교토 만화경 박물관 주변 × 꽃을 즐길 수 있는 숙소식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

This is a perfect Accommodation no matter when you visit. It was Kyoto in extreme heat, but thanks to your thoughtful care in many ways, we had a wonderful time. The pike conger is a must in this season; it is an additional-order dish, but highly recommended. We are planning to visit again in autumn.

We stayed for one night on a Kyoto trip while it was still quite hot, also to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit to Sumiyasan in more than ten years, and we were welcomed with genuine warmth. The renovated room was spacious, and the bath was wonderfully relaxing—so we were able to take a soak soon after arriving and unwind. Every dish was outstanding and beautifully presented; we truly enjoyed the meal. By chance, on the day we stayed there was a tea gathering, and we were even treated to tea. This is an inn we would love to stay at again.

Its kaleidoscopic beauty resonates deeply in the heart. Exquisitely prepared with sincere care, the cuisine is truly delicious. A beautiful garden that reflects the seasons—so captivating you could gaze at it forever. Elegant summer décor that lets you fully experience Kyoto’s traditional culture. Hanging scrolls, ikebana, and a beautifully arranged Room down to every detail. The head chef, attendants, the young proprietress, and the proprietress herself offer warm, attentive hospitality with genuine grace. Thinking that all of this beauty is an expression of love for each guest fills me with freshness and gratitude. At Kikkawa, you can feel the refined spirit of Kyoto—an appreciation for making everyday life beautiful and joyful. It began as an Accommodation I hoped to stay at at least once in my life; before I knew it, this was my 11th visit. A superb culinary Ryokan I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who truly loves Kyoto.

Although I had long heard great reviews, I had never had the chance to stay here, so I finally booked a stay. Right after check-in, the staff welcomed me in a very friendly manner; it felt slightly surprising at first, but the lovely and delicious tea sweets made me feel it was a wonderful atmosphere. The Room was very compact and well organized, and I believe everything I needed was provided. Because the bathtub had been filled before check-in, I planned to bathe before dinner; however, to be honest, the water was so hot that I couldn’t get in. During the Room explanation, they did mention that it had been made hot in advance, but it still felt too hot. For better or worse, the bathtub is very large. That is quite rare for a historic Accommodation located in town, and it was pleasantly impressive—though I also realized that cooling it down takes time. As for dinner, before it began they showed me around the kitchen and ingredients area, which was an experience that really sparked my curiosity. The paired wines matched the dishes extremely well, and throughout the course—featuring rare and premium ingredients—I was satisfied overall; everything tasted excellent. For breakfast, since plenty of rice was prepared for us, I felt it would be even better with one or two more small side dishes (obanzai). In terms of other services as well, their attentive hospitality stood out; by checkout time, I already felt like returning again soon. Overall—and this may be something you only understand once you’ve stayed—I felt truly at-home hospitality here, and I think this is an Accommodation worth staying at again in a different season.
