Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 While offering a visually attractive setting, this ryokan presents a mix of traditional Japanese and contemporary elements. The culinary experience seems refined but its authenticity may be partially modernized. The baths remain pleasant but do not strongly stand out for local inspiration. The comfortable rooms evoke a hybrid ambiance.
