Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Somewhere between modernity and tradition, this ryokan offers a decent onsen experience but without brilliance. The rooms show a partially Japanese design. The cuisine seems meticulous but distant from traditional kaiseki. The overall ambiance retains a welcoming charm despite pronounced Western touches.
