Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Impression mixing modernity and tradition, this ryokan offers elegant architecture but deviates from strictly classic codes. The baths have a relaxing charm but without an apparent onsen source. The modern rooms lack tatami but offer soothing views, with decent cuisine although not authentically refined.
