Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Located in a pleasant natural setting, this ryokan combines traditional elements with modernity. The rooms offer charming Japanese touches, while the baths are well-maintained, though without a spectacular view. The cuisine seems simple but satisfying. However, the building presents more functional than traditional aspects.
