Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Harmoniously located, this ryokan alternates between tradition and modern comfort. The onsen baths offer a soothing experience, but the rooms mix more modernity than authenticity. The architecture leans towards a hybrid style, while the refined cuisine highlights local dishes. Pleasant ensemble but slightly distant from traditional Japanese codes.
