Sumiyoshiya is the first place I've booked with not much information apart from Trip Advisor, and I'm happy to say that the excellent reviews are entirely accurate. I was very sorry that I could only stay one night! The family who run the ryokan, especially Mie-san, are so, so friendly. Changed into slippers and was shown through the beautiful old... More

“Good choice in Kanazawa”

This is a friendly ryokan where we had a traditional Japanese room. It has a good location for the Kenruko-en garden and the city center. The Japanese breakfast was good and the common bath was nice as well. We could park our car in front of the ryokan.

“Excellent services & comfortable rooms -- highly recommended!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2012

My husband and I went to Kanazawa in late March 2012. The entire Sumi Family welcomed us very warmly, and provided impressive services with great smiles. They also upgraded our room to the one with bathroom (we booked a room with no bathrooms), which was very, very, clean and comfortable. I would love to go back to Kanazawa just to... More

We wanted to stay in a ryokan and chose the Sumiyoshiya for our three-night stay in Kanazawa. We could not have been happier. Mie Sumi, who runs the inn, was very helpful by email before our trip, including getting reservations at various attractions and arranging for a car and English-speaking driver for a day trip to Takayama and Shirakawa, and...

This hotel would have us coming back to Kanazawa. The wonderful young female owner upgraded us to a 17 tatami room (3 rooms + bathroom) and took good care of us after traveling by train from Kyoto. Our room also had a very funny Tanuki in the bathroom which was very cool. If we went back we would definitely pay... More

I drove here from Kyoto, and it was such a welcome end to the day! They have free parking available just around the corner from the ryokan, so be sure to let them know if you have a car when you book.

“great choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We splurged and chose the largest tatami room (17 mats) and that was a great decision. The smaller rooms look nice too, but to have such huge space, as the 17 mat room gives you, makes you feel like having temporarily slipped into feudal Japan. today's Japan doesn't offer space in hotel rooms anymore - or shall we say affordable...
