Review of Kyoto Sumiya Ryokan

Sumiya Ryokan is considered to be one of the best ryokans in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded during the Taisho period to provide guests with a place to stay and experience the Japanese tea ceremony. As a matter of fact, the place is not far from the Maikoya tea house which is the best rate tea house in Kyoto.
Once entering the inn you will see an inner courtyard with a beautiful garden. The garden is also faced by the authentic traditional Japanese restaurant that serves the kaiseki course meal with fresh vegetables changed every season.

Also, this ryokan is famous for its tea rooms. Its guests can try to make, serve, and drink Japanese tea. This service is a combo of an amazing world of "O-cha" Japanese tea and its techniques and customs. They improve the taste of the tea itself and increase the level of enjoyment. 
You can always try matcha green tea in a tea room. The taste is fantastic!
