We loved it ....the staff was kind and efficient...highly reccomend this hotel!

Lovely, remote stay in an old house, highly recommended.

Nice hotel with star facilities

The place is half an hour away from Kyoto Prefecture however, it is the most beautiful place to stay. Away from hustle bustle, amidst the mountains and amazing scenery. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who's travelling for leisure. Bamboo forest is 10 mins away by train. I lived the spa and relaxation as well which is included in the stay.

Worth every cent! What an experience! I wasn't sure at first (as I had the whole responsibility on me to decide for the group I was with) and if you're on a budget like we were, well this is a spend ..BUT..so happy I booked Ryokan Sumiya Kihon. As a tattooed group we had to rent private. It was hilarious to be butt naked with your best friends and ridiculously relaxing. The food is delicious. Breakfast= huge but Dinner = a little small for our crew. (Spanish/Australian mix). It's fine. Just bring snacks ;).

This was an exceptional stay. I've always had the dream to stay at a ryokan with my own private onsen attached. The Suisen has blown all my expectations out the water. The Ryokan is incredibly beautiful and the staff is wonderful and helps wherever they can. You get your own separate dining room in the restaurant and are served Japanese food of the highest quality. I stayed two nights and got served Kaiseki the first night and Sukiyaki the second. Breakfast was traditionally Japanese both mornings. My room was spotless and beautiful. Free drinks were provided, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Having a private wooden onsen on the balcony was wonderful and I enjoyed both evenings, relaxing in the onsen while sipping on Nihonshu and enjoying the beautiful garden below. There is also a private onsen outdoors, which can be booked for a fee for a certain amount of time and also gender separated onsen, that can be used by everyone, located on the ground floor. Free milk is provided outside the onsen and you also have access to free ice cream and hot drinks at any point in the lobby. You are provided with a Yukata on arrival, which you can wear inside your room, to dinner and while walking around the ryokan. The location is in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful nature of Kyoto prefecture. The staff contacts you before arrival and asks you, when you want to be picked up from Kameoka station via their shuttle service. I would suggest picking an early timeslot, so you are able to spend as much time at the Suisen as you can. I took a long walk on my second day around the area and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the area. If you are looking to escape the hectic life of the Japanese cities or want to wind down after several weeks of sightseeing, look no further than the Suisen.

The hotel itself is very nice and adds to the whole ryokan experience, but I would say the staff was what I liked the most. The hospitality was incredibly welcoming and the service was a 10/10. For example, one time we missed the bus that takes you into town, and a staff member offered to take us to where we were going. They really go out of their way for you!

We reached Takao station by bus, and there was someone there from the hotel waiting for us to take us by shuttle to the ryokan. The ryokan itself located in a beautiful location near the river and Jinkoji temple. The area itself is a hidden gem, serene and far from the crowds of Kyoto. The service was amazing, the food, the room and the view from the outdoor bathtub.

Unbeatable staff who do everything to make you feel welcome and taken care of. I was sick for a couple of days while I was here, and felt so looked after! I asked them to put out a futon for me mid day so I could lie down, and they did this with no fuss and brought me a full tea service. On top of that, the private onsen really helped to improve my physical health. Our room was spacious, had great lighting, and we thought the futons were comfy! The dinner service was also magical in every way - make sure you’re hungry by 6 ;)
