Description

Sumiyoshi (courtesy of BC, Sydney, Australia)

Location: Takayama, Gifu Prefecture

Welcome to Sumiyoshi. This Traditional Ryokan (see definition of ryokan styles below) is typical of Takayama's famous architectural design, and it was built in the early 20th century. Indeed, the owners have kept the same design and style throughout the 20th century at Sumiyoshi. In the lobby, a suit of samurai armour greets the guests and there is also an open hearth from Japan's samurai era. Staying at Sumiyoshi is like staying in a museum. Sumiyoshi is filled to the brim with artifacts, nick-nacks, and furniture dating back many, many years. If you are looking for a historical Japanese atmosphere, then you will enjoy your stay at Sumiyoshi. There are 20 traditional Japanese-style guest rooms, and the rooms offer either a river view or a view of Sumiyoshi's garden. This is an old fashioned traditional ryokan and only one guest room has a private bath and toilet - the other 19 guest rooms do not have private baths or toilets. The owners are very proud of the high quality of their cuisine, and guests can enjoy typical Takayama-style dishes. Guests can leave their luggage at Sumiyoshi prior to check-in (15:00-18:30) and after checking out (before 10:00 am). English is spoken at this ryokan.
