Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 This ryokan mixes traditional charm with some modern touches. The rooms incorporate tatamis and Japanese elements well, but with notable simplicity. The baths seem functional but not enchanting. The cuisine is decent without being dazzling, and the exterior offers a pleasant but modest view. A pleasant but not unforgettable experience.
