More Than Just AccommodationTorch Experience Ise is more than a place to stay.We believe the best memories of traveling are created not only by visiting famous places, but by sharing everyday life with local people.Our home is located just a few minutes from Ujiyamada Station in the heart of Ise.Guests stay in the same home as our family and experience ordinary Japanese life through conversation, shared meals, neighborhood walks, and simple daily moments.Unlike a hotel, this is a place where you can slow down, relax, and experience Japan from a local perspective.Whether you would like to spend time together or simply enjoy your own private schedule, we always respect your preferred style of travel.Our hope is simple—to make your stay feel less like checking into accommodation and more like visiting friends in Japan.宇治山田駅から徒歩約5分の一軒家を拠点に、日本の家庭で暮らすような滞在を提供します。
交流を楽しみたい方も、自分の時間を大切にしたい方も、それぞれの過ごし方に合わせて滞在していただけます。
Cook Together, Eat TogetherFood is one of the easiest ways to understand another culture.Guests can join our family in preparing everyday Japanese meals using local ingredients.Cook homemade okonomiyaki together.Make rice balls for breakfast.Enjoy seasonal vegetables and simple family recipes.Nothing is prepared as a performance.This is simply how our family enjoys everyday meals, and we invite our guests to become part of that experience.Many guests tell us that cooking together became their favorite memory in Japan because they experienced something they could never find in a restaurant.Meals are not only about food—they are about conversation, laughter, and sharing cultures around the same table.お好み焼きなど、日本の家庭料理を一緒に作り、食卓を囲みながら交流を楽しめます。
レストランでは味わえない、日本の家庭の日常を体験できます。

Discover Hidden IseForget guidebooks for a while.If you would like, we can introduce you to places where local people actually spend their time.A neighborhood supermarket.A local farmers' market.A small family-run izakaya.A quiet café.A public bath.Seasonal events.These ordinary places often become the most unforgettable memories of a trip.Rather than following a fixed tour, we introduce places based on your interests and travel style.Some guests enjoy shopping at local markets.Others simply enjoy walking through quiet neighborhoods and discovering everyday Japan.We hope you will experience the side of Japan that many visitors never have the chance to see.ガイドブックには載っていない、地元の人が普段利用するお店や産直なども、ご希望に合わせてご案内します。

Why We StartedTorch Experience Ise began with our own travels around the world.While visiting many countries, we were helped again and again by local people.Someone showed us the way when we were lost.A family invited us to share a homemade meal.Strangers recommended their favorite cafés, restaurants, and hidden places that never appeared in guidebooks.Those small acts of kindness became the memories we treasured most.They taught us that the best part of traveling is not only seeing famous places, but meeting local people.When we returned to Japan, we wanted to create the same experience for visitors coming here.Not as tour guides.Not as a hotel.But as local people welcoming guests into everyday life.If someone visiting Japan leaves with the feeling,"The people I met were my favorite part of Japan."then we feel we have returned a little of the kindness we once received while traveling ourselves.世界を旅した私たちは、海外で道に迷ったとき、食事をごちそうになったとき、地元の人に助けてもらった数え切れない経験があります。
その恩返しとして、今度は日本を訪れる旅行者に、観光だけではない温かい出会いや日常を届けたいという思いからTorch Experience Iseを始めました。
