Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Elegantly nestled in nature, this ryokan blends modern atmosphere with traditional elements such as outdoor baths, but sometimes lacks immersive details. The kaiseki seems absent or not highlighted, while some rooms favor a contemporary aesthetic. A beautiful balance to perfect for a more authentic experience.
