Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Showing a good balance between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers pleasant experiences thanks to its rooms decorated with tatamis and its modest but functional baths. However, the culinary offer lacks an authentic and refined touch, and the overall structure does not fully integrate traditional Japanese elements.
