Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Perfectly located in a charming setting, the ryokan blends modern style and traditional touches in its design. The culinary experience is adequate but lacks authentically Japanese refinement. The baths are simple but available, and the rooms combine comfort and elegance, albeit with a dominant modern aesthetic.
