Japanese Authenticity Assessment
8/10 Beautifully located, this ryokan offers mainly traditional architecture, comfortable rooms with authentic tatami, and a relaxing view. The baths, though attractive, lack a certain refinement. The kaiseki offered highlights the local culinary richness. The experience provides a lovely balance between modernity and Japanese traditions.
