Sumiyoshi Ryokan
506-0011 Gifu, Takayama, Honmachi 4-21, Japan – Excellent location - show map
Staying here was the highlight of our entire tour around Japan. The rooms are amazing, the food is beyond 5* (I highly recommend going half board, well worth it - you will eat like kings!). The building is magical, takes you back in time and the host is such a character - she just doesn't stop, bustling about, cleaning, serving and laughing. All round fantastic experience!
