We loved this ryokan! Everything from the lovely family who run it to their excellent care of us while we stayed there to the amazing food which we loved trying! We had Japanese style breakfast and dinner which was amazing ! So delicious ! We loved the Onsen as well! Staying in a traditional style Japanese inn opened our eyes to Japanese culture and food which we learnt so much about! A warm thank you to Sumiyoshi Ryokan for giving us an incredible Japanese experience! We loved our stay!

A great experience. The owners were charming, the room looked out over the river, and the Japanese breakfast was outstanding.

The Room and onsen were lovely, staff were great and the food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious! A definite highlight of our holiday in Japan.

The hosts were extremely welcoming and we enjoyed a comfortable stay. The lady of the house was so kind and friendly and despite speaking little English had a great sense of humour. We ate one evening in the Ryokan and so glad we did. The traditional breakfasts were also incredible and different on the two mornings. Highly recommend staying here if you want to immerse yourself in traditional Japanese hospitality.

Everything was wonderful. So typical and authentique. The old lady taking care of us was just awesome and we truly loved her.

This accommodation was by far the best experience we had on our trip and exceeded the expectations we had. Everything was perfect and thought about in detail, including encounters with the staff, tea on arrival, food preparation, after stay service in allowing us to leave our bags and we were even given a gift when we left which was very sweet. I highly recommend this as a first choice of stay for anyone visiting Takayama.

Staff was amazing. I went there with 2 babies (2 years old and 6 month) and they helped us a lot and interacted a lot with them. The food was really good, a must get package. I can't but advise you to try this place. I know I will go again.

The ryokan was nice, exactly how it was described. We had a room with a view on the river. Japanese breakfast and diner was good, and staff very friendly. Takayama is a great place, with lots of interesting places, the morning market, the streets, old houses, many temples and a nice walking tour.

Dodo, the owner. She is really nice, the breakfast and the dinner was delicious.

This place was amazing!! The host and her family were so accommodating and eager to ensure we had the best time possible. The Ryokan is in a perfect location, with a riverside view - very traditional and peaceful, with a lovely private onsen to bathe in. We had an incredible evening meal with sashimi, soups, hida beef stew and so many little beautifully presented side dishes. Our host seemed to take great pride in how much we enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was great too - with a Japenese or continental option. The host doesnt speak much English but we exchanged emails in advance of the bookings for times of arrivals, onward plans etc with no problem. There is very little to do in Takyama in the evening, so we basically hibernated in the Ryokan and it was just lovely! Highly recommend staying here!
