A quiet hot-spring inn half an hour from Kyoto, with rice cooked over a kamado, inari sushi left in your room at night and an art-filled lobby — choose a room with its own onsen bath, and expect some dated corners
Sumiya Kiho-an began in 1955 as Sumiya, an inn opened by a family of charcoal merchants, and took its present name in 1988; it celebrated its 70th year in 2025–26. It has 25 rooms in the hills of Yunohana Onsen, a simple weakly radioactive (radon) spring in Kameoka, easy to reach from Kyoto by JR and the inn's shuttle. Food is the strongest point: one major site scores it 4.60, the highest of its categories. Dinner is a monthly Kyoto kaiseki with Kameoka beef and Koshihikari rice cooked in a kamado, and bloggers from 2022 to 2026 all mention the inari sushi left in the room as a late-night snack. In 2021–22 the inn added a lobby gallery by artist Yanagi Yukinori and a 140㎡ art suite. Japanese guests rate it 4.40 across 122 reviews, 4.38 across 279 and 4.8 across 118 on three major sites. The weak points are older rooms (one suite's staff said it was 30-plus years old), lukewarm in-room baths in summer, bugs in the wooded rooms, uneven service in late 2025 and 2026, and no coffee in the rooms.
Guía para elegir habitación
Lo que recomiendan quienes se han alojado aquíRecomendadas
The six onsen open-air-bath rooms — Honami, Seon, Sawarabi, Tōgasumi, Tsukioboro, Seiyū (68–100㎡)
The official site markets these as having free-flowing onsen open-air baths. A January 2022 blogger in Honami loved its in-room foot bath. A May 2023 guest in Seon bathed four times and enjoyed its private counter dining, and a repeat guest stayed in Seiyū, with its jacuzzi and stone sauna, twice in early 2026.
Art Room Kohoo (呼風, 140㎡)
Opened in April 2022 with two onsen baths ('heaven and earth'). A March 2023 couple paid ¥223,900 for two with both meals, and dinner included fugu, salt-baked nodoguro and sukiyaki cooked at the table by the chef.

Older suites, and the Yama-no-Terrace rooms (44㎡)
Honami is dark and has no view, according to a 2022 guest. Seon is over 30 years old, and a 2023 guest noticed a worn wooden bath floor. In August 2026 another guest found its open-air bath extremely lukewarm and slow to warm up. The Yama-no-Terrace rooms have an onsen open-air bath that you fill yourself, but they sit on a wooded slope with insects, and a May 2022 guest found a dead bug floating in the bath. A September 2026 reviewer could see ducting in the woods from their bath. The Yama-no-An rooms without a bath are the cheapest way in.

La cocina a fondo
Consenso sobre el desayuno
4.5/5Kyoto obanzai on small plates, rice from the kamado and fresh oboro tofu
Book the inn's shuttle from JR Kameoka (14:55–17:55) or the Torokko Kameoka station; the return runs at 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 and can drop you at the Hozugawa river-boat pier. Bring your own coffee if you need it — rooms have herbal tea only.
Claves de la cena
4.6/5A monthly Kyoto kaiseki, with seasonal menus of matsutake in autumn (1 September–23 November), fugu, botan nabe or crab in winter, and hamo in summer. It's served in the dining room Shunzen Zuika, with its kamado, or in your room on some plans. Families with children eat in their room. Bloggers praise the redcurrant aperitif wine, Hatchō miso red soup, Kameoka beef sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, and the inari sushi left in the room. There's a sommelier and a list of Austrian wines. In 2025–26 the complaints were about service rather than taste: little explanation of the dishes, plates set down noisily, and one December 2025 reviewer felt it wasn't worth over ¥30,000 per person.
Onsen y bienestar: la realidad
Yunohana Onsen, a simple weakly radioactive (radon) spring that rises cool, so it is heated. One booking site lists the public open-air bath as heated and not free-flowing, while the official site describes the premium rooms' baths as free-flowing onsen.
Separate men's and women's baths, each with an indoor and an open-air bath, open 15:00–10:00 through the night. The men's side has blue Shikoku stone and a lie-down bath; the women's open-air tub is made from a 1,000-year-old cherry tree. A private open-air bath, Yama-no-Kakureyu, is a 2–3 minute walk up a gravel path (45 minutes, ¥3,300 with tax, reservation required); guests call it smaller than expected and buggy in summer. A 2026 reviewer found the stairs to the public open-air bath slippery.
