Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 With architecture combining traditional and modern touches, this ryokan offers ambivalence. The rooms have tatami mats and futons but lack decorative finesse. The baths seem functional but not exceptional, and the culinary offer remains to be evaluated. The whole creates a warm but improvable atmosphere.
