A traditional Ryokan with Sukiya-style architecture, embodying the spirit of the tea ceremony throughout.
A renowned Ryokan, Sumiya Ryokan, featuring a sukiya-style architecture, offers an exceptional sense of tranquility that feels far removed from the bustling streets of Kyoto. The kaiseki dinner is exquisite, and on the evenings of the 7th and 17th each month, tea ceremonies are held in the tea room for your enjoyment.
Despite being located in a lively part of town, the property felt like a different world—wrapped in serene tranquility. The cool breeze drifting through the reed doors and the pleasantly textured ajiro weaving, which I experienced for the first time, deeply moved me as part of Japan’s beautiful “summer setting.” Listening to the gentle sound of the shishi-odoshi echoing through the impeccably kept garden and spending time in the dignified tea room were truly luxurious moments that soothed my soul. The food and drinks were also exceptional—everything felt wonderfully satisfying to all five senses. Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful touches throughout. It became a wonderful summer memory, and my first visit back to Kyoto in a while was made even more special.
なはとまや 6/30/2026I fully enjoyed the summer setting in my favorite “Izutsu” room.Next time, I’ll visit in winter. I’m looking forward to spending quiet, relaxing time at Sumiya Ryokan, surrounded by crisp air.Thank you very much.

Introduction of the Accommodation
Tea Room
In the spirit of the tea ceremony, which teaches that true hospitality lies in sincerity, we at Sumiya welcome our guests with this same heartfelt approach.
Meals
Kyoto cuisine is categorized into four types: court cuisine passed down from the Imperial Palace, vegetarian cuisine developed in Zen temples, kaiseki cuisine based on tea ceremony traditions, and home-style cooking nurtured in townhouses. Known as "Kyoto cuisine," it modernizes these traditional methods with a focus on seasonal presentation. The flavors are light to highlight the natural taste of the ingredients, pairing perfectly with Fushimi's renowned sake.
Room
A traditional sukiya-style design favored by tea masters. In the soft, dim light, relax and admire the amber glow of Kitayama cedar pillars and the textured earthen walls. The tasteful decor and serene atmosphere evoke a sense of seasonal beauty—an embodiment of wabi aesthetics.
