Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 While mixing modern and traditional influences, this ryokan maintains a typical Japanese atmosphere. The rooms with tatami mats and futons, as well as the well-appointed onsen, are strong points. However, some modern elements and the cuisine, although decent, lack a bit of authenticity and refinement to fully enrich the experience.
