Japanese Authenticity Rating
4/10 Surprisingly simple in its approach, this ryokan offers a mix of modern and traditional elements. Although some spaces exude authenticity, the baths are rather basic, and the culinary experience seems modest. The rooms are functional but lack immersive charm related to Japanese culture.
