Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 A charming ryokan merging traditional and modern elements. The visually crafted meals offer a beautiful culinary discovery, and the baths are pleasant although they lack unique charm. The rooms, with tatami and thoughtful details, make the experience authentic despite a more functional than artistic exterior architecture.
