Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Beautifully located in a serene setting, this ryokan offers an authentic Japanese ambiance with rooms decorated with tatami and futons. Traditional elements dominate, although some modern touches remain. The absence of an onsen is compensated by the elegance of the spaces, but the cuisine could not be evaluated to enrich the experience.
