A grand luxury resort to experience historical romance at Ise
Saiō-no-Miya is a resort inspired by the imperial culture of the Saio,
imperial princesses sent to serve the sun goddess Amaterasu at Ise Grand Shrine,
and by the legendary Saikū court, once known as a “phantom palace.”
We have faithfully recreated their dazzling world.
Here, you are invited to step into the role of a Saio
and embark on a graceful journey through time
amid the mystical forests of Ise.
To satisfy guests who seek refined and delicate flavors,
we carefully select seasonal ingredients from Ise-Shima
and craft each dish with exceptional precision and care.
Please enjoy the signature creations our head chef proudly presents.
We offer three refined types of guest rooms,
each featuring a private open-air bath and a canopy bed.
Indulge in a luxurious and tranquil stay.
