Sumiyoshi Ryokan

A wonderful, unique, and meaningful stay for our family of four. This inn offers an authentic, traditional Japanese experience with superior care and fabulous food (you MUST add the dinner experiences!). We will remember it always.

Un Ryokan traditionnel à l'ambiance chaleureuse et antique, richement décoré, très central, au bord de la rivière. Le service est adorable et attentionné, la cuisine fine et savoureuse propose des plats traditionnels japonais. Le onsen à l'ambiance familiale est confortable. Une expérience qui marque.

Absolutely amazing

Viajem inesquecível com uma experiência única em se hospedar em um hotel típico japonês, os donos e funcionários muito simpáticos e solícitos, comida maravilhosa, tudo delicioso e a apresentação impecável, o banheiro era compartilhado nem parecia, não tivemos nem contato com os outros hóspedes, fora poder desfrutar do onsem

The owners and staff were very warm and welcoming. However, the structure was old and a little tired looking. Our sleeping room only had one electrical outlet with a lamp plugged into it. This made charging our iPhones and tablets difficult. Also, the one larger onsen was never available during our 4 day stay. Perhaps a sign up sheet with a 45 minute time slot could help make the onsen available to more visitors. On the positive side, the ryokan was well located a short distance from the train station and some interesting sights in Takayama.

Absolutely incredible, a highlight of our trip! The staff were really friendly and the food was really good. They also had an onsen which was really relaxing. Our only regret was that we didn’t book it sooner so that we could’ve stayed more than one night.

Muy buen trato y cena y desayuno muy buenos! Los dueños encantadores. El ryokan tenía dos onsen privados que podías compartir con tu familia. También estaba muy céntrico y a 15min de la estación. Muy recomendable

Unique authentic experience. We enjoyed our hosts and the property.

Incredible stay - highlight of our trip to Japan. Traditional guesthouse with great food and warm hospitality

Comfort place to stay

Thanks to the kind host, only good memories remain. The Miyagawa Morning Market and Sanmachi Historic House Preservation Area are located near the Ryokan, making it a great place to visit on foot.

This is a lovely Ryokan. Our room looked over the river and had a lovely garden just outside. The staff were lively and very well organised. Highly recommend the Japanese breakfast to start your day.

The staff were welcoming. We enjoyed the Japanese breakfast, it was excellent. The Osen was great so relaxing. I would recommend a stay at this ryokan.

Best hotel/accommodation we stayed at in Japan! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, the breakfast is delicious and the location is very convenient. The private onsen was perfect after long days of walking. Would recommend to anyone visiting Takayama!

It was the best place we had stayed at to this day! My husband and i never been to a ryokan before and the family running it were absolutely amazing! We arrived a hour late from curfew for check in which i was very worried that we would be turned away for it but we were greeted warmly and got to our room with no problems. Another worry we had was the shared bath since we have tattoos and werent sure if it was ok with the place but when we arrived we found out that it was required to lock the door for the bath so it was a relief. 10/10 I would stay here again and probably stay only at ryokans when I visit japan again as we found ourselves really missing staying at sumiyoshi.

Anfitriones muy amables, cómoda y muy amplia la habitación familiar y muy confortable el uso del onsen para relajarse después de una larga caminata

ふるきよき和風のたたずまい。先代が集めた骨董のかずかず。すばらしいものでした。

주인분께서 엄청나게 친절하시고 잘해주시고 조식도 엄청 맛나게 해주시고 설명도 잘해주십니다 진짜 제가 가본 숙소중에서 최고에요! very good thank you

In a month-long trip to Japan, this ryokan felt like coming home. The staff are friendly and warm, and the rooms have all that you need.

A fabulous ryokan! Attentive, personal, service, comfortable conveniences, all in an authentic, traditional setting. Surrounded by antiques (including in the rooms), you’ll find your hosts have a sense of humor, even as they provide excellent kaiseki! I wish we could’ve stayed longer!
