Sumatakyo Onsen Suikoen

With its waterwheel at the entrance and spacious, relaxing lobby, this Ryokan has the calm, dignified atmosphere of a long-established inn. In the guest rooms, you are welcomed by the gentle aroma of tea from an incense burner, and throughout the stay you’ll find thoughtful touches unique to Shizuoka’s renowned tea culture—such as complimentary chilled tea in the bath area and tea shabu-shabu served with meals. The staff were kind and pleasant everywhere from the front desk to the dining room, allowing us to enjoy a truly unhurried stay. The shop also had an appealing selection of items.

The front desk, restaurant, and service staff were all very pleasant, leaving a lasting impression. Thanks to them, I had a relaxing stay. Although the facility felt slightly dated, the room was clean and comfortable. The Onsen water was not too hot, allowing for a leisurely soak. Amenities were sufficient as well. The meals cooked over the irori (traditional hearth) were delicious, and there was an enjoyable selection of rare local sake to choose from. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I would love to visit again!
