Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 A charming ryokan harmoniously blending tradition and modernity. The architecture partly respects the Japanese style, but some modern elements are present. The baths add a nice touch, even if their view remains modest. The authentic interior decoration and decent meals complete the experience, although a more refined kaiseki would have been appreciated.
