Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Touches of authenticity emanate from this ryokan, notably thanks to the rooms with tatamis and futons. The exterior and the baths add a natural and relaxing dimension. However, some modern and western elements slightly compromise the overall immersive experience expected from traditional Japanese style.
