Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Skillfully blending traditional and modern, this ryokan offers comfortable rooms with some Japanese touches. The refined cuisine highlights local flavors, and the baths, although modest, add a relaxing experience. The exterior architecture is more modern than authentic, slightly losing its charm.
