Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 A charming ryokan offering a pleasant ambiance with rooms equipped with tatami mats and futons. Although the architecture combines various styles, the modest baths and standard cuisine limit the feeling of cultural authenticity. However, the environment surrounded by winter nature makes for a restful experience.
