Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
8/10 True to traditions, this ryokan offers a beautiful atmosphere thanks to elegant interiors with tatamis, shōji, and a zen setting. The baths, while functional, slightly lack an exceptional charm. The culinary experience and some modern details bring a contemporary touch while preserving a predominantly authentic ambiance.
