Around Honnō-ji Temple × Zen-Inspired AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

With the spirit of “Raisha Nyoki” (welcoming you as if returning home) and a deep respect for tradition, we have long hosted Bakumatsu-era patriots, members of the Imperial family, writers and artists, as well as guests from overseas. Our cuisine features kaiseki that reflects Kyoto’s annual events and the changing seasons. We would be delighted if you would spend a peaceful time at our historic Ryokan, embracing a culture that cherishes fine craftsmanship and harmony with nature.

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.

Enjoy soothing, scenic views in a tranquil setting—yet step outside and you are seamlessly connected to Kyoto’s iconic neighborhoods such as Gion, Kawaramachi, and Pontocho in this one-of-a-kind location. Experience a space where the refined aesthetics passed down through the ages since the Heian period blend with The Ritz-Carlton’s renowned hospitality, and savor a sense of relaxation found only here.

Yoshikawa was established as a culinary Ryokan after World War II, located near the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the heart of Rakuchu. The garden, known as "Taikyoen," is said to have been designed by Enshu Kobori and retains some features from the Edo period. The Sukiya-style building, once a residence of a wealthy merchant, offers an atmosphere of tranquility and charm that feels far removed from the bustling city. We hope you will enjoy your stay at our culinary Ryokan, where you can relax and feel at home.

Tawara-an is an Accommodation renovated from a traditional Kyoto townhouse built in 1897. While preserving the original layout of the machiya row house once used as both workshop and home by an artisan who crafted the Imperial Seal (official seal) for the Imperial Family, it has been updated with interiors that bring a modern touch. The concept of this Kyoto machiya Accommodation is “a place to stay as if you live in Kyoto.” Enjoy Kyoto’s unique atmosphere to the fullest while staying here like a local.
