Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 This ryokan adopts a predominantly modern approach, with some touches of tatami and Japanese simplicity. However, the glaring absence of Kaiseki or authentic onsen baths diminishes the traditional experience. The ambiance of the rooms and the general decoration lack refinement and stray from the classic standards of a typical ryokan.
