, a giant TV, and cosy futon beds. Tiny mini refrigerator, electric kettle, a microwave, and FamilyMart about 400m away. The self check-in is very convenient, but just be aware that rooms are in a two-story, older, nondescript apartment building in an area without many street lights. It's a perfectly safe, nice, quiet area, and it's obvious once you know where you're going, but I had some trouble actually finding the stairs/door when I arrived late in the evening. The host very kindly answered the phone when I called and made sure I knew where to go. The apartment is labeled as Arashima Inn on Google Maps and there's a big painted sign on the (dark) side of the building saying Arashima Guest House.
Just a 4-minute walk from Hinatahama Beach and 300 yards from Dolphin Island, 桃源郷２ features accommodations in Toba with a terrace.

Interesting atmosphere of an old Japanese house. It had spooky atmosphere, I was expecting some ghosts to come in the middle of the night to look if I have some sushi inside my bag. Or soul.

It's an authentic experience if you want to stay in a japanese temple. It's nothing luxurious but good enough.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
I fell in love with the city and the stay at this guest house was really nice ! All the modern amenities, really clean and the host is really passionate about his house and making the guests comfortable.
I had a great stay here - the place was in a great location to explore Meoto Iwa and to go to Ise and Toba. The guesthouse was very very clean and also very comfortable, with so many facilities available, and incredibly, all run by one person! The host is very friendly and helpful, thank you for your kind hospitality and amazing work in running the guesthouse, I recommend others to stay here if exploring in the area!
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.
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.
It’s a nice, cute place, quiet as well. I had a nice and Comfortable room with a nice view on the sea. Enjoyed the small onsen. Close to the beach, close to the wedded rocks, close to the station and easy to get from there to Ise shrine. Friendly host!
Good location by KINTETSU stations, in a quiet, traditional neighbourhood with pharmacy, supermarket, FamilyMart around. The house itself is a traditional Japanese building, well-preserved and refreshed, with modern toilet, bathroom, kitchen, living room and facilities. Decorations make it feel warm and homelike. The host is warm-hearted, and resolves our problems quickly. We just felt as in a time travel back to the old time.
