5/10 Revealing a blend of traditional and modern elements, this ryokan evokes a discreet charm but lacks immersive authenticity. The cuisine shows a modest effort without reaching excellence, while the simple rooms invite a comfortable stay without being remarkable. The available baths remind of a soothing experience but remain modest.
