Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Perfectly in harmony with its traditional architecture, this ryokan elegantly mixes authentic elements with modern touches. The rooms with tatamis create a peaceful ambiance, but the baths lack a natural onsen. The refined culinary experience is not explicitly visible, but the external setting instantly charms with cherry blossoms.
