Its local flavors and privileged location make this ryokan an ideal choice for discovering Takeo.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Balance between modernity and tradition, the architecture integrates tatamis and shōji with a contemporary influence. The bath offering is modest but present, and the rooms exhibit a good aesthetic effort. However, the cuisine lacks authenticity, evoking more adaptability than a complete Japanese culinary immersion.
