Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Oscillating between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers quirky architecture and unique design elements. The culinary experience seems limited but correct. The well-appointed rooms combine tatami mats and contemporary touches. The baths, although present, lack authenticity for a full immersion. An original approach that could benefit from more tradition.
