Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 A ryokan combining Japanese charm and modern conveniences. The rooms, well-decorated with tatamis, offer a typical immersion. The onsen is decent but without particular appeal. The cuisine respects local flavors without being exceptional. The building lacks authenticity but the atmosphere remains pleasant. A satisfying experience to discover Japan.
