Japanese Authenticity Rating
8/10 Generously located with architecture faithful to the Japanese style, this ryokan offers warm rooms arranged with tatami and futons. The onsen provides a peaceful, well-integrated place, and the kaiseki meal is carefully presented. Some modern touches slightly temper the overall traditional immersion.
