Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Perfect blend of tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers rooms with tatamis and futons, a pleasant Japanese ambiance, and a modest bath. The cuisine appears well-cared for without reaching excellence. Authenticity is present, but some modern elements slightly reduce the immersion.
