Best stay we have had so far during our trip in Japan!!! The entire atmosphere of the stay was calm, warm, welcoming and peaceful. It felt like we were visiting our grandparents in Japan with the sweetest people welcoming us into this ryokan. Once we arrived they serviced us matcha tea and when we went exploring they transformed our room from a tea room to a bedroom. There is are a few shared bathrooms however they have private baths inside that were so relaxing. They gave us kimonos to wear while during our stay and we paid for breakfast which was such a wonderful experience. This ryokan gave me the Japan experience I always imagined.

Located just a 1-minute walk from popular Miyagawa Morning Market in the heart of Takayama, Sumiyoshi Ryokan offers homely Japanese-style accommodations in the historic townhouse building. Free WiFi is available at the lobby and guestrooms. This hotel was selected as one of the Top 25 B&Bs and Inns in Japan by TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Award 2015. The inn is a 12-minute walk from JR Takayama Station. Takayama Jinya, an old government building, is a 7-minute walk away, and the streets full of old merchants’ houses can be reached within a 10-minute walk from the property. Rooms are fitted with tatami (woven-straw) flooring and traditional futon bedding. A low table and a TV with satellite channels are provided. Guests can relax in the room with free green tea. Ryokan Sumiyoshi has a spacious public baths and a small Japanese garden. There are many antiques like pots and samurai armors displayed at the lobby. Carefully prepared Japanese multi-course dinner, including Hida Beef sukiyaki dish, can be enjoyed at the guest room. Guests can choose to have either Japanese or Western breakfast to satisfy their appetite in the morning.
This is our guests' favorite part of Takayama, according to independent reviews.
