Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Immersed in an atmosphere conducive to serenity, the ryokan charmingly combines tradition and modernity. The baths and gardens offer a true invitation to relaxation, and the cuisine seems to emphasize an effort of refinement. The rooms, although comfortable, do not fully immerse in a completely traditional ambiance.
