 "summary": "The Hiramatsu group's original auberge (2016) has eight rooms over Ago Bay with in-room onsen and a serious French kitchen, which on food alone would outcook Yusura, the other Ise inn. It has held one Michelin Key for two straight years, 2024 and 2025. Ikyu guests are enthusiastic and specific, 4.77 over 27 reviews, with the food their highest mark; the only recurring gripe is the silent shuttle driver.",

Ikyu guests find both good, though the bath is the lowest of the marks they give here, at 4.63, and the reserved open-air bath, a walk over from the main building, is where the complaints come in."
