Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 With a superb view and an authentic onsen, this ryokan offers an immersive experience. The rooms mix modern elements with tatamis, while the meal seems varied but lacks absolute refinement. The overall ambiance remains pleasant, although some modern aspects take precedence over pure Japanese tradition.
