Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 While offering a warm ambiance, this ryokan combines traditional and modern attractions. Rooms with tatami add an immersive touch, although some aspects are slightly contemporary. The natural hot baths are a highlight, and the local cuisine, while correct, lacks a bit of refinement.
