Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 This ryokan elegantly combines modernity and tradition, with tatami and shōji in some rooms, but retains some modern touches. The onsen, charming but without exceptional views, add to the comfort. Traditional meals are carefully crafted and refined, while the architecture maintains a charm inspired by classic Japan.
