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.

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.

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.

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!

This was one of the best experiences I had in Japan! It was so much fun staying in a ryokan and it was made even more special by the lovely owners! It felt like we were guests in their house as they were so helpful and kind and such wonderful service! The onsen was also amazing as you could use it privately! We had a room that looked directly onto the river which was also a bonus! I would definitely recommend!!

Highlights of this Ryokan experience: - the location and hearing the river -customer service - food - we had the Japanese breakfast each morning which was delightful - the bath - clean and relaxing We chose this Ryokan to have a traditional experience which was explempary. As others have written, the facilities are not new and so for those seeking modern furnishings/ decor, it would not suit.

The staff is nice and the place is clean, but even though I saw pictures and wasn't expecting much, my boyfriend and I were disappointed. That Ryokan is run-down. We would have preferred an hotel or auberge for the same price.

the owner (old couples) were so nice! the room was nice..bathroom was cleaned even it's a shared bathroom! the breakfast was really tasty,,,triditional japanese one...but it's bad that we were so rush in the morning to catch our bus to nakayama and couldn't enjoy it slowly.. the tatami was so comfortable!! in the end they gave us pair of chopsticks each ..~

This was by far the best stay in Japan for me so far. The interior is wonderful and intricate. The food was also extremely delicious. The owners of the ryokan are so accommodating, helped me carry my really heavy luggage. When we left, they helped us call a taxi and walked us to the main road. I will definitely be staying here again!

we stayed for 2 nigths. we just loved every minute of it. theres shared bathrooms, and shared toilets. but to be honest we did not once had to wait more than 5 minute to use any. the lady is so nice, with a very basic english they will make sure you have the best stay. they are so used to turist, and specially to non japanese speakers. i cant describe how much we loved this place. GET THE JAPANESE BREAKFAST AND DINNER!! you will not regret it. They offered us a pair of beutifual chopstick as a farewell gift.

The hosts are so very kind, welcoming and accomodating. They maintain the authentic experience of using a traditional family style inn from years past. Just be aware that bathrooms are communal, but have a nice onsen style aesthetic :)

My husband and I spent two nights here and were extremely happy about our choice. The owners of the ryokan are most gracious hosts and have a wonderful property to share with their guests. Breakfast (Japanese style) was absolutely fantastic and they even accommodated our request for vegetarian options. I'd highly recommend to anyone.

This ryokan provided us a taste of true Japanese culture. It is a little old, but the kind and always helping staff more than make up for it. The location is quite good, with the main street market at a 10 min walk, and the station at a 15 min walk. The river flows right behind the ryokan, with some rooms having the river view. There are no bathrooms in any rooms, but there are 2 big bathrooms with hot water spas which can be used privately. All in all, an amazing experience and definitely recommended.Pros: excellent hospitality, amazing staff, good location.cons: no bathroom in room, old.

Takayama was our first night ever in Japan and staying at the ryokan was a wonderful introduction to Japanese culture. The location was atmospheric right beside the river on a night of rain and thunderstorms. The staff were delightful, attentive and amusing. We enjoyed a traditional Japanese dinner prepared by our hosts. We would certainly recommend this charming little piece of Japan.

We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. The staff are warm and friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and even did our washing. In our package was breakfast and dinners which are presented beautifully, tasted amazing and was a highlight of our trip. If you want a Japanese experience close to everything this is your place. A taxi to the station was only 660yen which was arranged for us as it was snowing, but it is only a 10 min walk. If we ever come back to Japan we will be staying here.

I had a great stay at Sumiyoshi Ryokan despite missing a day due to Vongfong and cancelled JR train from Nagoya to Takayama. The owners checked me in early on arrive and provided a very nice welcome. I was extremely impressed by the dinner and breakfast; both were served in my room. I know the Ryokan had other guests at the same time, but I felt like royalty. This ryokan did not smell of smoke and was very clean. I will stay at this Ryokan when I return to visit Takayama. Two thumbs up recommendation.

Run by a lovely, funny woman. We rented bikes from next door and explored the town. Lots of lovely shops and folk art artisans. We bought a beautiful teapot with cups from a local potter. There is a morning market just across the bridge from the ryokan. Lovely.
