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.
This was my first overnight stay in exactly four months, and I was able to relax at ease, as if I had returned home on New Year’s Day of the lunar calendar. In the season when spring begins to arrive, surrounded by seasonal flowers that herald early spring, I enjoyed a kaiseki dinner served in beautiful dishes filled with my favorite foods, accompanied by “Sumiya chilled sake.” After the meal, I was also invited to a moonlit tea ceremony in remembrance of previous generations—thank you very much. The next morning, welcomed by the gentle sunlight of early spring, I enjoyed a morning bath soaking in a Koyamaki-wood tub; then, beer in hand after bathing, I savored a morning drink while gazing at the winter garden and indulged in a luxurious Kyoto-vegetable breakfast. Thank you.

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.
