torch合同会社のプレスリリース
Rather than offering a typical hotel experience, we invite you to slow down, discover everyday life in Japan, and enjoy the quiet beauty of Ise.
Spend time surrounded by nature, wander through nostalgic streets, visit neighborhood cafés and local izakayas, or simply enjoy doing nothing.
These are the moments that often become the most unforgettable memories of a journey.
Choose the stay that best matches your travel style.
Torch Stay Studio
Stay Inside a Creative Studio Surrounded by Nature
Located between the Inner and Outer Shrines of Ise Jingu, Torch Stay Studio is a peaceful retreat surrounded by more than 7,000 square meters of nature.
Wake up to birdsong instead of traffic.
Read a book among vintage furniture and plants, enjoy a quiet morning coffee in the garden, or simply listen to the sounds of the forest.
There is no television here.
Instead, you’ll find space to slow down, breathe deeply, practice yoga, meditate, or simply enjoy the changing seasons.
Spring brings fresh greenery, summer is filled with deep forest colors, autumn paints the trees in warm reds and golds, and winter offers crisp, peaceful mornings.
Because of its quiet countryside location, we recommend arriving by car.
Torch Stay Home
Experience Everyday Life in Ise
Just a seven-minute walk from Ujiyamada Station, Torch Stay Home offers a glimpse into everyday life in Ise.Walk through quiet residential streets, discover family-run izakayas, traditional cafés, noodle shops, temples, and local public baths.Depending on the season, you may even hear the drums of the Okihiki Festival echoing through the neighborhood.In the morning, we prepare simple homemade rice balls using locally grown rice.
Enjoy a simple homemade breakfast prepared with locally grown rice and seasonal ingredients. Available for international guests upon request.

We are happy to welcome both.Self check-in is also available for guests who prefer flexibility.

Why Torch Stay?
The idea for Torch Stay began long before we opened our doors.
Our founder spent years traveling alone through 47 countries as a backpacker.
Along the way, it became clear that the most meaningful memories rarely came from famous tourist attractions.
They came from conversations with local people, quiet neighborhoods, unexpected discoveries, and moments that couldn’t be planned.
That experience shaped the philosophy behind Torch Stay.
We hope to share the side of Ise that guidebooks often miss.
The neighborhood café where locals gather.
A tiny family-run izakaya.
A peaceful shrine without crowds.
Old streets where everyday life continues much as it always has.
To help you explore, we also share our exclusive Torch Local Map—a collection of our favorite restaurants, cafés, bars, public baths, scenic spots, and hidden places that we personally visit.
Because we love traveling ourselves, we only recommend places that we genuinely enjoy.
About torch
Torch is a creative company based in Ise, Japan.
We operate three small photography studios and a private creative atelier, where we specialize in family photography, portrait sessions, antique kimono rentals, and cultural experiences.

Torch Stay is a natural extension of that philosophy.
We live here.

We are raising our family here.
It would be our pleasure to share a little of our everyday Ise with you.
