Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Well located and featuring rooms in Japanese style, this ryokan harmoniously combines traditional and modern elements. The baths are classic but pleasant, and the cuisine, though decent, lacks notable authenticity. Overall, it offers a pleasant experience without being fully immersive in traditional Japanese culture.
