Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Harmonizing tradition and modernity, this ryokan charms with its spacious baths and pleasant ambiance. The culinary setting lacks Kaiseki refinement, while the rooms, though elegant, have some modern touches that reduce immersion. The architecture blends authentic features and contemporary comfort, offering a harmonious but less typically Japanese mix.
