Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Inspired by Japanese tradition, this ryokan offers well-decorated rooms with tatami and refined cuisine highlighting local products. The onsen promises a pleasant moment, although quite classic. However, the general architecture mixes modernity with Japanese style, slightly losing immersion.
