Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 The ryokan charmingly blends traditional touches, such as tatamis and shōji, while integrating modern elements. The cuisine highlights local products but without reaching the refinement of sophisticated kaiseki. Baths are present, though their aspect remains quite modest.
